This order of application should help you from not mixing the powder colors which should be avoided on shabbos.
Make sure face is dry when applying Shabbos Brushups. (If you have existing longlasting makeup from before shabbos, you may apply powder on top on shabbos day. It is preferred to use Shabbos Brushups on a clean face. Powders should not be mixed with eachother on Shabbos or used with any liquids.
. Apply brow filler to fill in your eyebrows. Use the comb to brush up brows and fill in with Brow powder.
. Apply eyeliner on top lid or on bottom lash line (not waterline line.)
. Apply eyeshadow on lid above eyeliner. TIP: Use 2 faced eyeshadow brush- flat brush to apply eyeshadow on lid and crease brush when applying in crease. Choose one color shadow at a time to avoid any mixing of colors. You can apply highlighter above eyeshadow, on browbone.
.Apply clear mascara directly onto lashes. TIP: Brushup your lashes for a few seconds with mascara comb to give great volume. Must be used on dry Lashes.
. Apply Blush or Bronzer to avoid mixing colors on Shabbos. TIP: Brushup bronzer on cheeks, cheeksbones and forehead for color & contour! If using blush, apply on cheeks or cheekbones. If using highlighter, apply on cheekbones or browbone. Faceshield may be used to avoid mixing of colors on Shabbos.
. Apply foundation in other areas of face to avoid cheeks or Cheekbone area if bronzer or blush or highlighter was used. TIP: Use face shield to block other powders on face while applying Foundation. The 2 faced Foundation brush is a great brush to use for great coverage and avoids any mixing with other powders. Tap brush into powder and dab onto skin to give a flawless look.
*Foundation should not be mixed with other colors. It is still considered a color eventhough it is a lighter shade. By applying a powder on top of another powder is also causing it to last longer which is not permissable On Shabbos.
. Apply concealer under eyes or in areas needed. TIP: use flat concealer brush for great coverage, tap into powder and blend onto skin avoiding other powders on Shabbos.
. Apply either lip powder OR clear rollergloss on dry lips.
TIP: when using a lip powder, shake out before applying it to get the powder flowing and roll on. Do not mix lip powder with clear gloss, Use one or the other seperatly. Do not apply lip oil before or after lip powder. Liquids should not be mixed with powder on Shabbos
