Next up in the correct order of makeup application is blush and bronzer, which are used to contour and define the cheeks and eyes. This is where highlighter and eyeshadow also come into play in order to create more definition, then lips come next, followed by mascara, which should wait until the very end in order to prevent smudging. By following this sequence, not only will makeup application be easier but it will also stay longer and look flawless.
