What's the step-by-step in applying make up? Primer first then the liquid foundation then what?

I mean the final touch up to make the skin radiant...ThanksWhat's the step-by-step in applying make up? Primer first then the liquid foundation then what?
1.) Start with clean, prepped face. (Medication, Moisturizer if you need it, Sunblock, [Always!], Anti-Shine, etc.)





2.) Lightly spead primer onto all areas you want to cover with foundation.





3.) Apply foundations starting in middle of your face, tapering to very light coverage to the jawbone and hairline.





4.) Set foundation with light dusting of loose powder





5.) Apply blush. If powder, cover all area of brush, ';Pop'; in apple of your cheek and blend slightly outward and upwards, but use a light touch so that you don't have harsh streaks. If cream, dab on apple and blend with your fingers in the same way.





6.) If you want a light airbrushed look, use a pearly highlighter on top of your cheekbones and sweep above eyes. Also run brush lightly across forehead, down bridge of nose and tip of chin.





For a summer look, use a brozer instead, and apply exactly the same.





7.) Do your eyes. (Don't forget your eyebrows.)





8.) Finish with lips.





9.) If shiny again dust more loose powder on your oily zones.What's the step-by-step in applying make up? Primer first then the liquid foundation then what?
well first your primer should be a good moisturizer and next it doesnt always have to be a liquid foundation. I actually think that mineral pressed foundation covers just as good but leaves your face so smooth looking. Next comes your eyes than your cheeks. Its all about choosing the right colors for your skin tone. If you feel like your skin is looking dull and sallow after you apply your foundation you might want to switch to a different brand. Or apply a bronzer to give your skin that glow. Try christimarcosmetics.com. They have a great mineral foundation line and their bronzer is the best I have ever used. Trust me you wont regret it.
I would say it goes in this order:





-moisturizer


-blot off excess with tissue


-primer [if you need it to fill in large pores]


-foundation [liquid or power or cream, whatever you prefer]


-use loose powder to lightly dust your whole face, brush off excess also


-lightly spray your whole face with a face mist [ei. Evian spray or Vichy or just any other spray...must be in arosal can, not in a pump] THIS will give you a fresh glow... and really even out your makeup

This is what I usually do - not sure if a make-up artist would say it was correct but it is a shot lol!!!





I wash my face (I use the Clinique 3 step thing)


toner


moisturize


wait a few minutes


concealer and primer etc


base/foundation


powder


cheeks


eyelids


brows and finally


lips
Professionally I do in this order: Primer, liquid foundation, conceal any flaws, shadow, eyeliner,mascara, blush, lips. I finish with a mineral foundation for coverage and glow. I like to highlight cheeks with Highbeam by Benefit. Best of luck.
