I have found that my makeup application goes best when I follow this routine. I apply my moisturizer on a still damp face after cleansing (no painting a dirty canvas ladies!) Then while moisturizer and face are still damp I apply my foundation and concealer. The moisture from the moisturizer helps my makeup to blend smoothly without clumping in lines, creases, or large pores. An added benefit is that I can apply my makeup without pulling or dragging my skin (less wrinkles in coming years!) Next, I allow my foundation/concealer to "set" before I applying any powder-based makeup. Finally I set my whole look with either translucent or bronzing powder. As a result, I get dewy, fresh, sun-kissed, natural-looking painlessly applied makeup!
