I’ve always done my foundation first and then eye makeup afterward. If I get any glittery eyeshadow on my face it’s hard to get off. So my question is a little chicken or the egg. Do you all do your eye makeup first or your foundation first??

If I’m doing a big bold eye look, I think it’s kind of hard to do eyes first even though the fallout gets everywhere. It’s really hard to evenly contour and apply blush around a big ass, smoked out eye look when you get to the temples. But also, I don’t always want to bake so much to keep the shadow from sticking to my cheeks. It’s a real 🤷♀️.
Day to day, I’ve found I prefer to do eyes first now that I’m getting older (38) and doing less full coverage skin. If I do eyes first I notice myself using less concealer because the eye takes focus from my skin. And while I still wear a lot of look on my eyes, it’s usually neutral enough to work with if my sheer complexion makeup bumps into it.
But if I’m planning to go full coverage on my skin for a photo shoot or something, I still do skin first so all that concealer doesn’t end up on top of my eyeshadow. Gotta accept the bake.
