Step 1: Wash and moisturize! I used Origins Checks and Balances Frothy face wash and Origins GinZing Energy-boosting moisturizer. I also used their GinZing Refreshing eye cream for the dark circles under my eyes. I received all these products and more complimentary and free from Influenster for testing purposes. See my review of all the Origins products I got on Thursday!
Step 2: Prime! I used BECCA Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector.
Step 4: Concealer! I applied concealer under my eyes, along the bridge of my nose, to the center of my forehead and on my chin. Then "baked" with a translucent powder. I used Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer in the shade Biscuit and the Sacha Buttercup Setting Powder.
Step 5: Eyebrows! I unfornately ran out of my Benefit Goof Proof Brow pencil , so I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer in the shade Dark Brown, and the Benefit Ready, Set, Brow! 24-Hour setting gel to set them. Get Perks! See all active offers at Benefit Cosmetics.
Step 6: Eyes! I used the Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics Palette. (1)First I blended the color 'Lockout' into my crease as my transition color. (2)Then I blended the color 'Lethal' into my crease as well, focusing on the outer corner. (3)Then I applied the color 'Blackjack' directly into my crease, to create a semi-cut crease look. (4)I then applied the color 'Faith' all over my lid, and (5)the the color 'Pre Game' to my inner corner and brow bone.
Step 7: Powder. I dusted off the excess powder from "baking" using the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder in the shade Medium/Deep.
Step 8: Contour! I used Black Radiance True Complexion Creme Contour Palette in Medium to Deep. (1)Using a contour brush I applied the 'contour' shade to my hairline, along my cheekbones, along the sides of my nose, and to my jawline. (2)Using a smaller face brush, I applied the 'sculpt' shade above my brow bone, to my cheeks, to the bridge of my nose, and to my cupid's bow. (3)Lastly I applied to 'illuminate' shade to the apples of my cheeks, along the bridge of my nose, my forehead, and to my chin.
Step 10: Highlight! Using my BECCA Opal Glow on the Go Kit, I applied the Shimmering Skin Perfector right above the apples of my cheeks and along the bridge of my nose, and blended it out using my foundation brush. And then for added shine, I applied the Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed powder above the apples of my cheeks, along the bridge of my nose and to the tip of my nose using a fan brush.
Step 11: Set! I set my face using L'oreal Infallible Pro-Spray & Set Makeup Extender setting spray.
Step 12: Eyeliner and mascara! I used Black Radiance Eye Appeal Blending Pencil in shade Kohl Navy and the Black Radiance Body Building mascara.
Step 13: Lips! I used the Black Radiance Perfect Tone Matte Lip Color in the shade Mod Mocha.
