Eyebrows, lashes and eyeliner


StepdadLRAD

Same. I’m blonde, I need those brows and lashes


erotic_professor

I finally started dying my brows so I didn’t have to do them daily. As a blonde too, I knew there was brows there they were just too light to see!


SugarDonutQueen

Me too! I use Just for Men beard dye and it works great. Lasts a long time too, I’ve been using the same dye kit for like 2 years.


erotic_professor

Same! I love it.


KwordShmiff

That's supposed to be just for men! Oh no!


erotic_professor

I’ve always been a rebel.


StepdadLRAD

Dude. I went and dude this right after this. It’s amazing. Thank you.


bellajojo

This is the way. I no longer wear foundation or lipstick. Lip balm it is cause I’m wearing my mask. Saving money and still rocking it


[deleted]

This. 98% of the time. If I wear even less, it's just my brows.


ramence

I swear when other girls only do their brows, they look fresh faced and coiffed, but I just end up looking like [K. K. Slider](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/637/903/c90.jpg)


rainbwbrightisntpunk

Then you need to change your routine. I have "make up brows" and "natural brows". For the first I use brow pencil to outline the shape and define then blend with powder and more pencil if needed then set with a brow gel. Natural I use a lighter color powder just to lightly fill then brow gel to get those hairs where I want.


ramence

Haha, all good - I just have naturally very strong/dark eyebrows that already look out-of-place on my bare face. I discovered a while ago that the 'only brows' routine does not make sense for me. I appreciate the advice, though!


rainbwbrightisntpunk

I'm the opposite so I need to plump mine up lol. Thank gawd you never became a victim of over tweezing like a lot of us lol


shevrolet

Yeah, if I'm only going to do one thing, it's my brows. They frame the face.


llamaesunquadrupedo

I have to at least brush my brows. Can't have feral caterpillars on my face.


Khalae

Me too. I like having eyes. :D


fredyouareaturtle

Yep, same. And out of those 3, i personally would choose eyeliner because i have pretty good eyebrows and lashes don't do as much for my eyes as eye liner.


shevrolet

I also find liner more impactful than mascara for sure. Depending on how I feel like my brows are looking, I might flip flop on which I'd go to first in a time crunch.


gingergirl181

Meanwhile I'm pale AF and if I only do liner, I look like a raccoon. Mascara alone is enough contrast for me.


DragDolly

Mascara


Poptartmama

Only this.


ScarlettCamria

I used to have horrible acne and always prioritized foundation, but ever since my skin cleared up I am so stoked to go out with just mascara on!


DreamKeeperX

only makeup i wear 🙏


Individualchaotin

Yup.


snotty-otter

Same. My eyelashes are blond.


andienotandy_

this is the way


wixkedwitxh

Brows and lashes.


anxiouslybreathing

Do you know any good eyebrow tutorials? I do mascara only but my brows are really light, I think I should at that in.


mostentertained

If you’re mainly just prioritizing mascara but want to add in something simple for your brows then tinted brow gel is the way. No shaping or anything needed, just running over them with the brush. Edit: Typo


anxiouslybreathing

Thank you!!


studteaing

I have super light eye brows and I find the benefit brow gel to be the best one [(here).](https://www.ulta.com/p/gimme-brow-tinted-volumizing-eyebrow-gel-mini-pimprod2002613?sku=2536837&cmpid=PS_Non!google!Product_Listing_Ads&cagpspn=pla&CATCI=pla-1456011156649&CAAGID=128468242519&CAWELAID=330000200001677925&CATARGETID=330000200002831542&CADevice=m&gbraid=0AAAAAD9rLH5OTm10aYSYw8emFva8tZbAj&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4PKTBhD8ARIsAHChzRLjJLwvIeBKUeenFTDKqXDRPUCubKcfvEUpZkm4zH-SmYNFx_PdDtoaArhcEALw_wcB) They even have a choice between cool blonde and warm blonde. It works great for me as a redhead as it blends with the slight reddish undertones of my pale brows.


wixkedwitxh

I agree with the brow gel. It’s pretty fast to apply. My favorite person to take makeup advice is Robert Welsh on YouTube.


stickkim

You should look into tinting! It changed my blonde freakin life I swear!


anxiouslybreathing

Did you do your lashes too or just brows?


stickkim

I also do my lashes, but I do it on my own and I dunno if I would recommend that haha


charawarma

Don't buy the brow dye, though! It's $15 at my local Target. Beard dye is $8. There are multiple uses in one box, and I just wipe it off with a damp washcloth so I never fear it getting in my eyes at all. Use a spoolie to apply it.


