Steps in a makeup application

I'm wondering what you guys use, altogether.
After washing my face, I'll use a toner and a moisturizer (occasionally....i have to get better at taking care of my skin)

after all that, i just put on foundation (studio fix) with a sponge. I don't use any concealer, or setting powder or anything else. I got a liquid concealer from MAC awhile ago that I never use...it doesn't seem to make a difference to me.

Anyways, my question is, what do you guys do in your makeup application? concealer foundation and powder? only foundation? I'm sorry if this seems like a really dumb question, but I don't know if everyone uses everything

Also, the eyebrow pencils and shadows: I know people with thin or light brows use it, but is there a point if u have thick, shaped brows already?

I always use a moisturizer with SPF. Then I use a concealer under my eyes and on any red spots, and for "foundation" I just buff in MSF Natural.

As for eyebrows, if yours are already full and shaped, I don't see any point in filling them in! Lucky you!

Usually these are the traditional steps:

Moisturize/Prime
Color Correction + Conceal
Foundation (after foundation, if there is an area that needs extra concealer, you can apply it afterwards, stick concealers are best applied after foundation to avoid rubbing off when you apply the foundation)
Set with Powder
Eyes - Primer, neutral base shade to ensure that eyeshadow blends easily, then depending what your technique use follow with eyeshadow and liner.
Mascara and then brows (if your brows are full and completely define, you can skip this step, just comb your brows into place to remove any loose powder.
Blush and contour (if applicable), lip balm or primer, lip liner, lipstick and gloss. Hopefully I won't have forgotten anything.

This is what I do:

Skincare: Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize... do my hair while moisturizer sinks in

Primer, then apply Moistureblend foundation with a damp foundation brush. I apply it very sheerly, then go over any red areas to build coverage. I don't need concealer except for under my eyes.

MSF Natural with a Kabuki, very lightly to give a polished, finished look... love this product.

I apply regular primer and foundation to my eyelids when I do my face, then follow up with UDPP. Then on goes the shadow, liner, mascara. Usually 3-4 shadows.

Blush and highlighter/shimmer or whatever I'm using that day.

Lippie and I'm done!!

It usually takes 30 mins, how long do you guys take?
