What order does makeup go on?

Question

for a 21 year old bruinette, green eyes, oily skin, how and what to use?

Answer 1

Skin Care (a must before applying makeup!) -
Cleanse
Exfoliate
Freshen/Tone
Moisturize

Makeup (for a full face) -
Concealer (if necessary)
Foundation
Eye Shadow
Eyeliner
Mascara
Cheek Color (blush)
Lip Liner
Lipstick
Lip Gloss

I started using Mary Kay products when I was 18, and haven't used anything else since (I'm 22 now). For skin care I would say to use the TimeWise products (make sure you get the type for combination/oily skin) or, if you have REALLY oily skin, the Velocity line. To determine which colors you can use click on this link http://www.marykay.com/daryn_anderson/whatsnew/vmo/taylor.aspx?tab=whatsnew Once you go to it you will see a picture of a model with greenish eyes and dark brown hair on one side, on the other side will be a list of color combinations for eyes, cheeks, and lips. Mix and match them to create a look that can work for you. Once you figure out the colors, you'll need to know how to apply everything. Go to the Application Tips section on the same website and it will give you step by step instructions on how to apply all of your colors. On this site you can also find more information about the skin care products that I mentioned. I hope all of this has helped! =)

I will give you some suggestions in the order I apply my makeup. Okay if you have oily skin(I do also) use a non liquid foundation, try a foundation that goes on like liquid and looks more like a powder finish, it's so much better on oily skin, Then apply eyeliner on your top lid pencil or liquid is fine, but if you want it to stay on for a long period of time i would go with liquid. During the day stick with eyeliner only on the top lid, save the eyeliner for the bottom at night time. Then I apply the eyeshadow. Since you have green eyes , a light green will intensify your green eyes and plum colors will make them pop!! Next I apply the blush, depending on your outfit and skin tone in which blush to use. If your wearing something more neutral and you are medum toned use a shuimmery brown, not dark or pink. If you are wearing bright colors and you are medium toned wear a brighter pink but not clownish, if you are fair complected use a light pink thats shimmery. Last is the lips, I don't use lipliner but if you do always use a shade that's closest to your lipstick color. Wear pinks or neutral colors if you are medium toned and if your fair use mostly neutral or lipgloss. If you have any other questions please feel free to email me.

Most people put on moisturizer, concealer, foundation, and powder first. But I had a make up artist tell me one time that the best way to do it is actually to put on your moisturizer, and while you're giving it time to absorb, put on your eyeshadow base and eyeshadow. I put eyeliner on next (especially because I use powder eyeliner), and then my mascara. After that I do concealer, foundation, poweder, blush/bronzer/highlighter. The reason for doing the eye makeup first is that A) powder eyeshadows/liners usually have excess on the applicator that can fall to your skin, especially beneath your eyes, and create shadows, and B) eyeliner and mascara are the easiest to mess up, or to get where you don't want it (really, who HASN'T accidentally globbed mascara on their nose with the end of the wand while trying to get to the corner lashes?!?), and if you apply them first and make a mistake, you are able to correct/remove it without ruining the rest of your make up. But everyone's different, so whatever works for you is the right way.

As far as what to use, my dermatologist told me that Neutrogena is actually just about the best moisturizer that you can find - it's what she uses. A lot of times people with oily skin think they don't need a moisturizer, but a moisturizer will actually help balance your skin and keep it from appearing oily. I use a little bit of everything as far as make up - I love Estee Lauder's Double Wear concealer and foundation, and I swear by Trish McEvoy's definer 20 as a liner. Nars blus in Orgasm is the best ever (I've never seen anyone that it didn't look great on!), and Benefit's Bad Gal Mascara is awesome. All the Smashbox products are unbelievably great, too. I don't know where you live, but if there's a Sephora near you,.I would recommend making an appointment to have your make up done - they carry every brand above except Trish McEvoy, and that way, you aren't being sold a brand by someone who represents only one line. Good Luck!!

Answer 5

first use consealers and highlighters than use cream to powder foundation. next,after using the foundation you use a powder to seal in the foundation for oily skin. next you use eyeshadow and then eye linerand then mascara and then if needed to bring out brows a brow pencil. Next you use a light blush and finish with your lips.

Answer 6

Well...try a light foundation first. then try some light powder to keep shine away. Then try some brown eye shadow with a light tint on pink or green in the creese of your eye. Hope this helps!!

Answer 7

you should use a superfatted soap,such as basis. Also a toner try
clinique. And of course a moisturizer for oily skin. If you use a foundation that should go on first .

Answer 8

foundation (try maybelline shine control liquid foundation), powder( i'm a fan of maybelline's loose powder), bronzer/blush, eyeshadow (browns and olive greens bring out the greens in eyes try buying the pack that is made for specific eye colors), liner (i'm partial to liquid cause it makes eyes look bolder), mascara ( I use maybelline volume express), lipgloss...