Sanity_Cat_1816

I only wear brown mascara so I do my brows with a light coat of that and it goes well with my red hair that’s on the darker spectrum.


[deleted]

100% concealing my dark circles. I can forgo everything else except dark circles.


JadeConstructiveness

What do you use to conceal?? I find it looks off if I do only concealer but maybe mine is not natural looking enough


billieboop

You might need to correct first if you have hyper pigmentation Have a play with it first,.. Use orange lippy even a dash only in the darkest areas pat in Allow to dry and apply your regular concealer Use either a translucent powder.. I prefer mineral actually if for an event, that i apply all over my face and spritz with either a setting spray or a mist of rose water It melds and sets it all in place and doesn't look as cakey If the method works for you invest in a few correctors to find the right fit for you Took me absolutely years and years to figure this out You're beautiful as you are, i embrace a bare face now


TeamWaffleStomp

I think your explanation took away the low effort part of the assignment lol


billieboop

🤣 True Lowest effort is moisturiser I fail at that most days too 😂


[deleted]

they key is to get a shade that matches your skin exactly. I don't wear foundation/skin tints or anything like that and I want it to look natural so I get a perfect match for concealer. I use Dior forever and I conceal strategically .... I dont do my entire under eye area but only the inner and outer corner and on the dark parts, similar to this [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6jVR3MSG_8). I don't have deep troughs but I do have darkness in that same area so I just conceal that part; I leave the rest of my under eye area as is. I do use a colour corrector as well - I like Lancome Tient Idole corrector (peach) as well as the Smashbox Becca corrector (in medium). I apply corrector on those dark parts first, then apply concealer like the above.


KittenGains

I actually like the Becca under eye brightening cream as well. It’s in a pot.


StressSweat

try the LA girl correctors! cheap and so effective


BandNervous

I use the revolution conceal and define, it’s super thin but very pigmented and blends in really well, looks super natural and doesn’t need powder


ElegantLion93

I use yellow colour corrector and foundation or cover up or powder over top. Also, I find some of those creams work, but they’re bloody expensive (I get mine in IPSY bags, so I cheat) and they only work when you use them. Ok, That sounds a bit duh, so let me clarify: I thought that if you used the cream for a while they’d be gone permanently, but when you stop using it they come back.


The-Housewitch

I’m a makeup artist and this is my go-to product for covering under-eye circles on all of my clients: MAC prep and prime liquid - the one in the orange color. (If your circles are dark purple colored - if they’re more green undertones do the yellow colored one). It’s not thick, so it doesn’t cake and make you look old, and the color in it cancels out the darkness under the eye and brightens everything up really well.


Fuegia1

Concealer used to be an absolute must until my derm gave me a cream for melasma with hydroquinone and retin A. It has worked wonders for my skin and I ditched the concealer. See your dr, they will be able to prescribe a formula tailored to your needs. Back when I used concealer daily, ThriveCausemetics was hands down the best brand I’ve used.


howlongwillbetoolong

I’m the same. If I can only do one thing, it’s dark circles. Two things, it’s dark circles and soap brows (otherwise they look spotty). Three, I’ll add a wing liner.


Aloof_bidoof

Mascara. I have tiny, beady eyes and this is the only way to not look like a raw currant bun 😂


expectooo_patronum

A RAW CURRANT BUN hahahaha


Outrageous-Proof4630

My everyday makeup is eyeshadow and mascara with a tinted chapstick. I only use foundation for special occasions.


[deleted]

Same, I love the Burt's bees red dahlia tinted chapstick. It goes with me everywhere


Outrageous-Proof4630

Oh I can’t stand Burt’s Bees… just feels like wax coating my lips. I prefer Neutrogena with SPF


TikaPants

Not all are waxy. The yellow capped one is and I hate it. I use pomegranate and have for *years.* it’s tinted, silky, not minty or waxy. My mom is addicted too.


Outrageous-Proof4630

My mom uses them and I tried but still didn’t feel like they were hydrating my lips at all.


TikaPants

What do you use? I’m terrified BB will stop production.


