I do that too, or wear nothing on my cheeks because I have giant cheekbones anyway and they do it for me XD
I don't wear mascara often - I have a genetic mutation that gives me multiple rows of lashes (3 on top, 2 on the bottom). It actually makes my lashes stick together.
I've had arguments with people about me not wearing fake lashes. Sorry, just a genetic lottery winner, lol!
I don't dye my grey hair which provokes shocked rants from my mother inlaw (i'm only 26 btw, again, weird genetics)

I do this all the time, on myself and others didn't know it was a no-no
I apply eyeliner after mascara and eyeshadow, kinda press it in from the top, on myself I do this...

Me too, with the concealing/correcting! They didn't each it one way or the other in school, so I wasn't aware and hadn't read that anywhere, until now. I'll have to try applying concealer before and see the difference it makes! My mind always reasoned putting it on after foundation, because foundation may be enough to cover the little imperfections and you wouldn't need to conceal as much.
I used to be one of those who concealed before foundation. When I assisted a senior artist she had us do it in reverse and I've loved it ever since. You use less product that way also when you are using pro quality makeup the pigmentation levels are enough that you can get away with it. It doesn't work all of the time with all people, but it is another handy technique in your pocket that can save you a bit of time when needed.
I'm not sure if this is beauty rule or not, but I use volumizers (sprays, mousses, etc.) on dry hair instead of damp and then blow dry them in. I find it works a LOT better.
I love to use lipsticks for color correcting dark circles...
Blushes as eyeshadows...
Lipsticks as blush...
Eyeshadows for brow color...
Eyeshadows for lip color...
Eyeshadows for highlights and contours...
Basically using any makeup on an area that it was not intended to be used I find fun and a bit dangerous

Oh, dear, they are rules? My, then I probably broke them all already.
Used blush as an eyeshadow (just the day before yesterday). I needed a red one. Lipstick as blush, cream blush as lipstick, eyeshadows on lips...
The most daring thing I did probably was using a gel liner as a lipstick and black khol pencil as a lipliner. I don't have that stuff in black... yet. O
Are you talking about rules for makeup or beauty in general?
At any rate, i think rules are silly and limiting! My typography teacher used to say, first you need to know the rules and then you can break them. The rule of thirds or lining your exposure up with a fibonacci sequence might get you a balanced composition, but beauty is so much more than just balance! The point is to know WHY people make these rules, so its less about breaking them and more about making your own rules for whatever you're trying to achieve. Yes, the right blush and eyeliner might give you that glamourous barbie doll look, but there is so much more to beauty than barbie dolls! Yes, 3 point lighting can be very aesthetically pleasing but it only works best for display style photography and is unnatural and creates a limited range of moods! Learn the rules people have created for their own styles, but understand that they are only FORMULAS, once you know how these formulas are created you can make your own.

All of them. If I followed rules I would never have gotten to discover how far I can go. I mix hair color lines. I would add semi permanent color to perm neutralizer. And don't get me started on henna! Makeup rules, please. How do you think things get invented. I don't think outside the box because there is no box. R-

This I find very interesting. Just curious why you do it this way. Dont the lashes lose their curl this way? Do you find that the liner is easier to apply this way? Would love to hear more about this technique and you reasons for it.
Im just so curious because I find mascara application to be the most detailed step to do and I would love to knock that step out first so I can move on with the rest of my eyes without concerning myself with that tedious mascara step.

Your post REALLY intrigues me I am extremely interested in how you use lipsticks to color correct dark circles. Would you mind sharing which shades you use for which types of circles? Do you have any particular shades that work well for medium to dark skin?

Jocelyne,
At Illamasqua Global Beauty School Drop-in that I attended, for the "Mastering Mid-tone Skin" section, David Horne used Illamasqua Lipstick in "Flare" (orange colour) for under-eye pigmentation on Asian/Latin American/Olive Skin. This was applied under the eyes before makeup.
Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation in 233 was then applied over the Illamasqua Lipstick in Flare under the eyes. This lifted the eyes significantly.

I find it faster and easier on myself yes, not sure why My lashes have a strong curl already after mascara so they are not affected...I'm also not going for that visible winged eyeliner or anything like that, more thin liner to enhance the lashes if that makes sense, cos my eyes do not tolerate any liner on the upper waterline..

I sometimes use red or orange lipsticks to color correct..just a little bit goes a long way..just lightly apply the lipstick shade only where there is darkness, then apply concealer over the top. Orange lipstick corrects a blue toned darkness (and blends well with a warm skin tone), red corrects something with a bit more green to it (works well with a cool skin tone). For darker skin tones, just use a deeper lipstick. Usually deeper skin works better with orange correctors.

I don't either. If people saw my face charts, they wouldn't trust me to do makeup! I am not the same on paper artist as I am on face. I'm more of a reading words learner than a looking at pictures learner anyway. For myself, I write an outline of my looks to skim over before doing a look, instead of doing face charts.

I think your all missing the point ........ there are no rules , the only rules are about sanatation
ive been around long enough to see "the rules " change over and over "
you cant have strong eyes and a strong mouth
you can use this for that
you cant you cant you cant ..........following a bunch of "beauty rules " and im curious who made them up ???? you r moms ?????
its like wearing blinders , dosent serve you as a artist and is really a shallow way of looking at beauty and being an artist

I personally have very thick hair and it's naturally very curly, so I straighten it a lot and it fries my hair. So much for keratin lasting 6 months I think it was..? Anyways, it leaves me having to get the keratin treatment a lot. Relaxers worked so much better, but I used to dye my hair a lot so I couldn't get my hair relaxed anymore. Now I mainly get my hair highlighted..
didn't know it was a no-no
