When applying makeup, the general rule is to apply foundation before contouring. This is because foundation provides an even base for the rest of your makeup and helps to create a smooth canvas for contouring.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
Start by applying your foundation all over your face, using a brush, sponge or your fingers.
Once your foundation is applied and blended in, you can then move on to contouring.
Use a contouring product, such as a cream or powder, to create definition and shape in areas such as the cheekbones, forehead, and jawline.
Blend out your contour using a brush or sponge, making sure there are no harsh lines.
Finish off your makeup by applying your blush, highlighter, and any other finishing touches.
Remember, makeup application is subjective, and you can experiment with different techniques to find what works best for you.
