"If I apply strip lashes, I will typically apply the lashes first and the mascara second, as it's easier to apply strip lashes over the natural curl of the lash versus an enhanced curl with added stiffness/hold from the mascara. However, if I apply individual lashes, I will apply mascara first and the lashes second to create a seamless blend," says Trop.

Step 8: Lips

Step 9: And set!
Last but not least, Trop says to set your make up look with a makeup setting spray like Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray to get maximum wear time. And that's it! Now you can rest easy, knowing the exact order in which to apply your makeup.
