#5 isn't there????

How do people do their eyes first?? If I try to put foundation on after I do my eyeliner and mascara, it gets everywhere.

Yes, applying eye makeup first is really helpful then proceed with the rest of the makeup application. I also find tape makes it easy applying eye shadow and liner gives precision, I love it!! For contour, I'm loving the anastasia contour palette, it's wonderful!!!

Agree with all these!

Bit of concealer first, then eyes, then primer, proper concealer and mineral powder foundation... I look like a tired skeleton, concealer is necessity of people not looking at you like a vampire.

I agree with some of the girls. It's hard to do your eyes 1st! Foundation makes a great base for eyeshadows to stick...1st a primer, wait 2 minutes, then foundation, wait a min, set w/a translucent powder , then start on eyes.

Where's no 5

I like the lipstick cause I'm just natural cause I'll just wear that cuz I'm country

The only reason they suggest eyes first is if your using eyeshadows that may have a lot of fallout which will ruin your under eye concealer. I sometimes do my eyeshadow first (using an eye primer), the face products, then mascara. Also if you want sharp eyeshadow lines(like a wing), use a small angled brush to line around it

Don't agree with the first one because concealer gives a good base for eye make up so that it stays in place for longer
