I applied my primer to my face with my fingers. 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 the Star Lit Liquid to the tops of my cheekbones and blended with my finger. I set under my eyes with the RT Setting Brush and the rest of my face with the Danielle Powder Brush. I used the bottom middle shade in the contour kit to contour my cheekbones with the Danielle Large Angled Brush. I applied bronzer to my cheeks and forehead with the Bdellium Tools 955. I applied my blush to my cheeks with the Luxie Duo Fiber Powder 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 primer and blended from lash line to brow with my finger. I applied Georgia in and above the crease with the MAC 217. I applied Candied Peach in the crease with the ELF Blending Eye Brush and on the lower lash line with the MAC 219. I applied Just Peachy to the lid with the RT Base Shadow Brush. I applied Nectar to my brow bone and inner corner with the Bdellium Tools 765. I applied black liner to my tight line and white liner to my waterline. I applied one coat of mascara to my bottom lashes and two on the top.

I applied my lip color with the applicator.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

-Smashbox Photo Finish Primer: I've heard that the NYX Photo Loving Primer is a dupe for this one and I love that primer. I could definitely feel and see the resemblance so I really like this primer!

-Laura Mercier Candleglow Concealer & Highlighter: I thought it would be lighter in color because it's shade 1 but it matched me pretty well so I can't really use it to highlight. Pretty on the skin but I wish it had a little more coverage as I had to do 2 layers to really cover my dark circles, which I don't think are particularly too dark to begin with.

-Make Up For Ever Star Lit Liquid: A little goes a long way and it is VERY shiny. It settled down to be more wearable after I powdered my face but it was still very glowy. I definitely like it!

-Laura Mercier Candleglow Sheer Perfecting Powder: Lovely finish, doesn't look powdery or heavy and don't make me look textured. I would definitely suggest checking this powder out and I'll use it again.

-Doir DiorBlush Vibrant Color Powder Blush: Lovely color, very soft and natural, and very easy to blend without completely blending it away. Definitely wearing this again!

-Too Faced Shadow Insurance: I'll have to see how my eyeshadow holds up throughout the day but so far I like the texture and my eyeshadows applied and blended smoothly over it.

-Too Faced Sweet Peach Creamy Peach Oil Lip Gloss: Not sticky or slimy at all! I did a couple layers to get the color as opaque as I wanted it but it still felt nice and smooth with ever layer. I'll use this again but layered over a lip liner so it's more pigmented without so many layers.

That blush is so pretty! And It's nice to see you eyes without the black eyeliner on the bottom lash line too, the white really opens your eyes imo I think these sort of looks are super pretty on you :) x

I've had my eye on that Tarte Rainforest of the sea foundation what are your thoughts? Is it long lasting? does it go on smooth? is it good for dry skin?

Yessenia and Shaye, thank you!

Jannin, I love the Tarte foundation and it's definitely great for dry skin! It's long wearing and applies so smoothly (:

Thank you! (;
