*queen of piling it on coming through*
here we go>>
Uh well it depends but usually I do my eyes partially first so eye primer/eyeshadow because literally it can get everywhere so putting it on after foundation makes no sense
Then I usually pile on the concealer

Set the foundation under my eyes because lord does it crease like hell
er I usually wing eyeliner idk what you call it yolo
mascara obvs or I look like a meth addict let's be real
eyebrow power to the max, I've only just started using the kits with the angled brush you put brow wax on tho
er I usually contour but my face is kinda red and blush looks horrendous on me so no thanx
I don't really wear anything on my lips but if I do it could be any colour tbh, I been on that Kylie Jenner nude lip lately tho idk I like it

there you go very informative *flies away*
It's a lot less in the summer in terms of foundation b/c uncomfortable tho

Perhaps it isn't right for your skin type! Revlon do good ones, and they have different textures for different skin types so you can find a perfect match. If you want to stick with it, maybe you could try using a little moisturiser before putting it on

I second this, for a drugstore product their colourstay foundation is perfect, and I never ever use primer. (It's never worked for me, the only thing primer has ever done is weirdly clumped together, like when you get dried glue on your hands when you're little idk, it looks vile)

Also illamasqua have incredible foundations, but they're pretty pricey. The skin base foundation is great.
Stay away from mac oml the amount of times I have tried their foundations and they oxidise so badly. I am ridiculously pale and I look orange by the end of the day even with the lightest of their foundations.

I don't wear make-up ;-;

I used to when I was younger (junior high/some of hs), but after a while I didn't like it and just slowly stopped. now I can't even wear it because it just looks too strange to me, and tbh getting it off/not being able to rub your eyes/etc is a huge pain so I said screw it and stopped trying to go back

at first I thought I looked horrible without it but now it's been so many years that I can't remember anything different so my face just looks like.. my face and I don't think about it

I have a lot of respect for people who do their make-up really nicely because even when I wore it I never excelled at applying it

I love doing my make up! This is my routine (it's pretty long):

Spoiler: make up!!

1. I always clean my skin really well before putting on makeup, just to make sure I got off all of the old makeup, oil etc. I usually just use Clean & Clean astringent and then Loreal toner. I have a ton of different face washes so I usually just grab one and use it when I shower in the morning.

2. I use NYX HD Studio primer all over my face.

3. I use Physician's Formula concealer under my eyes, and if I have any blemishes I use Hard Candy Glamoflauge concealer.

4. I, usually lightly, apply Make Up Forever Mat Velvet+ foundation.

5. If I need full coverage I use Neutrogena skin clearing mineral powder, and for light coverage I use Elf HD powder.

6. I apply Elf Baked Blush (in the shade Peachy Cheeky), and NYX Born to Glow Illuminator (in Sunbeam) over that and on the sides of my nose.

7. I apply Hard Candy Baked Eyeshadow (not sure what the shade's name is.. but the number is 4105) on my eyelids.

8. For my brows, I brush them first and then apply NYX eyebrow shaping wax. Then, I brush them again and I use the Brow Fix palette by Milani (in medium) on my eyebrows. I use the darkest shade to shape the arch and ends of my brow, then I fill starting at the back working my way to the front to give it a faded look. Then I straighten it up with a q-tip and apply the highlighting powder underneath. If needed, I brush them again just to make sure they're shaped nicely, because my eyebrows are bad about losing shape.

9. I use Loreal Infallible gel liner (in espresso) on my water line, then Milan Eye Tech Extreme liquid eyeliner (in blackest black) on my eyelids.

10. I curl my eyelashes and then I apply Loreal Voluminous Extra-Volume Collagen mascara (in black brown) on my lashes.

11. Most days I just use Rimmel Exaggerate lip liner (in eastend snob) with Nivea lip balm, but other days I alternate with using Bonne Bell Liplites (in vanilla swirl), Loreal Color Riche lipgloss (in rich pink), and MAC Snob lipstick.

12. After everything has been applied, I use Elf's make up setting mist all over my face.

To remove my make up, I either just wash my face or I use Neutrogena's make up remover wipes (the hydrating ones or regular).
