probably putting on the eyeshadow, i love blending colors together & coming up with awesome combos!
Hmmmm… foundation! Getting my skin to look flawless is great 😉

I love contouring my face. I feel like it completes the look!
Eye makeup! It’s fun to play with eye shadows, eye liner and mascara. 🙂
applying false lashes. They make all the difference; I feel more glamorous.
I love applying eyeshadows!
I love doing my eyebrows : ) They are the one really nice feature of my face, and they look fabulous after they have been brushed and lightly filled in.
Ooh, that’s a difficult one! I love it all but okay… I really enjoy bronzer, blush, contouring and highlighting my face. It really pulls my whole look together.
I loooove doing my eyes. All the colors and blending and stuff. So fun
I’m actually a blush fiend so my favourite part is gliding my brush across my cheek with color! Then finish up with highlighter 🙂
Definitely lips as well!
It used to be eyes, and sometimes, it is still my favourite part – especially if I’m trying a new eye product!
But I ALWAYS look forward to doing BLUSH! (NARS blushes to be exact, hehe)
I just love the way it just brightens/livens up your complexion; bringing the look altogether. 🙂
The eyeshadow…
lately its been coming up with eye looks for thanksgiving and christmas eve!
Itis the easiest for me too, the lip stick, very dark red.
I love the effect after I put on concealer but I have more fun applying my lipstick 🙂
Powder. It’s the only face product I wear, and when I brush it over my face, it’s like *maaaagic*
The eyes. I love how the make-up you wear on and around the eyes can totally tranform you and give you an alter ego.
I actually love 2 moments: when I put my new foundation on (Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions), as it gives a very beautiful finish to my skin, without looking heavy; and when I put the mascara on… it makes a such difference!
Trying out new colors and different combos 😀 ,
I never plan when it comes it colors
My fav part is using my new MAC Foundation, MAC pressed powder and MAC Fix +….I’m a new MAC Fan :]
Putting on my lipstick or lipgloss…
It’s always the Finishing Touch 🙂
I’m fan of eyeshadows!
Applying lipstick. It’s just so glamorous to me. Every single time.
EYEBROWS! i’ll spend half an hour on them if i have to get them perfect, but i’ve knocked the time down to like a minute per brow now. i’ll spend forever highlighting and plucking them though…
Favorite but also least favorite: eyeshadow. Because sometimes I amaze myself with how good my eyeshadow looks turn out, but sometimes I look like I’ve just been punched and have to start all over.
Eye shadow for sure.
Agreed! My favourite lip combo at the moment is MAC’s Rebel lipstick applied lightly, with clear lipgloss on top.
Definitely my eyes there are so many color combos you can come up with.
I love the eyeshadow part. I’ve discovered eyeshadows that work (Dior, Clarins, Lancome) 2 years ago, and it’s now the reason why I have no problem getting up in the morning. I look forward to it, that’s why I don’t lay in bed forever anymore ! ☺
Putting on my foundation and watching all the ‘badness’ disapear 😉
I enjoy blush or foundation. I love foundation when all the imperfections are covered up and I have a clear palette
I like doing my eyes the most It brings out the creative side in me
Highlighting and Contouring
That’s easy – my eyes! I love coming up with different shadow looks every day.
I love doing some subtle contouring.
Eye hands down
Definitely foundation application. I love creating a blank canvas, and awaiting the anticipation of putting eyeshadow, blush and lipgloss on afterwards. I believe beautiful, even skin is the most important feature of makeup application.
Foundation for sure…I love watching my usually splotchy face transform into an smooth, even canvas.
My favorite part is applying my blush. It really makes a huge difference for me. It gives life to my face.
It depends. I love doing my eyes but my lips have been my favorite focus lately. I love coming up with lip combos and experimenting with new colors.
When I’m all done with everything,I check in the mirror and smile.
That’s the best part n__n
Haha I loved your reply! 😉 x
Lipstick! I have very full, big lips, and I feel my look is never complete or “done” until then. It’s amazing what a slash of bright red lip color will do for your confidence!!
My favorite part of my makeup routine is applying eyeshadow. Over the years, I have bought diverse eyeshadow colors, which allow me to create different looks.
Putting on mascara. Big lashes always!
Foundation 1st – to see how you can look with almost perfect skin and then the whole cheek piece – contour, blush, highlight 🙂
Foundation – love seeing my face transform into a flawless one!
Bronzer/Contouring/Blush – What? I have cheekbones?! YAY!
Putting on blush…
filling in my brows with browpowder!
Eyeshadow for sure.
Mascara. There’s such a dramatic before and after, it just makes me giggle and preen every time!
when my look is finished, picking out the perfect lip color!!
foundation and blush!
Unfortunately during the workweek I don’t really look forward to any part of my routine…just get it on and get out the door!
On weekends though, I love just about every part…I could spend over an hour just taking my time and having a little more fun with colors. It can be a relaxing process when I’m not in a hurry and stressed about what’s to come that day.
blush & highlighter!
deciding on my eye look for the day! i have 4 pro palettes worth of MAC eyeshadows and i never go anywhere without eye makeup on. So I love deciding what color-base-shadow-liner combinations to wear each day.
Applying lipstick is my absolute favourite. I always do this as the very last step and I adore how it just pulls the whole look together and looks so polished. I think the act itself, especially with a gorgeous lipstick or beautiful or iconic case is just a bit of everyday glamour.
Applying blush is a close second, I love how it just brightens and lifts my whole face.
my favorite part is doing the bronzer and highlighting 🙂
I love the effect my face makeup gives me! Takes me from a zombie to human being!
Eye makeup is always fun too.
Curling my eyelashes. i am pleased with how they look after curling and how much better my eyes look even before eyeshadow application. But second fave is applying the shadows.
the end with finishing powder blush and fix +…feels great!
I love putting on lipgloss 🙂
Definitely eye makeup~!
Foundation for sure. Wouldn’t go anywhere without it.
For me, it’s all about deciding which lipstick and/or gloss to wear. The rest of my makeup is based on whatever I choose.
Deciding which eyeshadows I’m going to use 🙂
trying new mac products
Applying and blending eyeshadows.
sculpting my eyebrows.
mascara!
it ties the whole look together!
Putting on my MSF Natural, it’s soo addictive. Contouring/blush close second!
My eyes, for sure! I do the rest of my face based on what type of eye makeup I do, but I have the most fun with my eyes and get the most artistic with them 🙂
Putting the finishing touches on a new look..
Blush because it always make me look wide awake, even if I’m not!
It used to be coming up with eyeshadow combinations (which I still very much enjoy) but now it’s picking/matching the right blush, and applying it. It forces me to smile and that brightens my day!
My lipcolor, because I hate doing my foundation because I have to use so much to cover redness. Eyemakeup is really fun, but I dislike the fallout, so I sometimes just wear mascara. I love doing my lipstick the best, because it is fun.
Blush! I love adding color to my super pale skin.
stress-relief: concealing/foundation
ahhh, that’s better: curler/mascara
fun: LIPSTICK-GLOSS!!!
It used to be eyeshadow, but lately I’ve been wearing cat eye liner withh bold lips, so now it’s the lipstick part!!
Deciding what eyeshadow combo to wear!
Being done! lol j/k 😉 Mascara, so I look like I actually have lashes!
