First I applied the strobe cream with my fingers on my cheekbones, down the nose, and on the Cupid's bow. I applied and blended my foundation with the RT Expert Face Brush and applied my concealer under my eyes in a triangle, down the nose, the Cupid's bow, and the chin, blending it all in with the RT Miracle Complexion Sponge. I set under my eyes with Lyric and the rest of my concealer with Lucid on the RT Setting Brush. I contoured my cheekbones, chin, and jawline with the RT Contour Brush and the sides of my nose with the MAC 217 and the shade Sombre. I applied my blush to t cheeks with the ELF Bronzing Brush. I applied my highlighter with the RT Fan Brush on the top of the cheekbones, down the nose, and the Cupid's bow.

I lightly filled in my brows with the pencil.

I applied my eye primer from lash line to brow with my finger. I applied After Dusk as my first transition color above the crease with the ELF Blending Eye Brush. Using the same brush I applied Mancatcher in the crease. I applied Satellite Dreams all over the lid with the RT Base Shadow Brush. I applied Bon Nuit on the outer corner with the ELF Eyeshadow Brush and blended with the ELF Blending Eye Brush; I also applied it to the lower lash line with either same brush. I highlighted the inner corner and the brow bone with Sweet Lust on the ELF Defining Eye Brush. I applied one coat of mascara on the bottom and two on the top.

I applied my lip color straight from the tube.

And here are the eyes closed.

It might be because I'm using the app, but the eyeshadow looks patchy to me. the colors are beautiful. and your skin is flawless. how is the kvd foundation? how long does it last. and I'm loving the lips, so much.

Thank you, Kailey!

Kim, for some reason my eye shadows always look patchy in pictures but they look fine in real life, it's weird lol. I absolutely love the KVD foundation, it's one of my new favorite foundations and lasts all day long on my normal to oily skin. I haven't even finished the sample I got of it yet but I'm going to be getting a full bottle soon! Thank you! (:

Melissa, I love the KVD Shade + Light Contour Palette! The shades have great pigmentation and they blend so smoothly and easily, plus the highlight shades are so brightening! Thank you! (:

Thank you, Hayley! (:

Looks good

Thanks, Qwaserght (:
