Amron, because if you put foundation on right after your moisturizer then the moustorizer wont have time to sink in and do its work to your face. And Welcome! Youll love it here!

 
Thanks for that. Will give it a try. I am enjoying the site immensly so far. Great ideas and tips.

 
Here's my typical routine before a day at work:

* moisturizer (I'm try out new moisturizers all the time -- most recently, it has been Mario Badescu)

* concealor

* foundation

* double check concealor

* powder

* fill in brows

* e/s base like Lancome Hypnotique or MAC shadestick or paint

* highlight browbone & then apply e/s design

* eyeliner

* curl lashes

* mascara (usually MAC Zoomlash)

* false lashes

* blush & cheekbone highlight

* brush teeth

I don't apply my lips until right before I clock into work.
