In What Order Should I Apply My Makeup?

I recently asked on my Facebook Page if anyone had questions they wanted answered.  My friend Julie, asked "what are the makeup steps as far as order?".  Great question!  Let's dive in.

First, let me place my disclaimers:
1.   The order will be different for most individuals - after playing around with a few different "orders" find and use what works best for YOU.
2.  The steps below are a general list.  I usually follow this, but sometimes I go a little crazy and don't "paint" in order.  ;)

Before applying makeup, always make sure you are starting with a clean canvas.  Translation:  Clean your face and moisturize! Here's the general order I follow:

1.    Eye shadow Primer
2.   Eyes: shadow, liner, mascara, etc. (be sure to clean up any mess that may have fallen underneath)
3.   Foundation
4.   Brows
5.   Corrector & concealer
6.   Set face and concealer with powder
7.   Bronzer
8.   Blush
9.   Highlight
10.   Lips

So there you go ladies, now you know my secret.  Not at all - kidding.  I hope you found this helpful.  If you have any tips or orders of your own you want to share, please feel free to!
