This is a look I did as a practice run for a look my client wants to do coming up this Friday. You guys let me know what you think of it. Thank you all! Oh, and, I used Kat Von D lock it foundation applied with a beauty blender. I used YSL Touche Éclat under I highlighter and also for the high points on my face. I used to for his bronzer for my contour. On my eyes I used Macs eyeshadow base in painterly. I brushed Max eyeshadow in Wedge all over my eyelid and my crease and under my brow. I used Macs eyeshadow in the color saddle in my crease. On my live I went in with the color black from Lorac pro palette, making sure to keep the black color only on my lid. I blended it all together with a fluffy brush. For my under Brownell highlighter I used Macs eyeshadow in the color shrooms, and I brought it down to the inner corner of my eye. I dabbed just a little silver glitter on top of the black color on my lid. I used Max gel liner in black on my upper lid and also on my lower waterline. For underneath Mayeye I used Macs eyeshadow in saddle, and I went over on top of it with the same black color I used on my lid, and I blended them out. For my blush I used the peach color in Too Faced Everything Nice pallet. I highlighted my cheekbones with Narrs albatross. Lastly, on my lips are used Chanel's creamy color in basic nude.

Gorgeous! This is the best look you've posted. I love the lip color and I never would have though of a black lid, blending and brown matte crease. It really looks great though. If you post the photo, I would maybe touch up the highlighter on the cheek in photo shop because maybe it's catching the flash or something and looks a tad unblended. I don't think that's unethical or anything.

Your skin prep is so good very nice Kathryn, the only suggestion I would make is to soften the seam of the transition color at the very top and I noticed a dip under the brow.Other then that it's great to see you want to improve and open up to enhance your skill that's a big deal and inspires others to be ok with it as well. Keep going and virtual high 5 ;-)

Oh my gosh I just read my original text on this post and I'm mortified! I swear I know how to spell and use grammar. I was using voice text to dictate it and I guess that's what I get. Sorry yall!
