I have always put foundation/primer on first but I see a lot of videos where they do the eye make up first.is it just a preference?

Of course! There's no right or wrong in makeup. :) I have friends who put on their foundation first, but I like doing my eye makeup first. Whatever floats your boat. :)

I like to do my eye make up first too that's incase of fall out, it saves me from having to touch up my foundation afterwards 😁

For terrible marks, I put on concealer first to let it settle. While it's settling I do eye makeup. Then blend the concealer and put on foundation.

It depends on if the shadow I'm working with has a lot of fallout and if its a dark smokey eye I definitely do my eyes first and foundation last.

I always do my foundation first. I actually conceal first, then do foundation, then eye makeup. That's just for me, it's just what I've always done. But also I have this whole optimal skin out of the shower with moisturizer thing and I wouldn't get the benefit of an undone face and doing eyes first because I wouldn't want to take off my moisturizer when removing fall-out or something. It would bother me. Even though I could reapply it, it would mess with my routine.
I use a good coat of powder after my face makeup so I can sweep away any fall out.

I do eye make up because your face make up can cover any fall out from eye makeup and give a better undereye look:)

Eye makeup first, so you can fix any mistakes using q-tips and makeup remover without ruining your foundation.
