To many inexperienced people in the art of applying makeup, knowing the order to apply the makeup in can be a mind-boggler. For starters, you should always apply your foundation first. Make sure to evenly distribute it across your face and blend it well at the edges where it ends. Next, you will need to apply your powder over the foundation to even and smooth the application. After that, follow through with your other makeup, such as blush, eye liner, eye shadow, and others. The order of these is not terribly important, but be sure that you do a lot of blending to create a smooth and natural look.
