What part of your makeup routine is most enjoyable? Share!
Part of me wants to say removing it, just because I LOVE the feel of being totally clean, ha! I love eyeliner, because it always brings everything together.

Eyeshadow. It’s so fun!
My favorite is choosing between a gloss day or a lipstick day !
I think eyeshadow! So many options & color combos you can do!
The cheeks…blush/bronzer/highlighter adds so much to the dimension of your face!
I would have to say mascara! My eyes always go from ‘booooring!’ or ‘sleepyyyy’ to ‘awake!’ ‘lively!’ after two coats of mascara. LOL
Mine would usually depend, there are times its the cheeks or the lips or the lashes
I like just sitting in front of my huge stash, and thinking about what look I want to go for that day….so many choices! I love eyeshadow as far application is concerned it sooo fun
I really enjoy doing eyeshadow. I just love to blend and use different eyeshadow combinations and techniques. Plus I love my big brown eyes.
lips!
I like buffing in my foundation for a flawless finish. Weirdd but I just feel so awake and fresh after I do that so I love it!
Picking out colours for my eyes and lips. 🙂
When I apply my eyeshadows and eyeliner , I find my eyes completely transformed, very sexy hahahah
And also applying my blush and my mineralized skinfinish by candlelight, it just gives me some nice glow to my face, just love it!
I love contouring & blush because it adds color to my otherwise pale skin. I also find it therapeutic when I remove my make up at the end of the night, lol!
blusher, its my favourite product and then my mac By Candlelight highlighter that goes with every single blusher i have perfectly.
lipstick/gloss– it’s always the last thing I do so it has the finishing touch moment
Mascara! It makes such a difference!
Applying eyeshadow. It’s such a huge difference!!Just love to choose the colors and blend them, like a canvas!
Lipstick or gloss. It’s the last part of my makeup and it just completes the look and puts everything together 🙂
definately mascara! it completes every single look and makes the eyes so much more beautiful =)
While I love all aspects I would say mascara is the most exciting. While I never really change this piece of it I think its what makes the biggest difference between looking blah and looking beautiful!
I love putting on that last touch, the lipstick! When I finish applying some shade of crimson red I feel ready for anything.
The “playing with eyeshadow” part…times when I don’t have to worry about looking work appropriate or friends appropriate or family get together appropriate and I can just put on whatever shades I like and see what evolves (some of these looks never see the light of day but others do become looks for those occasions listed above!) In terms of every-day makeup, I think it’s probably applying blush because that is when the whole look seems to come together and look finished (because I’ve very pale, I look a bit corpse-like til I put on blush or a blush toned highlight).
Put the eye shadows on.
I think eyeshadow and taking everything off! 😀
I also like doing my lips 🙂
I have to agree about eyeliner and mascara. They really pull the look together! A lot of times I’ll put some colors together, think “This looks ridiculous,” but then I’ll add eyeliner and mascara and suddenly love it!
eyeshadow! i do my eyes every. single. day. choosing color combos and blending are so much fun and they remind me of painting, which i haven’t done in a few years.
I would have to say lip gloss!!! It’s like the icing on the cake 🙂
bahahaha, my favorite part is removing it too!
The eye makeup part.
powder and blush! makes me feel retro and romantic
primer, concealer, foundation
i love seeing my face getting cleared up
The part when I finish applying lipstick/lipgloss (the last thing I put on), stand back from the mirror, smile,look at my reflection and think ‘Damn, I look good’ 🙂
For right now, applying eyeshadow is the most enjoyable part of my makeup routine because I have different eyeshadow colors that I can use to create different looks. Now if I had a vanity table where I could sit and apply my makeup, then I would say that applying my makeup at my vanity table would be the most enjoyable. But unfortunately, I do not have one because I do not have any room for one at the moment.
Question for those of you who do not have vanity tables, do you ever get tired of standing while applying your makeup? I find that I do because sometimes I take a long time applying my makeup.
I sit at my kitchen table to do my makeup…I hate to stand and it has the best lighting in my house.
I love doing my foundation and blush because I really see my face transforming before my very eyes (but still look quite natural).
Eyebrows because it’s the easiest.
I’d have to agree with removing it. Other than that, foundation, because it sets the stage for everything else.
thinking up what look Im going to do.
Blush! (it always brings everything together)
Applying eyeshadow is the most enjoyable.
Lips, definitely lips !! 🙂
I like picking out what I’m going to wear and as far as actually applying makeup I like doing my lips the best. Lips are easy and fun 😀
Blush/highlighter. Brings the whole look together for me!
Cheeeeks!
eyes and blush 🙂
definitely eyes. they are so fun to work with.. play up and get creative with!
OMG, ditto, removing makeup also my favorite! I’m a makeup addict, but to be honest, I love when my face feels weightless…
I love curling my lashes and applying mascara because it makes my eyes go from ‘mwoah’ to ‘WOW!’:)
I love doing my ckeeks; blush, highlight, contour 🙂 <3
I also like doing my foundation/concealer/powder and filling in my eyebrows :))
Skin. I just love the feeling of having a clean canvas to work on, haha.
Eye shadow. So creative, so fun. It’s also the most time consuming… :/
I like doing my eyes but my favorite is trying to perfect my skin.
Actually, the whole process of putting on makeup because its time I take out of soon to be stressful day to spend with myself and doing something that just for me.
Lately my favorite thing has been applying my highligher – MAC Cream Color Base in Pearl with my 190 foundation brush! A notable second would be concealer – love watching those spots disappear. My favorite is my Bobbi Brown creamy concealer applied with a fluffy brush 🙂
Putting on my fake eyelashes! It’s the final step to my eye makeup routine and it just pulls it all together & makes it complete!
