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

I lightly filled in my brows with the pencil and set them with the gel.

I applied my eye primer from lash line to brow with my finger. I applied Milk to the inner half of my eye and Black Bean to the outer half, blending where the two meet in the middle. I applied Snow to the inner half with the ELF Eyeshadow Brush and the inner corner and under the brow with the ELF Defining Eye Brush. I applied Charcoal in the center with the ELF Eyeshadow Brush, blending where it meets Snow. I applied Black to the outer half with the ELF Eyeshadow Brush, blending where it meets Charcoal. I did the same method on the lower lash line with the ELF Blending Eye Brush. I applied my black liner to my tight line and the outer half of my waterline and my white liner to the inner half of the waterline. I applied one coat of mascara on the bottom and two on the top.

I applied my lip color straight from the tube.

Eyes closed. I also forgot to mention this is my first proper attempt at a gradient eye so constructive criticism is appreciated! (:

Maybe it's just the picture, but the difference in the lighter shade and the dark seems a bit harsh to me? I still love it and think it looks absolutely wonderful and scream TNBC :3.

Thanks, Emily (:
