I applied my primer all over my face, focusing on my t-zone and cheeks, with my fingers. I applied and blended my foundation with the RT Expert Face Brush. I applied my concealer under my eyes and blended it in with the RT Miracle Complexion Sponge. I set my concealer and through the t-zone with the blot powder on the RT Setting Brush. I applied my bronzer on my cheeks and forehead with the ELF Total Face Brush, my blush to my cheeks with the ELF Bronzing Brush, and my highlighter to the tops of my cheeks, 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 Allegro through the crease with the ELF Blending Eye Brush. I applied Lead Zeppelin on the lid with the RT Base Shadow Brush and on the lower lash line with the blending brush. I applied Third Eye Blinded on the brow bone and inner corner with the ELF Defining Eye Brush. I applied my liner on my tight line and waterline and applied one coat of mascara on my bottom lashes and two on the top.
I applied my lip color straight from the tube.
IMPRESSIONS:
The eyeshadows have amazing pigmentation and blend so easily! I'm excited to play with more colors in this palette!
The blush was also really pigmented but it's also very powdery and too pink for my skin tone so I'm probably not really going to use it.
The highlighter is gorgeous! I love subtle highlighters, nothing too extreme, and this one is perfect! It adds a lovely sheen/shine wherever it's applied and I'm definitely going to continue using it!

In no mean to offend you put you blend away the colors so much that the eyeshadow is on but blended away. Dark colors are definitely for you,you pull it off well!

I love it :)

Noemy, if you're referring to where Lead Zeppelin is, I only applied it to the lid so it's not blended up into/beyond the crease therefore you're not going to see the color there but thanks (:
Thank you, Emily! (:

Btw, do you like that Tarte foundation? I've heard mixed reviews on it, I have oily and blemished prone skin so I thought it might be a good match for me but some say it's a little cakey.

I like this look on you :) I lpve the lip color. Pnly critique I have, though, is that the blush in a bit too lpw and placed too close to the nose...I would start it more on the apple. Pretty color however!

When I first saw the picture I was thinking the same thing R.T said.. the positioning of the blush is off I'd apply it higher and not so far in. Also, it looks like the shadows don't go up to the same position on both eyes, which could just be the angle of everything. I love that lip color on you though.

Sorry for the late reply, the wifi at work wasn't working lol!
Molly, I do like the Tarte foundation however it's definitely not full coverage and not buildable :P
Dana, I love the Chocolate Soleil! I've been using it for a couple years now and I love, subtle color without being too orange or dark (:
Renay and Sarah, I will definitely be more aware of where o place my blush color (:
Thank you, everyone!

I want that lippie! lol! Another terrific and helpful look from you, Alexis. In spite of the placement others have mentioned, I kind of like a pinker blush on you for a change.