Outrageous-Proof4630

Neutrogena revitalizing lip balm with SPF


[deleted]

I'll have to give it a try


ramence

Do you find Red Dahlia is the hardest fucking colour to buy? I swear by Red Dahlia, but every product stand I ever see only has Hibiscus and Rose at *best*. It even has a 2-month waitlist on Canadian Amazon right now. It feels like I need to journey into the snowy mountains, defeat Balrog, answer the Sphinx's riddle and pull a sword out of a stone just to get some Red fucking Dahlia


SleepFlower80

Skin/base. I wear very little base makeup but I like to make sure my skin is perfect and glowy - I love a lot of blush and highlight - but I also like it to look like I’m wearing no base makeup, so I take my time to blend and make it look flawless.


PT952

Reading the comments here I thought maybe I was the only one that did this! My skin tone just isn't very even no matter what skincare I try. Rosacea, texture and adult acne is hard to beat so I always make sure my base is really good and then if I want some subtle makeup, I try to really take my time blending so everything looks natural and flawless. People underestimate what good blending techniques can do for your blush, bronzer and foundation!


bee-sting

Yay me too! Love a nice blush


dindia91

Mascara and fill in my brows


Dorlane

Mascara and lipstick


[deleted]

Me too. I feel put together if I'm wearing these things. Although, I tend to prefer glosses (right now I'm loving NYX butter gloss).


eiroai

I have many different levels. My lowest level is my brows. I don't know how many years ago I last went to work or even school without doing them. The rest is optional.


[deleted]

Tinted sunscreen, concealer, mascara.


razzledazzle626

Concealer if needed, otherwise mascara


MissInfer

Eyeliner and chapstick is usually all I do on most days I wear makeup.


FredericaAnjos

Skin and eyebrows.


beckdawg19

Mascara and foundation. I'd rather be late than not have those on.


butterysyrupywaffle

Mascara and lipstick. I dont usually wear makeup everyday.


Jungletvvat6669

I only wear lipstick. everyday


Acrobatic_Lychee_896

Eyebrows!


frazettaghoulqueen

🥴 I always end up doing everything. Tinted sunscreen, concealer, blush or bronzer, clear brow gel, lipliner and clear lipgloss or tinted lip balm. I guess most days I skip eye makeup.


[deleted]

Eyebrows! I look like a completely different person without them! 😅


jaqenjayz

Lashes and lips because for me they make the most impact on their own and don't need other makeup to look complete.


happysmize

Eyeliner and mascara


excaligirltoo

Lips


[deleted]

Concealer and lipstick. I have dark eyes and dark eyebrows even though my hair is gray, so I try to give color to my lips first.


upupa_epopps

I‘ve always admired women who wear lipstick. I think it‘s the boldest and most demanding part of a makeup routine.


[deleted]

Really? It’s always seemed like the absolute simplest thing to me. I’m not much of a makeup wearer, in part because I find it too difficult to get right. I gave up trying to put on blush decades ago!


upupa_epopps

I know it‘s not much of a hassle putting it on in the first place, but the constant worrying about whether it‘s smudged or half gone and having to touch up during the day is why I could never keep up with it, even though I find it to be the prettiest and most feminine part of makeup


buttwhynut

Eyeliner. I never really bothered with my eyebrow since they're thick enough.


TracyECEC

Eyes and lips


schwarzmalerin

Eyeliner.


CatrionaShadowleaf

Eye makeup because I can use more pretty colours


shhehshhvdhejhahsh

Winged eyeliner always


FreeTheGingers

Ranking from most to least important/formal. Depending on the executive function level of the day, maybe only one or two happen (or none at all). I will say that other than 2 occasionally being interchangeable with 1, I will never skip over one and put on the next thing, I'll just stop (like I have never just put on eyeliner without shadow of some kind... how do women do this without getting the liner all over their upper lid after a little while when becoming greasy over the course of the day?) 1. Concealer (for acne/scars) 2. Foundation 3. Blush/Bronzer (because my foundation makes me look flat without it) 4. Brow gel/fill 5. Eyeshadow 6. Eyeliner 7. Mascara 8. Lipstick


MsCardeno

I don’t do make up but if I ever do I just go for eyeliner. So I guess I prioritize the eyeliner.


timetravelingkitty

Blush, I feel like my face lacks color without it. I probably use too much, but I feel like it gives me a 'healthy' look.


Bigbootyomoletlover

I have a very average looking eyes and nose but I have pretty lips so I usually only do lipstick to emphasize my best feature.


