Quick Q: When y'all r getting ready What gets done 1st, Makeup or Hair?

[DominicanBarbie]

I have really curly hair so if i'm leaving my hair curly I get out the shower put in my leave in conditioner and my keratin spray and then I do my makeup and when I'm done with that I add my mousse and maybe finish with hair spray. If i'm doing my hair straight then I always do my hair first. Its a long process of blow drying and flatiron and i just get too hot and don't want to ruin my makeup.

[miss_primer]

I do my hair first then my makeup.

I prefer to do makeup first, then hair. My hair is short and thick, and I'd be constantly pushing bangs out of my face while I'm applying cosmetics if I fixed my hair first. I keep my hair pushed back in a headband until my face is completed.

[leenybeeny]

I put my hair back while i am doing my makeup so it doesn't get in the way... then I blowdry and style my hair after.

[LuvinMyMAC]

I do makeup first. Since my hair is short, there isn't much for me to do.

ME TOO!!! I FOUND MY ROUTINE TWIN!! =)

Hair, then make-up.

If im going out and working with lots of heat to get this mess tamed then, I don't wanna worry about sweating my make-up off.

I do my hair, chill out then i can play with my face Just brush my bangs back with a clippy or something.

Hair then makeup.. if it's a client, same thing

[iadoremac]

hair then makeup, i usually use my makeup to compliment my hairstyle

[blakistan]

Hair always!
My hair style will determine what lip color I wear and what blush im putting on.

[sassyclassy]

I always do my make up first...in my mind, if my face looks good, I can pull off the hair no matter what it looks like. And another thing is I'm normally in a rush in the mornings so I don't really put much effort into the hair at all.

[missfaithy]

I prefer to do my hair first -- when I had my long hair & NOW, with my shorter hair.

I, too, sweat a bit while doing my hair -- so I rather get my hair done & just pin my hair back and go forward with makeup.

After my makeup is done...unclip my hair, flip my head upside down...tousle, tousle...& a spritz of fix+ to finish my makeup look -- then I'm out the door.

I have locs so my hair is done 99% of the time so my answer is makeup first.

i agree!!
i tried.. but i had to pin everything back.. and when i took out the pins there were creases..
and plus i let my hair products sit in my hair and air dry while im doing my makeup. (cuts down on the blow drying time)

[doomkitteh]

I do my makeup first but I don't do much with my hair. My fancy hairdo is mousse and blow dry for the big hair.

[MishaDior]

It depends on what takes longer that day. If i have to flatiron or really style my hair, ill do that first. If I'm doing a half-wig or my hair is already done, the makeup comes first. It makes my routine pretty easy!

[Sashan]

If I've just washed my hair, I blow dry and pin it back, then do my makeup and straighten my hair last.

If I'm not washing my hair, I do my makeup first and then figure my hair out. It takes me a LOT longer to do my makeup than hair, so if I'm running late I'd rather get my makeup right then just pull my hair back

[flymestza]

My routine is exactly like Sashan. If I don't put product in my hair and blow dry right out of the shower, my hair will be difficult to work with. So I blow dry, pin it back, and then do my makeup. By the time I'm finished with my makeup, my flat iron is ready to go.

If I don't wash my hair I do my makeup first then style my hair.

[iCandy]

As a black girl, the hair gets done first because you never what's going to happen there... it's always an ordeal.

Makeup, you can just sit in one place and do it in like 15 minutes... but hair.. wow that could be like a whole day to get read..

so hair first.. then everything else.

[DazzleDarling]

I do hair first in case I run out of time, I'd rather leave the house without make-up than with my hair messed up. I usually do my hair first then push my bangs off my face to do make-up, and just fix my bangs after.

Makeup

[Obsidianbbw]

hair if it is unbraided, which means it needs more time and I will probably end up sweating a bit. If braided then makeup comes first since my hair should be a breeze.

[Sammaji]

I always do my makeup first then hair. I feel like when I do my makeup first the hair is the finishing touch for AMAZING results. For some reason it never works the other way around for me. Also, my hair would get in the way if I did it first!

[miss sha]

Makeup first, but that's because I have locs and doing my hair involves using a moisturizing spray, then either leaving it down or tying it up.

[elongreach]

My hair because it makes me feel ready for the makeup. Like I'm going to make this hair look the way if feels. It just makes every step of the makeup process seem sexy.
