The Correct Order to Apply Your Makeup

Applying your beauty products should be a sequence of pampering our faces with luxurious oils and creams.

Step 1- Cleanse the skin Twice
This is the best way to get rid of every molecule of dirt / grime on the skin.

Step 2 - Toner

Step 3 - Spot / Blemish Cream
If you use any type of treatment to help take down acne or to lighten scaring on the skin; now is the best time to apply these so that your skin can soak them up properly to give you the best benefit.

Step 4 - Serum
The general rule to using face creams is to apply a serum underneath them so that they can soak deeper into the pores giving you the best results whether its hydration or oil control etc.

Step 5 - Eye Cream
You should apply an eye cream before applying your moisturizer. This is due to the product having a thin consistency as they need to be clear of barriers (moisturizer). Apply your eye cream using your ring finger (as it's the lightest) and pat it underneath the eye bone and brow bone working outwards.

Step 6 - Moisturize
I personally love to use a moisturizer that contains SPF so it saves time and money. Apply by massaging it upwards and outwards starting from the neck.

Step 7 - Primer
By using a primer it makes your makeup stay on all day but also locks in all the work you do prepping the skin before going straight into the application of makeup.

Step 8 - Foundation

Step 9 - Concealer
This helps to cover up any blemishes that need some extra coverage. If using coloured concealer the colours best to use are:
- GREEN = Blemishes / Spots / Redness
- PURPLE = Dullness
- PEACH = Dark Circles

Step 10 - Powder
Helps set your makeup and soak up any excess oil. Sweep over shiny t-zones, chins and under eyes to set the concealer.

Step 11 - Bronzer then Blusher
Bronzing powders and creams are designed to etch in a gentle structure, so do this before defining your cheeks with a pretty wash of blusher on the apple of your cheeks

Step 11 - Eye-shadow, Mascara

Step 12 - Brows
The intensity of your eyebrows should compliment your eye-shadow.

Step 13 - Lip Liner / Lipstick
Match this to compliment your makeup look.
TOP TIP:
- Light Eye-shadow = Darker or brighter lip colour
- Bright / Bold Eye-shadow = Lighter lip colour

Step 14 - Fixing Spray
This just helps finish the makeup look and lock it in for the whole day
