After applying moisturizer, I applied the foundation all over my face and neck using a foundation brush. Using a concealer brush, I applied a small amount of concealer under my eyes and a smaller amount on my cheek bones. The concealer kit also comes with a loose translucent powder which i applied under my eyes with a large eyeshadow brush. Using a large kabuki brush, I buffed Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil all over my face. Using a powder brush, I applied bronzer lightly over my cheeks and chin. While pinching the bristles together, I swept bronzer in the hollowed portion of my cheeks on a diagonal. Using a blush brush, I swept the blush in an upward directions to up until my cheek bones. I applied MAC MSF as a highlighter with a highlighter brush on the tops of my cheek bones and the outer portion of my eyes.

Next, I prepped my eyes with UDPP using my fingers. Using a fluffy eyeshadow brush I applied Virgin on the innermost portion of my eyes near the tear ducts. Next, using the same brush, I applied Sin on the first 1/3 of my eyelid, slightly moving upward to the crease. I then used to same brush to apply Da Bling over the area I applied Sin and Virgin. I layered these eyeshadows to lessen the pinkness of Da Bling (it is very pink!). Using a dome brush I applied Creme de Violet over the entire crease, using less as I got closer to the inner v of my eye. Then I applied Fig 1 along the crease of the outer half of my crease. I concentrated more on the outer v of my eye, making the eyeshadow a little darker in the area. I then lined my top lash line with Urban Decay's eyeliner in Zero, and then I curled my lashes and applied Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara to my top and bottom lashes. Using a small angled brush, I applied Fig 1 to my lower lash line. Instead of applying the eye shadow on top of my lashes, I used the small size of the brush to apply the powder behind/underneath my lower lashes, using less as I got closer to the inner portion of my eye.

To finish the eyes, I used the NYX eyebrow pencil to line my eyebrows, then I used the brush attached to blend the color.

For the lips, I applied two coats of Victoria's Secret Perfect Lipstick in Instick (Limited Edition)
