Order of application for makeup?

i wear the following makeup:


cover up


foundation


mascara


eye shadow


lip stain/gloss





what order do i apply these in?


also, do you have any tips as to how to do my makeup really quickly in the morning? because i like to wake up as late as i can, but when i try to do my makeup quickly, i always smudge eyeshadow and get mascara all over my eyes.Order of application for makeup?
Here's how I apply them:


1) Foundation


2) Eye shadow


3) Mascara


4) Powder (optional)


5) Concealer


6) Lip products





Once you get the hang of your makeup routine, you can get it down to 10 minutes or less. I start getting ready an hour before I have to leave, that way I can take my time and if I mess up, I have time to fix it. If you sleep in, just apply what you need. Tinted moisturizer, blush, mascara and concealer-this is quick and easy and you can apply more if you have the time.Order of application for makeup?
On the face, I apply all the 'wet' stuff first, concealer on blemishes, my foundation, then my undereye concealer, then a setting powder, my blush, and my contour...this gives you a clean palette for everything.





Next is eye primer and then your shadow after the primer has set up. Next, dust off any excess and take care of any touch-ups, then do lipstick and gloss.





I always save liner and mascara until the very end so I can get the best life out of the wear. Also, if you do mascara before shadow, dust from the shadow will stick to the base of your freshly-coated lashes, looks sorta yucky in my opinion. I'll set my liner with a dark shadow at the very end and I'm all set.





As far as doing makeup quickly, just keep it simple. A tinted moisturizer in the morning will look natural and save you a concealer %26amp; powder step...a sweep of your favorite blush or bronzer over your eyes will serve as a pretty shadow, a flick of mascara and lip-balm and you're golden.





Best of luck =]
Foundation


A full face of foundation can feel heavy, so instead of applying it all over, touch up only those areas where your skin tone appears uneven.





Concealer


Choose a concealer that is long wearing or gives medium to full coverage in a shade that's close to you skin tone.





Blush


To choose the right color for a subtle look, find a shade that's similar to the inside of your lip.





Eye Shadow


A neutral shade acts as a base and will instantly brighten eyes. Use one with a bit of sparkle for a more festive look.





Mascara


No matter what your hair and skin combo is, use black mascara. It will define your eyes and make you appear more wide awake.





Lipstick


Try a moisture-rich formula so your lips don't dry out. (The inner-lip trick for choosing blush works for lipstick shades, too.)
i use the same products and do my make up in about 10 minutes, neatly too...so try it like this:


1. dab FOUNDATION on both cheeks, forehead, nose and chin (spread like lotion evenly)


2. EYESHADOW is next, line the lid with the darker shade and as you go up lighten shades evenly


3. do not go too heavy on the MASCARA, a quick coat then curl them with a lash curler for a fuller look (but you dont want to take attention away from the eye or eyeshadow color)


4. now use the powder COVER UP to go over any blemishes or dark spots and to blend your eyeshadow with your skin


5. finally a pink or peachy LIP GLOSS will add color to your lips and add that extra touch


***hope this helps!
Well I like to MOISTURIZE first! Then I use my powder foundation (easy and dosn't need as much time for blending and such) and then cover up where I need it, followed by a quick brush of bronzer, then I curl my lashes and then I use eyeshadow. Then I apply 2-4 coats of mascara. I then use lip gloss. My routine takes about 10 minutes. I like to keep Q-tips handy for little mistakes with my mascara. Curling your lashes is a fast and easy way to look more alert and make your lashes stand out.
the big debate: to use cover up or foundation first.... some ppl like cover up first b'c the foundation blends it in... but can also wipe off some of the concealer when u apply foundation of u use too much concealer when you don't need to





personally, i do foundation 1st





here's my 'full face' routine (10 min):





moisturizer/sunscreen


prime


foundation


cover up


setting powder


contour


blush


eyeshadow


liner

foundation (always first, helps the coverup stay longer)


cover up

cover up


foundation


eyeshadow


mascara


lip stain/gloss/balm

You got it in the right order already.
the order is right, and just get up a little earlier
Analyze your skin to see what type of skin you have: oily, combination, normal, dry, etc. Many cosmetic counters have someone there that can do a preliminary analysis of your skin, and recommend some products. If you are on a budget, see what the professional at the cosmetic counter recommends, then go to your local drug store and find a similar product for way less money!


