What order do you put your make up on in?

I saw something on Pinterest yesterday which made me wonder if I've been putting my make up on in the wrong order for year.

What order do you put it on in? Or is there a correct order that I'm not aware of?

I'd never do my foundation before my eye makeup because if I accidentally got any flecks of eye make up elsewhere on my face I'd only have do to the foundation again.

I put my concealer on before my foundation, as I thought it would look obvious if you see what I mean?

I do:
Primer all over including eyelids.
Cream Eyeshadow
Eyeliner and mascara
Concealer
Foundation/powder combo or B.B. cream
Blusher or bronzer
Lipstick liner
24hr matte lipstick.

DD Cream for moisturiser and foundation,
Blusher if bothering
Eyeshadow
Lipstick

I'm so low maintenance

OutyMcOutface · 13/02/2018 14:35

Primer
Foundation
Concealer
Blush
Mascara
Lip gloss/stain
As applicable of course. My daily make up routine goes: Outy looks in the mirror and frown slightly then, with a shrug says "Meh. Could look worse." And promptly walks off and avoids looking at her reflection all day.

DeputyBrennan · 13/02/2018 16:22

Foundation
Concealer
Brow pencil
Brow powder
Face powder (I like to let it dry a bit whilst doing my eyebrows)
Eyeliner
Mascara
Lip pencil (NARS velvet matte, all-in-one-go type pencil - not lipliner)
