About 90% of the beauty bloggers and YouTubers start with doing their face make up: foundation, concealer, blush, etc. In some way it makes sense. You get the canvas ready, before you can start painting on it. But I'm here to tell you that you should switch the order & why!

| Eyeshadow fallout gone wrong.. Source |
How many time have you done your whole makeup look, with extra care, and then.. Fallout. The eyeshadow is everywhere. No problem, you can swipe it away with a fan-brush or a big powder brush. But if you wait a little too long, the eyeshadow sets and ruins your makeup. It may not be obvious, but your face makeup will not look as flawless as before!

Without eyeshadow this scene occurs as well. Imagine: you just applied your foundation and concealer and you start doing your mascara. Oops, bottom lashes ruin everything because you accidentally look down. Oops, your cheek is black, because your hand (with mascara brush) slipped. Oops, you dropped your face in a pile of eyeliners and accidentally moved your head up and down and now your entire face is ruined. It happens.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Start with doing your eye makeup, whether it is or isn't eyeshadow. Once you're done, start with your foundation, apply concealer and your blush/contour/highlighter. And once you're done, your lips can be provided with a little lip paint!
You gotta love my photoshop skills by the way. I bet you didn't notice that the last two pictures were photoshopped. Well, they are. It's not real fallout. Fooled you!
In what order do you apply your makeup?
Hahaha I laughed so hard at the 'avatar' picture!!
ReplyDeleteGreat tips!!

Hahaha I laughed too while writing! Thank you for your comment :) X

ReplyDeleteYou're never alone, girl! Trust me on that one :) I hope it goes better now that you changed the order :) X

Thank you for your comment! Jup, I've been having that problem for so long and this easy solution just solved it for me :) X
Deletecompletely agree! i also find i feel the need to wear less foundation/concealer once my eyes are done, but if it start with foundation i always wear too much.
ReplyDeleteeyes are the hardest bit so it's definitely best to start with them so mistakes can be corrected without ruining the rest of your makeup.
That's right, Janine! I use more concealer too, if I start with applying that. Thank you for your comment! X
Deletelol I love the photoshopped pictures! made me laugh :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha glad I could put a smile on your face :) X
DeleteLMAO at the fall out. Sorry I didn't had a picture, i usally try to capture my makeup all pretty and stuff, not fallout-y :P
ReplyDeleteYou know I do my makeup in this order. I'm too lazy to pick up a tissue and hold it underneath my eye to capture fall out. I mean, save the trees! And I never put foundation over my lids, because it will crease in 5 minutes, no joke. I just put concealer colour primer and it works.
Great post, my love Xx

It's okay, love! I was surprised I didn't have any too, since I used to do many tutorials and I remember that I always coped with fallout over my face. Lol this is ideally for lazy people like you. And I. I don't put foundation on my lids either. Everything creases with my, except eyeshadow primer and my new MAC concealer. Thank you, gorgeous, I'm glad you like it! X
DeleteLol!!! I do face, eyes, lips but have my trick in avoiding fallout! xx
ReplyDeleteOh Vic, always laughing at me! I know some tricks too, but it's impossible to overcome my laziness sometimes haha :) X
DeleteHaha funny photo! I have to get into the habit of doing my eyes before my foundation.

Good luck! I'm a big fan of that order :) X
DeleteI've started doing my eyes first for this very reason. It's strange getting used to it at first, I automatically want to grab that foundation first thing, but it really does help! And you should've completed her look with some bright red lipstick! Lol :D
ReplyDeleteIt's a routine and a habit you need to break! Lol, next time I'll give her a nice red pout too!! X
DeleteLmao at that photo!! I do that, makes life easier! Or if I'm in a rush just fold a cotton pad and tape it under your eyes x :D
ReplyDeleteOh that's a good tip as well, thank you! X
DeleteFab tips... will give this a go. :) thank you
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for reading and commenting! I'm glad you liked the tip! :) X
DeleteThis is so true, even when we wipe it away, it's still not the same, there's this dirty look going on.. I always try to start with eyes first but most of the time I unconsciously start with face make-up & then remember when it's too late..
ReplyDeleteFallout sucks..!
It'll never be the same after you wiped away the fallout! I know exactly what you mean, it's a habit you need to break. At first I grabbed my concealer & foundation too but now I automatically grab the eyemakeup first :) X
