When Do You Put Your Makeup On?

I was putting my makeup on this morning and wondered, do most women put their makeup on before styling their hair or after? Do they put it on in a specific order? Do they put it on sitting down or standing in the bathroom? And. . . do you use a variety of eye colors or do you do the same 'look' everyday? For me: I style my hair first. I put foundation, blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara.... then I eat a piece of toast and banana, then put on my lipstick, (lipliner first) I put my makeup on standing at the bathroom sink. I use colors that complement my clothing colors. How about you?

I put my make up first. I start with foundation, loose powder, eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. I don't like blusher at all. I will put on my lipgloss, lipliner and lipstick. Then I will style my hair and dress up. I love eyeshadow and lipstick very much that I keep buying whenever I go to shopping mall. I have tonnes of it! I eat my breakfast at my office. So again, before starting my work, I will touch up first.

Lets see (*tries hard to do a mental walk through of routine*) I shower. I then do my makeup: foundation, eyeshadow, mascara and then blush. Next I style my hair. I run and eat breakfast and then come back..brush my teeth and put on lipstick. Then I get dressed.

Oops. I do my makeup and hairstyling in front of the bathroom mirror. As for colors of makeup, I wear the same pretty much every day. On a rare occassion I will switch colors of eyeshadow.

I usually put my makeup on after I eat breakfast, and of course, after I washed my face. Before I mess with my hair, I'll sit down and put whatever makeup I'm wearing that day, on my face. I don't use many colors except on Sundays when I see more people. Then I try to brighten it up a bit. : )

Nope I don;t put on make up. If I do it is just facial pressed powder and a lipstick. I don't put foundation, mascara and eyeliner. The only time I will put eyeshadow and a bit of blush is when there's social event like going for a proper dinner. Other days its just moisturizer on my face and off I go.

I put my makeup on usually in the morning after taking a bath.. I dry my hair halfway damp first.. then get dressed.. then apply my makeup then finish drying my hair...

If I were to style my hair and wear make-up (I do neither) I would put the make-up on after the hair was taken care of. I would likely put it on while standing up in front of the bathroom mirror - thusly leaning over the sink and getting my clothing all wet at the belly... ;)
