Application:
I gently applied my liquid foundation onto the skin using my Coastal Scents flat top brush. I used this in a stippling motion and then swirled to buff in the foundation. Then, I applied the blemish concealer, blending it with my fingers, and the undereye concealer, which I apply with a fluffy angled brush from EcoTools. After that, I applied my bronzer and blush. With both of those products I used the EcoTools blush brush. I applied the bronzer to the temples, the hollows of the cheeks, and a light dusting on my nose. The blush I placed toward the back of the cheek and then brought forward, using a light hand. After getting the face finished I moved on to the eyes. I applied the NYX jumbo pencil directly to my eye from the lashline to the crease and then blended it out with my finger. Then, I applied the Mink color all over using a flat shader brush. Following that, I applied Adobe all throught my crease with a fluffy brush, and then Cinnabar just in the outer V with the same fluffy brush. Oh, and I also took a little bit of bamboo on my finger and ran that lightly under the brow and in the inner corner. Then, I lined my upper and lower water lines with the eyeliner and applied my mascara. Next came a good layer of lipstick, and then I applied the lipgloss mostly to the center of my lips.

I really like this look! Despite how difficult and time consuming it sounds from the above description, it is really not hard at all and is very quick. With me being a college student, quick and pretty is my goal, and I think it is achieved pretty well here! I hope you like it as well!
