Finally got myself the Lorac Unzipped Palette so of course I had to play around with it and I created this look! I also got the NYX Wonder Stick because I was curious about it so I used that too plus first impressions on everything!

Face:
-Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer
-Estée Lauder Double Wear in 2W1 Dawn
-NYX HD Concealer in Light
-NYX Wonder Stick in Light/Medium
-Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
-Too Faced Love Flush Blush Palette (Baby Love)
-NYX Illuminator in Ritualistic

Brows:
-IT Cosmetics Brow Power
-Chella Defining Brow Power

Eyes:
-Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer
-Lorac Unzipped Palette (Unconditional, Unbridled, Unbelievable, Undercover)
-Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Crayon in Blacquer
-Tarte Lights Camera Splashes

Lips:
-Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bow N Arrow

I applied my primer focusing on my cheeks and through the t-zone with my fingers. I applied and blended my foundation with the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. I applied my concealer under my eyes and blended with the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I applied the highlighting side of the Wonder Stick under my eyes in a triangle, down the nose, and the Cupid's bow and blended with the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I applied the contouring side of the Wonder Stick down the sides of my nose, under my cheekbones, chin, and jawline and blended with the Real Techniques Contour Brush. I applied my translucent powder under my eyes with the Real Techniques Setting Brush and the rest of my face with the Danielle Powder Brush. I applied my blush to my cheeks with the Danielle Blush Brush and my highlighter to the top of my cheekbones, down the nose, and the Cupid's bow with the Real Techniques 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 Unconditional above the crease and on the lower lash line with the ELF Blending Eye Brush. I applied Unbridled through the crease with the blending brush. I applied Unbelievable on the lid with the Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush. I applied Undercover under the brow and the inner corner with the ELF Defining Eye Brush. I lined my tight line and waterline with my eyeliner and applied one coat of mascara on the bottom and two on the top.

I applied my lip color with the applicator.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

NYX Wonder Stick: The highlight side is very brightening, creamy, and blends very easily. I really liked this side! The contour side is creamy as well but it's very easy to over blend and just blend away all the color. I'm not too sure about this side, I'll have to play around with it a bit more.

Lorac Unzipped Palette: I will never be disappointed by Lorac eyeshadows! These colors are super pigmented and blend so smoothly and easily, just like the Pro Palettes. If you love the Pro Palettes like I do then you'll definitely love the Unzipped Palette, I definitely recommend it and I can't wait to create more looks with this!

I love these colors on you Alexis and bow n arrow looks fabulous on you! I agree with you, I love Lorac palettes. Can you swatch the two sides of the NYX wonder stick? I've considered getting it a few times because I h&c with cream quite often before powder.

Hmmm I've always wondered about this nyx stick...maybe try the beauty blender and see it that works to blend.

And here's a swatch with flash. I don't know why the contour shade looks shimmery, it's definitely matte especially when it's blended out.

Nice look Alexis. First thought when you swatched that nyx stick was that it would make a pretty lip shade. :)
