Should You Do Hair Or Makeup First

Depending on your routine, you may want to do your hair, makeup, or both at the same time. It all depends on your needs and the time you have. If you’re just waking up and don’t want to do your makeup yet, you may want to do your hair first thing. On the other hand, if you’re going to be working all day and don’t want to put on any makeup, you may want to do your hair first thing. Here’s a quick guide on when you should do your makeup first, and when you should do your hair.

Should You Do Hair or Makeup First?

It depends on the person. Some people like to do their hair first, and then move on to their makeup. Others prefer to do their makeup first, and then finish off with their hair. It’s really up to you. If you wear false eyelashes, you might want to apply them before you do your eyeliner; otherwise, your hand might shake and make a mess of things! Also, if you have a lot of curls in your hair or are wearing a wig, it’s easier to do your hair last because you can work around the hair that’s already in place.

When Is It Good To Do Your Makeup First?

  1. If you are going to a party, and you are not sure if you will be in the sun or not. Then do your makeup first because it will last longer.
  2. If you have a lot of people to talk to and take pictures with at the party or any other event then it is best to start with your makeup first because it will last longer
  3. If you are going to be doing something that requires a lot of moving around and sweating, then apply your makeup first so that when it comes time for your hair, it won’t get messed up by all the sweat and movement.
  4. If you have sensitive skin like me, then do your makeup first because then if there is any kind of reaction or allergy to something in the product, then you can stop what you are doing and go wash your face right away before anything else happens.
  5. When wearing false eyelashes, if they aren’t applied correctly they can give you red eyes.
  6. If you have allergies or asthma, then do your makeup first so that if you need to take medicine or use an inhaler, then it is easier to do with your makeup on.
  7. If you are not sure how your makeup will look until it dries and sets, then do it first because then if you don’t like it, you can wash all of it off and start over again.
  8. If your hair needs a lot of work to be done to it before applying makeup, then do your hair first because if you apply all of your makeup before washing and styling your hair, then the product will get stuck in there and make it harder for the stylist or yourself to work with when styling the hair later on in the process.
  9. If one eye looks better than the other when applying eyeliner or mascara, then do that eye first so that if there is any kind of reaction or allergy to something on that side, then you will be able to stop what you are doing and wash it off before anything else happens.
  10. If you have a lot of hair on your face, then do your hair first so that the makeup won’t get stuck in the hair and make it harder for you to style later on.
  11. If you are going to be using false eyelashes and you need them to look really full, then do them first because if they don’t look full enough when applied, it can cause some irritation from the product getting into your eye or getting into the corners of your eyes.
  12. If wearing false eyelashes makes your eyes itch or sting, then do them first because sometimes they can be allergic to certain products like mascara or eyeliner. You can also try taking a nap with them if they are causing an itch or sting because sometimes that helps to get rid of any reaction that is happening at the time.
