What about the order everything goes on(...like 1.eyeliner 2. shadows) How much should be applied of all the products. what covers big deeply lined dark circles? I'm a stay at home mom who usually gets by with minimal make up during the day(sometimes none) I need help...Make-up for dummies.What's the right way to apply eye make-up...Is it mascara then curler or vice-versa?
This is how I do it.
1) lotion
2cover stick/concealer(this gets rid of the circles)
3)powder
4)blush
5)eye shadow
6)eye liner
7)curl lashes
8)mascaraWhat's the right way to apply eye make-up...Is it mascara then curler or vice-versa?
Curler first then mascara. Use the curler on the ends of the lashes instead of the whole lashes for a curlier look. The reason you don't put on the mascara first is that if it dries, it can look clumpy and gross, and it is (I have heard) bad for the lashes too, it can bend them and make them look gross.
Think of it this way: do you brush hair before or after hairspray? If you brush it after hairspray, it usually looks helmetlike and kind of weird looking. You style it first, then spray it to keep it looking the same!
From what I read this is what I got...
1. Foundation, Concealer, or Powder (this helps with catching eyeshadow powder that fall onto your check, making clean up easier).
2. Eyebrow...if you need too.
3. Eyeshadow
4. Eyeliner
5. Mascara (and use the curler first, then mascara).
6. Blush
7. Lipstick or Lip Gloss
If you still need help you can contact a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant in your area. You will get a free facial and makeover, the best part is that you are taught how to apply everything. It's fun to do.
1st address the circles under your eyes using a concealer. You can then go over it with a pressed powder to even skin tone. Concealer can be used for other blimishes or dark spots. Then comes the eye shadow. How much and which colors will depend on personal preference and skin tone. After shadow is applied you can then curl lashes. After that you can apply mascara. I save eyeliner for last.
If you're not all that familiar with applying make up or if your just not comfortable, I recommend maybe hosting a Mary Kay (or something similar) party where you can have someone show you how to apply as well as play with different colors and products. If the party is not your thing try a nice department store that offers make up tips and application.
Curler than mascara. Because if the mascara dries then you curl, your eyelashes will look clumpy and gross and imagine the mess your gunna have to clean up on the curler. I use a curles and water-proof mascara so the curl doesnt straighten.
curler first then mascara..
if u wear mascara first.. then curl it.. it'll snap your lashes cos the mascara will harden your lash..
There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known.

If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions:
Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water %26amp; stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath %26amp; let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K %26amp; Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.

curler first, then mascara if you dont want your clumpy eyelashes to get caught onto the curler making some or a whole chunk (base on experience) of your eyelashes to be taken off :[ I go by shadow, eyeliner, (curler if needed, at the end of my eyelashes working the way in to the middle) then mascara :]
by the skin care book we use in esthetics school it goes shadow, eyeliner, then curler, then mascara....if you curl your lashes after applying mascara that can cause a lot of damage to your lashes...you want to make sure that you apply your makeup probably in as natural a way as possible, remember you are only trying to enhance your features. to cover dark circles on eyes, i usually use a dot of concealer under each eye, and a concealer brush to blend it in. you will do great. as long as you keep it simple you will do great. if you want tips you should watch carmendy on what not to wear and the 5 minute face...she is really simple, and yet beautiful...just like you will be. its great for mom's with little time.
Most girls have their moms teach them how to do makeup, but I never did so I went by guess and check. But what I do (and have done for a while) is this....
1. if you're doing more than eye makeup (like coverup), wait until after eyes are done, so if you get mascara on your skin, you don't wipe off your concealer.
2. apply the mascara first.
3. If you separate your eyelashes, do that next.
4. Curl after you apply mascara. They curl better when there's fresh mascara on the lashes.
5. Apply your eyeliner.
6. If you use eyeshadow, apply that next.
7. Continue on to anything else.
Curler then mascara :)
Great trick though, lemme tell ya!
Take a hairdryer to your curler for 30 seconds, then right to yoru eyelashes for 15 seconds. Apply the mascara as soon as you take the curler off. You wouldnt believe the difference it makes!
And to top it all off? Once the mascara is dried, apply it to the very tips of your lashes. This gives it an overall dramatic look.
:)
Hope this helps ya sweety! Lemme know if it works :)
