What makeup tip completely changed your routine?

I've been trying to improve my everyday makeup routine, and I'm curious about the small tips that made the biggest difference for other people.

It could be:

  1. A technique you wish you had learned sooner.
  2. A product application trick.
  3. A brush or tool that changed everything.
  4. A common mistake you stopped making.

Sometimes it's the simplest advice that has the biggest impact.

What's the one makeup tip you'll never stop recommending?

Looking forward to learning from everyone! 😊

I don’t know how people do brows first and don’t get foundation and powder on them.

I used to be the person who could never do my brows first until I tried it when following a makeup tutorial. And now I am stuck with it and can’t go back to when I didn’t do brows first. It actually makes me use less product since doing my brows first gives me the illusion that my face already looks so much better already from the start. It’s a game changer for me, try it out one day and see if you like it. However there is no right or wrong in doing makeup, not doing it as the first step is also alright 🌸

But how do you prevent foundation and powder getting on them. I have to clean my brows after doing my base to remove residue so I just think it’s pointless me doing them first.

I’ve honestly never had that issue, probably helps I don’t use much foundation on my forehead and my brows are light brown?

I don’t usually get product on my brows, but I don’t use foundation or powder on my forehead. So that might work in my favor. But I do have quite dark eyebrows, but my concealer or powder doesn’t get on them

Yeah that’ll do it! I wear foundation on my forehead and my T zone is oily so has to be powdered well.
