What Order do you put on your makeup?

Well my mother never taught me these things and appearently I wasn't paying attention when she taught my sister... lol So I had to learn them on my own (books and the web) ... But I ended with a logical, gravity driven system (engineer thingy I think.. lol) I always had the problem if I put on eye shadow towards the end of the routine, some always ended dropping onto the mascara on my lashes and if I used mascara (self curling) before I put on eye liner then couldn't get over my eye lashes, which are longish, to do a good job of my eye liner. Now anything that happends to drop to the next level down can be cleaned up before hand. This is my routine..

Moisturizers

Foundation

Eyebrows (tint them so don't need much more than straightening)

Eye Shadow (3 colors blended)

Eye Liner (liquid, top and bottom)

Mascara

Blush

Powder (sometime, usually not)

Lipstick

So what's your? And if it's different from mine (and I assume it will be) how do you overcome the problem's I'm having? Thanks!!

Wish I didn't have to to wear as much as I do... But it's required... and I think it's a rule in the crossdressers handbook somewhere.... hehe Probably get kicked out of the club for a violation!!
All in all it seems that the top down at least for the eyes if pretty common. If I do it the otherway i end up with a mess. And haven't gotten the powder down just right.. Usually just skip it but maybe just need to practice some more.. No one has ever said anything so far!!

If you are wondering why I apply my e/s before foundation it is because I often get flakes from shimmery eyeshadow below my eyes or on cheeks. Applying foundation afterwards with sponge or brush wipes all the flakes away.

Eye primer: I use MAC Medium Prep+Prime eye. This is a hit or miss. I personally like it b/c it creates a smooth base for my eye base.

Eye base: MAC Shimmersand Shadestick. I used this under all my eyeshadows and I never need to touch up throughout the day.

Of course, you can save time by just using Urban Decay Primer Potion as your base and you wouldn't need a primer.

I give myself about 20-30 min every morning for makeup as I like to take my time..