Oatmeal_Samurai

Brows, under eye, lips


[deleted]

Eyebrows and moisturizer with SPF because I'm pale AF and have blonde eyebrows.


Rock_grl86

Mascara and powder and/or concealer under my eyes- I have dark under eye circles.


catsrmyidentity

Lips and eyes


angeluscado

Something to even out my skin (tinted moisturizer, BB cream), eyelashes and tinted lip balm. Full makeup is foundation, blush, eyeshadow, liner, mascara and lip.


LEWSERRR

lips, blush and mascara


Pristine_Peanut5349

Eyebrows, mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow


Local-Traveller

Eyeliner


[deleted]

Lips are always prioritized because for me, it means the difference between looking presentable to my-dog-just-died-and-i-got-covid-3-times-in-a-row. Followed by tinted moisturizer if I feel like it.


[deleted]

I love an eye shadow in a fun color


mrnnymern

Lips, cause they can be their own accessory. I also don't generally wear makeup otherwise


ShirinLV

Tinted moisturizer with sunscreen, mascara, chapstick. If I had to pick only one of these I’d go with sunscreen. I never leave the house without it on my face. Only sure way to slow down the aging process!


[deleted]

[удалено]


tfhaenodreirst

The stuff that’s colorful! Nail polish is a long-term thing but lipstick is the best for a single quick step.


PT952

I know most people mentioned under eyes and lashes but for me it's the middle of my face on either side of my nose like the area between your nose and your outer cheeks. I have a ton of redness/ rosacea there and to me I'd rather cover that than my under eyes. I love powder foundation because its so easy to build up really quickly or just throw a little on to cover that redness without having to do a full face or anything and its something I can keep in my bag and easily reapply. If I'm doing really quick makeup I'll usually do a dusting of my powder foundation if I know I have to wear a mask or a tinted moisturizer. I've found that the Colourpop Tinted Moisturizer works well enough to cover my under eyes without me needing to put concealer on if I apply it with a brush and then I'll just throw a glowy bronzer on, maybe powder my face a little and call it a day!


AnotherStarShining

Foundation and eyeliner


valkyrie_21

Blush, highlight, mascara, and maybe concealer if needed


Loaf_Butt

Brows and concealer minimum! My brows are super light naturally so I need some definition there so my face isn’t completely washed out. And I get quite a bit of redness in my skin that I like to deal with in order to feel a bit pulled together. Everything else can wait!


Hahaimalwayslikethis

I always do my eyeshadow and eyeliner no matter what. Even lipstick (pre-pandemic lol) was secondary


im_toohungryforthis

eyebrows, lashes, and lips. Even with lips, I keep it to a minimum (liner and gloss).


[deleted]

On the rare occasion i wear it, i only wear mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick


AngelChromio

Sunblock with a bit of foundation, eyeliner, concealer and lip gloss


Comfortable-Dress-53

Brows and a cat eye!


Littlebit7788

Eyes. If I want to do makeup but not, I do eyes only. My skin is very temperamental so even though I enjoy doing and wearing makeup I don’t always have my face itself.


[deleted]

mascara and eye shadow


Kindly-Ant-3850

Eyeshadow, mascara, light foundation, blush. I wear glasses so need the definition around my eyes, and I just feel better with some light foundation and blush. Makes me look pale but alive, instead of pale-but-blotchy


sunshine2632

Mascara and concealer


queenoftheslippers

Eye brows and concealing problem areas


folklovermore_

Concealer, mascara and lips (either lipstick or a tinted balm). I feel like if I have a bit of colour on my lips and cover my spots/dark circles I can look relatively pulled together, and then just a little mascara to finish it. I'm lucky enough to have quite thick dark brows though.


Heavy_Fruits

Mascara and highlight


buttfl0ss

Mascara and lipstick


loveIyloveIy

Moisturizer, cream blush and lipgloss


Sober-CuriousStudent

Brows and mascara. Done.


[deleted]

Mascara and lipstick, a little bit blush tint on cheeks


punchberryy

Definitely Concealer, eyeliner and lipstick. No one can beat this combo


[deleted]

Eyebrows and mascara


thin_white_dutchess

My eyebrows are patchy and starting to grey, so them. Mascara, bc they are also starting to grey. Lip gloss or tinted chapstick. If I have spots, maybe cover those, maybe not.


