I applied my primer to my face with my fingers. I swiped my foundation onto my cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin and blended with the Sigma F80. I applied my concealer under my eyes and blended with the Beauty Blender Micro Mini. 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 applied my highlighter to the tops of my cheekbones, 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 and blended with my fingers. I applied Buon Fresco in and above the crease with the Bdellium Tools 781. I applied Antique Bronze to the lid with the RT Base Shadow Brush. I applied Cyprus Umber to the outer corner with the Bdellium Tools 769, blended through the crease with the Danielle Blending Brush, and to the outer half of the lower lash line with a MAC 219. I applied Antique Bronze to the inner half of the lower lash line with a MAC 219. I applied Vermeer to the inner corner and brow bone with the Bdellium Tools 765. I applied my liner to my tight line and waterline and applied one coat of mascara to the bottom lashes and two on the top.
I lined and filled in my lips with the pencil and topped it with the gloss.

Beautiful as always Alexis! That HG Vanish looks great on you. I know you typically do lighter foundations like Tarte Rainforest of the Sea. How did the Vanish work out for you?

Tina, thank you so much! (:
Hannah, thank you!
Jenni, thank you! I actually love the Vanish stick! I take the extra time to blend it into the skin so it doesn't look heavy and I love the finish of it. Definitely not an everyday foundation for me, though, it's for special occasions (:

I love it! Your so gorgeous and I love the detail! I absolutely love your eyes! Would like to see a bit more highlight on the cheekbones though! Merry Christmas ♡

Anna, thank you! I find that the Kevyn Aucoin highlight gives a more lit from within appearance rather than being glowy, which I liked for this look (:

Anna D.
@Alexis C. Yeah I totally understand!! I might try that highlighter- I'm just so into a glowy look at the moment! ♡
