How I glammed:

Prep: First, Natura Bisse Diamond Mist all over face.  Then Babe Lash Serum over eye lashes.  Then Koh Gen Do Makeup Color Base in "Pearl White".  

Face: Then, using It Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Complexion Perfection Brush #7, I applied It Cosmetics CC+ Cream in Medium, flipped the brush over and applied Chantecaille Total Concealer in "Cream" (discontinued and sold out which makes me sad) to my undereyes, bridge of nose, top of lip and chin, and between my eyebrows.  After this I used a giant powder brush to apply MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in shade "NC30" all over my face.  Then I used Diorskin Nude Air Glow Powder in "Fresh Light" on the contours of my cheekbones and nose.  Then, around the outer perimeter of my face (contouring), I used Fake Bake Beauty Bronzer-never on the center of my face-its WAY too dark!  Then I applied Trish McEvoy Translucent Finishing Powder to my under eye concealer with my Beauty Blender.  

Cheeks and Highlighters: For blush I used Chantecaille Cheek Shade in "Laughter" and highlighted with Anastasia Beverly Hills Aurora Glow Kit in shades "Eclipse" and "Luna"-just a little bit goes a long way.  I used Chantecaille Shine Eye Shade in "Perle" on the bridge of my nose, upper lip, and top of chin.  

Eyes: I started with Smashbox 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer.  All over the lid from brow bone to lash line, I used Chantecaille Shine Eye Shade in "Perle".  Then, on the lower lid I used Chantecaille Mermaid Eye Color in "Copper" topped with Chantecaille Iridescent Eye Shade in "Rose Gold".  I then lined the top lash line with Smashbox Always Sharp Waterproof Kohl Liner in "Raven". On top of the liner, I blended using Smashbox Eye Shadow in "Java".  I then moved on to my brows which fill in with Benefit's Precisely, My Brow Pencil in shade "3".  I then put a coat of Diorshow Mascara in Pro Black on my upper lashes and two or three coats to my bottom lashes.  After that dried, I applied my strip lashes-my signature is always two pairs of Ardell Demi 120 (If you get this pack, it comes with a handy tool that I use all the time to secure the lashes to my lash line)-I stick them together first (to create one pair of double lashes) and use Proclaim Super Bond Professional Formula Hair Bond Glue in White to adhere.  I found this hair glue does not irritate my eyes nearly as much as the Duo Lash Glue; in both the black and white formulas.  It is also WAY CHEAPER and comes in a giant .75 fl oz bottle to last you till the end of time.  

Lips: Buxom Cosmetics Full-On Lip Cream in "Sangria"
