It means about an hour to get ready… fully prepped skin, primer, foundation, powder, blush, eyeshadow, lipstick, eyeliner.
Face primer, eye primer, foundation, undereye corrector, concealer, powder, blush, full eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, contour, highlight, and brows. My lips don’t like lipstick – they stay so dry!
A complete makeup look to me personally means: primer, foundation or bb cream, concealer (if needed), blush, 2-3 eyeshadows, brow bone highlighter, eyeliner, mascara, and undereye concealer (always needed), and finish it all off with powder. If I’m looking particularly pale, I might dust on some bronzer; or dull, some highlighter.
Foundation, BB cream or both mixed, eyeshadow primer, brows, at least 3 eyeshadows, eyeliner(s), contour powder, cheek products (blush, usually highlighter), curl lashes, mascara, lipliner, lipstick and/or gloss, concealer (one for undereye, one for everything else) and finishing powder.
Primer, foundation, concealer, contour, bronzer, highlight, brows, eyeshadow and/or eyeliner, mascara, lip colour, setting powder. I think false lashes are the cherry on top and really transforms any eye look, but I rarely wear them because I hate the feeling!
Face primer over well moisturised skin, eye primer… foundation, concealer, setting spray then once that’s dry, setting powder… multiple eyeshadows, at least two eyeliners, mascara, brows done… blush, highlighter, maybe bronzer or contour if I can be bothered (not often, TBH)… and lipstick!
Though I can do a BB cream, concealer, 1 eyeshadow, mascara and gloss and it looks pretty good after 5 minutes!

you pretty much covered it all!
For me its: foundation, powder, blush & bronzer or blush & highlighter or bronzer & highlighter, brow powder and/or Anastasia pomade, some concealer, mascara and a little bit of eye pencil (I usually just tightline), lipstick & lipliner.
Filled in and sculpted brows, flawless foundation and concealer, finishing powder, a warm brown crease color, natural lashes with mascara, nude liner on the lower lash line, blush, highligther and a pop of color on the lips.
I’ve yet to master eyeshadow and eyeliner so a complete look for me is foundation/tinted moisturizer, concealer, groomed brows, lots of mascara, blush and lip color. I never fully like my face with the full trifecta — eyeshadow, blush, AND lipstick.
I almost always wear a full face of makeup if I am going to wear one at all because of my bad skin, so a complete look for me would be, at a bare minimum:
Base: Primer, concealer, foundation and setting powder is my typical routine. On a very lazy or a hot day tinted moisturizer and powder foundation will do.
Cheeks: Blush is enough on most days but I usually add bronzer, and highlight too if the blush isn’t luminous
Brows: Combed and tweezed with brow wax or pencil at a minimum, preferably combined with a setting gel (tinted or otherwise)
Eyes: Primer, eyeliner and mascara at a minimum.
Lips: A balm or a gloss can complete a look for me but I am trying to get comfier with actual lipstick too!
moisturized skin, primed, foundation with concealer under the eyes, ALWAYS eyeshadow, blush, eyebrows & highlight. I do this every single day. But the number one thing for me is my eyebrows because I have such tiny ones!
Well, it varies depending on the look I’m going for, of course. Typically for me: Skincare, face primer, eyeshadow primer, foundation/BB cream, powder, and spot and undereye concealer if needed. Light contouring under cheekbones, around chin, and on the sides of my nose. Blush, highlighter, full eye look, brows, and lip liner and color.
CC Cream (or mineral powder foundation), concealer, eyeshadow base, eye shadow (2 or 3 at most), liner, blush, setting powder (Hourglass Ambient Light, Nars or Bourjois Rice Powder most of the time), lipstick and lately I’ve even been doing MASCARA! Waddaya think of THAT?
Foundation (over primer), blush or highlight, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick or pigmented gloss.
primer,concealer, base (pwdr or foundation), e/s,e/l , blush, sometimes bronzer and contour, lipstick/gloss, mascara, highlighter !!!
though usually I go for a natural look with less:)
For me its foundation, powder and/or setting spray, blush, highlighter but i can leave concealer. Then for eyes it’s eyeshadow primer, 3 eyeshadows, mascara and maybe liquid eyeliner if the look needs it, however if i am going all out I will definitely want both liquid and kohl eyeliner and false lashes as well. For lips I always want a gloss or a lipstick depending on the look I am going for.
primer, foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer for contouring, highlighter, powder, eye shadow base, eye shadow, liner, brows, mascara, lipstick.
Prep the skin with primer (after skincare), foundation, concealer, setting powder, blush, highlight and/or bronzer and/or contour depending on the look or season, some form of lip product (usually lip pencil and a matte or demi-matte lipstick), eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, brows.
Primer, sometimes two different ones, one to fill in pores in the areas that may be needing that, and one for all over use. Lip balm, foundation, under eye corrector and concealer, light setting powder, contour, blush, highlighter (if I remember I will use a BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector, under the powder) and lightly bronze. Spray with setting spray. Eye primer, fill in brows and use gel to set, eyeshadow, line lid, tightline, waterline, curl lashes and apply mascara, lip liner and usually lipstick, sometimes a gloss. Done!
What I wear every day!
1. Daily moisturizer with SPF
2. Primer
3. Foundation
4. Setting powder
5. Blush
6. Lipstick
7. Eye brow detail
8. 3 eye shadow colours – browbone, base darker colour and lighter colour (sometimes another one)
9. Mascara
it depends on where i am going and what i am doing.
errands/daytime normal look – foundtion, powder, a little blush, eyebrows filled in, a base eyeshadow, a little grey or neutral color to define crease, mascara, lipstick.
funeral/conservative formal – prep skin, concealer, foundation, contouring, blush, eye primer, brows filled in, mac paint in base neutral, an ivory shadow lashes to brow, grey or neutral crease, a little dab of gold or silver in the inner corners, blacktrack fluidline signature cateye (subtle though), mascara, lipliner, lipstick, fix plus.
work/ date/ going out (im a bartender)… anything goes. prep skin, concealer, foundation, contouring, highlighting, prep eye, anything from painting my face like david bowie to putting gems on, bright lips, black lipstick, red eyeliner… whatever i can think up.
i do leave the house often with no makeup on. i dont think im ugly without it, i just love makeup and the way i can transform myself, especially at work when i have no rules about how i need to do my makeup.
I think you’ve coverd this, but here I go, anyway.
Primer over a moistured skin, with SPF after moisturizer and before primer. eyelid primer, a lot of eyeshadows, foundation, corrector, concealer, groomed brows, bare spots filled in, eyeliner and/or tightlining, mascara, blush, highlighter, lipliner and lipstick and/or gloss.
Now I wonder if I missed something, oh, yes, setting powder, maybe finishinpowder and some kind of setting spray.
And, for parties or nights out, false lashes.
foundation, concealer, contour, bronzer, highlight, brows, eyeshadow eyeliner, mascara, lip colour ,lipsticks I use only these. I think it is enough otherwise face will look over with makeup
