Application:

I started off by priming the face with Smashbox's photo finish primer, then applied MUFE foundation, both using the 188 brush. I rolled on my favorite under eye concealer, Garnier's  Anti-Dark circle roller and set my face with translucent powder with a kabuki brush. Then, I moved onto the eyes. I used Maybelline's Define-a-Brow to fill in my brows and primed my lids with Benefit's stay don't stray to help the shadows last all day and not crease on me.  For the eye look, I started in the crease, taking the MAC 224 brush I applied Stars N' Rockets eyeshadow using windshield wiper motions blending it high up towards the brow.  Then took the MAC 217 brush and defined the crease a bit with Fig 1, focusing on the outer third of the crease. I wiped the 224 brush off with a towel and then applied my highlight color, Blanc type.  Using Elf's C brush i packed on MAC's Goldmine to the center of the lid and then used MAC's 219 pencil brush to apply Steamy to the outer and inner third of the lid. On the lower lash line I applied MAC's Fig 1 with the same 217 brush I used in the crease to smoke the lash line out. I finished the eyes with Covergirl Lashblast mascara. To sculpt the cheeks I used Sigma's F25 brush, made a "fishy face" and applied Rimmel's bronzer under the cheekbones and blended it up throught my temples and in the hairline to give the face a more defined and 3 dimensional look. I applied NYX plummy to the apples of the cheeks with the MAC 109.  On the lips i used MAC's Blooming Lovely lipstick and Lychee Luxe lipglass to warm the color up a bit. 



Good Luck <3
