Flexible Makeup Application: Eyelashes and Sunscreen Timing for a Seamless Routine
Is it okay to apply your false lashes after completing your hair and hair styling session at a salon? The answer is yes, and you can do your makeup in any order you like without conforming to any specific rules. This article will provide you with tips and insights on the best sequence for your makeup application, including when to put on false lashes and sunscreen. Whatever works best for you is the most important factor.
Wearing Oversized Eye Makeup
Many people, especially those who find it challenging to apply makeup in salon settings, prefer to begin their pre-salon routine by focusing on their face. Some individuals, including myself, opt to apply sunscreen and foundation all over their face, including the eyelids and lips. Mixing these products ensures even coverage and provides necessary sun protection. This approach might seem messy, but it guarantees a complete and even application. Everything else follows as a layer on top of the base you’ve already created.
Putting False Lashes Last or Almost Last
When it comes to false lashes, applying them last or almost last in your makeup routine can be a beneficial choice. This timing allows your face and the rest of your makeup to dry and set before incorporating the final touch, which is the eyelashes. Doing so ensures that your lashes sit perfectly and reduces the risk of smudging or selecting the wrong look due to a haste created by limited effort or time.
Alternate Makeup Application Methods
Beyond my personal approach, there are many alternative techniques you can consider. Some individuals apply their eyes and eyebrows first, only to follow up with foundation and the rest of their makeup. While this might appear chaotic to some, it can help you get precise and even black on your eyelashes and eyebrows. This method requires being meticulous and patient as you don't want your gradient of eyeshadow or eyeliner to be affected by the application of foundation or other products.
Conclusion
Your makeup application routine is a reflection of your personal style and the specific needs of your skin. Experiment with different techniques to find what works best for you. Whether you prioritize your skincare routine first or make your eyes the focal point, the most crucial aspect is consistency and a smooth, flawless application. So, there's no need to feel restricted by conventional steps - do what suits you and your comfort level.
