Face products: Order of Application

1.) Cleanser: to remove any oils, bacteria, dead skin cells
2.) Serum/Treatments: your skin will absorb these more readily after cleansing and faster than a moisturizer
3.) Moisturizer: to seal in your serums or treatments, hydrate skin cells, plump up any fine lines and wrinkles makeup could settle in
4.) Primer: to create a smooth, even surface for foundation to glide over, filling in pores, fine lines, wrinkles and giving foundation an anchor
5.) Foundation: to even skin tone and conceal imperfections. Liquid foundation will glide over well-moisturized, primed skin.
6.) Concealer: we can now see the level of coverage our foundation provided and simply build upon that as needed. Applying foundation over concealer can move it around too much or dull a brightened under eye area.
7.) Powder: to set the liquid/cream portion of our application and ensure our powder products won’t grab onto sticky spots and appear blotchy.
8.) Bronzer: to bring color back into the face and add dimension. I prefer to work dark-to-light when it comes to cheek products and apply bronzer under cheekbones, at temples and around hairline.
9.) Blush: to add a pop of color to the cheeks, placing it just above the bronzer and sweeping back towards hairline.
10.) Highlighter: to bring the top of the cheekbones out and other areas of the face we want to bring forward. I create a small c-shape around my eye socket, from my cheekbones to my brow’s end.
My note: These are suggestions order of face product applications. There are some steps that you think that you do not use/need or it will take a lot of time when preparing dressing up and putting on makeup it is alright to miss some steps such as cleanser anyways you have washed your face,serum/treatment evenhighlighter but from Steps 3 to 9 they are basic. Before I used Mosturizer,foundation,concelaer,and then the blush. When I got to know the correct steps I added the primer and powder using the brush instead of small ppowder puff/ sponge the powder provides. it gave my make up application looks better than before as if i put on much flour rather than makeup.
