This video is from VideoJug, and posted here using their sharing service.  They're very basic, but they show how application is done on a real person.  In my opinion, it should take more than wiping with a facial wipe.  It is too common that the cleansing chemicals in facial wipes will react with the foundation, changing its color, or inhibiting its bond with the skin.  In a hurry a wipe will work well enough for cleansing.  I just suggest that you also do a quick rinse or wipe down with a wet cloth or paper towel with only clear water after using any cleansing wipes.

Also, don't use powder under the eyes.  It makes wrinkles look more prominent.  If you are worried about looking too shiny under the eyes, blot excess emollients from your foundation or concealer by gently pressing it with an oil absorbing tissue.  A little secret: hemp rolling papers and setting papers do this wonderfully.
