I applied my primer all over my face with my hands. I applied and blended my foundation with the Sigma F80. I applied my concealer under my eyes and blended with the Beauty Blender Micro Mini. I applied and blended the liquid highlighter to the tops of my cheekbones, down the nose, and the cupid's bow with my fingers. I set under my eyes with the RT Setting Brush and the rest of my face with the Danielle Powder Brush. I applied my bronzer to my cheeks and forehead with the Bdellium Tools 955. I contoured my cheekbones with the Luxie Large Angled Brush. I applied my blush to my cheeks with the Danielle Blush Brush. I set my makeup with a few sprays of the Primer Water.
I lightly filled in my brows with the attached brush and set them with the gel.
I applied my eye primer and blended from lash line to brow. I applied Drive in and above the crease with the Bdellium Tools 781. I applied Boss to the lid with the RT Base Shadow Brush. I applied Stylin to the outer corner with the Bdellium Tools 769 and blended through the crease with the Danielle Blending Brush. I applied Dominate to the lower lash line with a MAC 219. I applied Hype to the brow bone and inner corner with the Bdellium Tools 765. I applied my liner to my tight line and waterline, one coat of mascara primer, and one coat of mascara to my bottom lashes and two on the top.
I applied my lip color from the tube.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
-Laura Mercier Foundation Primer: I liked the texture and consistency of it and a little goes a long way but it blends in really well if you do use too much. Upon closer inspection there wasn't much pore filling in but my skin does look nice.
-Lancome Teint Visionnaire Foundation: Definitely not the right color, lol, but it's very lightweight, great coverage (medium/full), with a glowy/dewy finish. Unfortunately this foundation is discontinued but if it wasn't or if it ever comes back I would get it in the right shade.
-NARS Concealer: This is the stick concealer that was discontinued awhile ago and I can kind of see why. The coverage is good, it blends out well, and is nice and creamy but it sits in fine lines and creases very quickly under the eyes and just kind of settles there. This color I wouldn't normally use but I was trying to match the foundation.
-Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid: I loved the glow of this and it blended well over my foundation without lifting or disturbing it. Definitely using this again!
-Tarte Tarteist Pro To Go Palette: I was actually surprised at the quality of this little palette because the full sized Pro palette is just awful. The shadows had nice pigmentation and blended really well. I would recommend this over the full sized palette.
-L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara Primer: I'll have to try this with my regular mascara to really see what it does but I don't have anything negative to say about it.
-L'Oreal Voluminous Feline Noir Mascara: The mascara wand is plastic, which is fine, but the bristles are really short so while my lashes looked nice and long they weren't separated, they were kinda clumpy, so I don't really like this mascara.
-Dior Lipstick: Really smooth and creamy and great color payoff, also like the shine to it. I will definitely wear this again!
-Smashbox Primer Water: I decided to use this as a setting spray instead of a primer because I just didn't really trust it to prime, lol. I don't know if it's just my bottle or if they all do this but I had to hold the bottle really close to my face for the mist to even reach me and the pump kept clogging or something because it wouldn't push any of the product out so I had to keep stopping to let it figure itself out and then continue to spray. Not really impressed, to be honest.

I am loving the glow! I too love the becca Shimmering skin perfector. I use it just with the Becca foundation but I see now that can work for another brand too. Have you maybe tried to curl your eyelashes? I think that would open up your eyes more :)

Looking gorgeous as usual! I love the Laura Mercier primers. Radiance is my favorite. Pore filling isn't an issue for me- I need hydration from a primer and I like the way her primers make my skin feel. And I'm a huge BECCA liquid illuminator fan- I can use them so many different ways: mix them into my foundation, apply them to my cheekbones, Cupid's bow. I even use it on my décolletage for a little shimmer at night.

Jenni, I have the Radiance primer as well and I'm really liking both of them! The texture and consistency of them are great! The liquid Illuminator reminds me a lot of the MAC Strobe Cream, which I love, so I'm enjoying that as well (:
