I applied my primer all over my face with my fingers. I used patting motions to apply my foundation with the sponge it came with. I applied my concealer under my eyes in a triangle, down the nose, and the Cupid's bow and blended with the Beauty Blender Micro Mini. I applied and blended the Enhance Click with my fingers to the tops of my cheekbones, down the nose, and the Cupid's bow. 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 ELF Total Face Brush. I contoured my cheekbones with the Luxie 504 Large Angled. I applied my blush to my cheeks with the Danielle Blush Brush. I applied my highlighter to the tops of my cheekbones, down the nose, and the Cupid's bow with the RT Fan Brush. I sprayed the boosting mist all over to set my makeup.

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

I applied my eye primer from lash line to brow and blended with my fingers. I applied Lockout above he crease with the Bdellium Tools 781. I applied Instinct on the lid with the RT Base Shadow Brush. I applied Lethal to the outer corner with the Bdellium Tools 769 and blended through the crease with the Danielle Blending Brush. I also applied Lethal to the lower lash line with a MAC 219. I applied the nude side of the highlighter pencil to my brow bone and inner corner. I applied my liner to my tight line and waterline. I lined my eyes and created a wing with the liquid liner. I applied one coat of the mascara primer to my top lashes and two coats of mascara to my top lashes and one coat on the bottom lashes.

I applied my lip color with the applicator.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

-MUFE Step 1: Great consistency and texture, applied very smoothly to the skin, and my pores look great!

-Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Cushion Foundation: Definitely not the right color but it has great coverage and applies very easily. It has a very dewy finish that still shows through even after powdering, which looks lovely but I'll have to see how it holds up throughout the day.

-Cover FX Enhance Click: I'll have to try this again when my foundation is the right color because while it did give a little bit of glow I feel like I could've gotten more out of it.

-Hourglass Dim Light: Doesn't completely mattify the skin, which I like because it doesn't look extra powdery or dry on the skin. I'm really loving this so far!

-NARS Laguna: Very natural color and I like it!

-NARS Orgasm: I will admit it's a pretty color but it doesn't wow me, I don't understand the hype around it but I would wear it again.

-Tarte Marine Boosting Mist: It has a citrusy scent to it but otherwise feels nice on the skin.

-Benefit Ka-Brow: I could probably use a different color but it was very easy to use and I love that I would still get a very natural look from it!

-Anastasia Clear Brow Gel: Way too wet and my brows feel stiff.

-NARS Pro Prime: Love the texture and consistency and was very easy to blend. I'll have to see how well my shadows hold up through the day with it.

-Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics: Very pigmented and blend so smoothly and easily, I love it and I would recommend it!

-BrowGal Highlighter Pencil: These shades don't really work as highlighter shades for my skin so I'm not really impressed with it. It's creamy and blendable but just not the shades for me.

-NARS Night Series Eyeliner: Nice and black and easy to apply.

KVD Tattoo Liner: Very easy to use, pigmented, and smooth. The true test is seeing if it transfers throughout the day.

Dior Mascara Primer: I don't know how much this actually did but I wouldn't be opposed to using it again.

MUFE Excessive Lash: My lashes got kinda clumpy and it didn't give me any of the thickness or volume that I like, not really impressed.

Can't wait to see how that Lancome foundation hold up for the day! it looks really dewy! I always have problems with lasting time when I use dewy finish foundations!

Genevieve, as you can see I'm very shiny, lol. The foundation didn't break down from the oils though, which is a plus, so I think with some regular blotting throughout the day (which I'm not good at remembering to do, lol) it'll work for an all day look (:

Alexis I love the winged liner on you! I know you don't usually do one but it looks great. I got the Kat Von D liner in a Sephora play but haven't tried it yet although I've heard good things about it. I did try the Anastasia brow gel and didn't mind the stiffness but my brows looked grey and crusty. Love the lip color too, I have a few Ciate products and I really like them. Great job on the whole look!

Grace, thank you so much! The liner lasted really well, minimal fading and it didn't transfer at all!

Kat, thank you! (:

Grace, that eyeliner is AMAZING! by far my all time favorite! my wing improved so much when I started using this!!
Thanks Alexis for the picture! as I am not good at all to blot either, I would find this way to shiny on me!! I'll stick to my L'Oreal Lumi cushion!