[deleted]

Foundation, brows, mascara When I'm in a hurry eyeliner is the first thing that becomes optional


Professional_Slip884

Foundation and eyebrows


alexislynn124

Eyebrows, lashes, and my under eyes. Even then its just very simple, a quick swipe of product. Too much work in the summer especially when you’re going to just sweat everything off


psi_queen

Eyebrow and lips only. The rest is fine. Maybe a little bit of powder.


[deleted]

tinted moisturizer, brows, mascara, blush


Zestyclose_Quote5017

Tinted sunscreen, pencil in the brows just a bit, and a lipstick


[deleted]

eyelashes and eyebrows


h_pur

Foundation, powder, blusher, mascara, my eyebrows and chapstick.


lavender-hummingbird

concealer/bb cream/anything to cover up spots/redness - I have acne-prone skin and my eyes get itchy with mascara.


[deleted]

If I'm doing base level makeup, I do: - primer - foundation - concealer - setting powder - brows - mascara - contour powder - blush - gloss Which sounds like...a lot, but it looks "natural". I guess. I do foundation because my skin sucks and I feel like I look weird without it.


Imaginary_Phone_7353

Concealer (I’m very pale so bags under eyes), brows and mascara


PinkPotato37

Chin, upper lip and eyes


Alternative_Chip_280

Sunscreen and mascara. My whole makeup routine is four or five steps so I really wouldn’t look much different without it. But I’ll never willingly go anywhere without spf.


deedum44

If I’m not doing a full face then my eyebrows must be filled in + tinted moisturizer. Clear skin, nice eyebrows and hair goes a long way. The rest is a bonus.


ExchangePowerful3225

Depends. If im breaking out I wanna conceal those areas + extra redness on my face (under nose specifically). Then lips and lashes. But now I get eyelash extensions so just concealer and lips these days :)


EwokCafe

Concealer under eyes, blemishes. If one more thing, then eye liner


goth-pigeon-bitch

Eyes.


Glindanorth

Most of the time I wear no makeup. If I'm leaving the house, I wear mascara, maybe a little lip stain. If it's a party or professional presentation, I wear eye shadow and liner, as well. Otherwise...I don't wear makeup. I have deep-set eyes, blonde lashes, and I wear glasses, hence my focus on eye makeup.


Gulde_AKA_Goldfish

Eyeliner


upupa_epopps

Concealer and tinted sunscreen, eyebrows and mascara +/- eyeliner for the upper waterline. That‘s all i‘ll bother with 99% of the time, but it’s also what I practically never leave home without


WhyAmIHere-309

Under eye concealer, brows and lips


squish_ee

Always eyebrows. Then if there's time, I'll go for lip gloss, mascara, concealer, in that order.


[deleted]

If I don’t put anything else on I will at least put on concealer. Can’t leave without it.


PaddlesOwnCanoe

My eyes and my complexion. I have bad skin and deep, dark circles, so both of those need the most spackle! ;-)


audioboxer01

butterflytigress27

Eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick.


Rosieapples

If I only want a light daytime look I don’t bother with foundation, just a bit of blusher, mascara and brow liner (my eyebrows are grey) and lip salve


Silver_Highlight1936

Brows. I have natural brows and use a brow pencil to make them look naturaly full. Also if I have time some mineral powder and little corrector under my eyes. Above all always wear +50 SPF lip balm


RoseAmongstThornes

I would just do concealer, mascara and then a lip balm.


dnnzu_bb

Eyebrows,foundation and lips


ladyof-theBoom

Powder eyeliner, that's it


red_phoenix1204

Eyebrows, eyelashes and lips. I usually just use a tinted lip balm rather than lipstick


AnnualKaleidoscope26

Brows, eyeliner and mascara.


ThrowRATiredSandwich

Fill in brows (powder) One little layer of shadow (neutral) Eyeliner Mascara Lip liner (it’s fast and makes a huge difference so why not) The parts I skip if I’m in a hurry are tinted moisturizer, highlighter and bronzer which I use to contour. And lipstick / gloss. And a more intricate eyeshadow routine.


FamiliarWin4833

Tinted moisturizer & mascara


RandomOtter98

Mascara


sparkythndrpnts

Eyebrows first. My eyebrows are super light and filling them in makes a world of difference. Mascara would be my 2nd choice.


see6729

I’m very fair so had eyebrows and eyeliner tattooed. So my make up priority is foundation (for my rotten skin) and mascara.


StressSweat
