4: Powder
A good setting powder is key. Lightly dust a translucent powder all over your face. This helps prevent creasing during a long night or or day at work, and it keeps everything in place.

5: Eyes or Lips
This step is up to you. I personally like to apply makeup to my eyes first because I tend to be more experimental with my lip color and want to base this decision off how dramatic my eyes are.
For Eyes: shadow > liner > then mascara. Don’t be afraid of layering!
For Lips: balm > liner > lipstick or gloss. It’s a good practice to smudge your liner over the entire lip. It helps for blending with your main color.
6: Cheeks
Do this as a final touch to tie it all together. Make sure you use the “two finger rule” and only apply blush up to two fingers away from your nose.
7: Setting Spray
Get a great setting spray to complete your masterpiece. This will keep sweat and every day elements from ruining your finished product.
