What Is the Correct Order of Makeup?
The correct order of makeup application helps create a smooth, long-lasting, and flawless look. Here’s a general step-by-step guide for applying makeup in the correct order:
1. Skin Prep (Very Important!)
Cleanser – Start with a clean face.
Toner (optional) – Balances skin pH.
Moisturizer – Hydrates the skin.
Sunscreen – Always apply SPF (before makeup primer).
Primer – Smooths the skin and helps makeup last longer.
2. Face Makeup
Foundation – Creates an even skin tone.
Concealer – Covers dark circles, blemishes, or redness.
Setting Powder – Locks foundation and concealer in place (especially under eyes and oily zones).
Contour/Bronzer – Adds definition and warmth to the face.
Blush – Adds a healthy flush to cheeks.
Highlighter – Adds glow to high points of the face (cheekbones, nose bridge, etc.).
3. Eye Makeup
Eyebrows – Fill and shape.
Eye Primer – Helps eyeshadow stay longer.
Eyeshadow – Apply as desired.
Eyeliner – Defines the eyes.
Mascara – Lengthens and thickens lashes.
False Lashes (optional) – Apply after mascara if using.
4. Lips
Lip Balm – Prep lips (apply early to let it sink in).
Lip Liner – Define the shape.
Lipstick/Lip Gloss – Add color or shine.
5. Setting
Setting Spray – Locks everything in place for long wear.

Here’s a simple, step‑by‑step guide to layering your skincare products for maximum benefit. You can follow this routine morning and night
Daily Skincare Routine
- Cleanser
Use a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, oil, and impurities. - Toner
Apply a toner to balance pH, minimise pores, and prep skin for better absorption. - Spot Treatment
Dab targeted treatment on blemishes to deliver actives directly. - Serum
Pat on a concentrated serum (e.g., Vitamin C in the AM, retinol or hyaluronic acid at night). - Eye Care
Gently tap an eye cream or serum around the orbital bone to address dark circles and puffiness. - Moisturiser
Lock in hydration with a lightweight formula in the morning and a richer one at night. - Facial Oil
Seal in moisture by applying oil over your moisturiser (before SPF in the AM, as the last step at night). - Sunscreen (morning only)
Finish with a broad‑spectrum SPF to protect against UVA/UVB and environmental damage.
Weekly Boost: After cleansing and toning, use a clay or hydrating mask 1–2 times per week to deep‑clean pores or boost moisture.