Start with a freshly-washed face (and hands, too). Get a facial, or do one yourself. You want your face to be a clear and smooth canvas for you, the ';artist,'; to do your art. Use a good deep-cleansing mask. Do not exfoliate if you have oily or sensitive skin. It will spread bacteria around your face from the already existing blemishes. Use antibacterial soap if you have acne. Also be sure that you replace the towel you use to dry your face every week. Lastly, apply toner by taking a cotton pad that has been dampened in warm water and sweep it over your face. Toner will restore the pH level of your skin and pick up any remaining dirt.


Massage a light moisturizer into your face no matter what type skin you have, avoiding the eye area! This will help oily skin dry, and dry skin become smoother. Wait a few minutes for it to soak into your skin. After letting it sit for a while, rinse face with warm water, and pat dry.


Apply a sheer foundation that matches your skin tone.








To find the right one, go to the makeup counter at a local department store and have the artist there help you.








Wear illuminator to make your skin appear youthful and dewy compared with dull, matte makeup. Skin illuminators come in powder, cream, mousse, etc. L'Or茅al, Revlon, Neutrogena, and other brands make them - it's like make up with tiny particles that reflect light.








Use a makeup sponge or wedge, starting around the hairline and working your way down. (Use the wedge for this routine because you can be more precise about where the make up goes.) If you want a proper look that looks as if it has been done by a professional makeup artist, try using a foundation brush.


Remember to apply the makeup all the way down to your throat area and keep blending so you can't see where the make up ends. Nothing is worse than looking like you have a mask on your face!


Around the eye area, do very light strokes inward, toward the inner corner of your eye. Don't apply it to your upper eyelid! All of the professional makeup artists say not to apply foundation to this area. This is why you need a foundation that matches your skin. If you want foundation to darken your skin then try putting it above your eyes, and see what you like. Be gentle with this part, because the skin is very delicate and sensitive here.


Remember to blend all the makeup into your hairline. (but not so that your hair is another color!)


Apply concealer to any red or discolored spots. In the corners of your eyes, where it's blue, and around the nostrils are good places for this. Do this after applying foundation, so you don't use too much (many makeup artists do this the other way around). First apply the concealer, then pat very lightly with your finger to blend. Only apply concealer to the area that you want to conceal. Afterwards, use the wedge to blend the concealer in with the foundation. Stand back away from your mirror to see if you have effectively concealed the areas. Try to stand about the distance away from the mirror that you stand away from people when you talk to them. Another way to conceal blemishes is to pat green concealer on the blemishes and red spots, then put foundation over top (the green reduces redness).


Apply a loose powder all over the face using a powder brush. Pat it into the powder; then, with a paper towel, tap the brush so the excess falls off the brush. Lightly brush across the whole face. Use a powder puff (small) to apply powder on the upper lid. Apply a bronzer to your forehead, cheeks, and chin, to give a sun-kissed look,if wanted.#If you don't have much cheekbones you can contour your face, to do so you will need a brown tone of powder, don't make it ultra brown, but a milk-chocolatey kind of color. Apply a it on the brush and apply it under your cheek bones, starting from the temple and going down until underneath the apple of your cheek. Don't make it too abvious as it's meant to look like a shadow, and voila! You have cheek bones!


Highlight your brow bone and cheek bones by applying a light powder just below the brow, and to the highest part of your cheek.


Apply a small amount of blush to the apples of your cheeks. Smile so you can see the apple of your cheek. Start the application at the apple and drag the blush outward toward your temple, following your cheek bone. Blend the color down a bit below your cheekbone in towards your earlobe.








If you added too much color to the brush, use the clear side of your wedge to blend it in more until the color is faded out a bit. Your cheeks should have a hint of color. You don't want to look like a clow
