Products-
MAC Strobe cream: perfect for prepping the skin and making it look radiant
Tarte Amazonian clay 12-hour Full Coverage Foundation: I used a light layer of this on all the spots that needs extra coverage! Its great for long school days because it does not budge.
Charlotte Tilbury The Retoucher: When used in a triangle under the eyes, stripes on the forehead and on the chin, the concealer adds so much light into your face while covering those pesky dark circles.
Sephora Contouring 101 Face palette: This is a great product for easy contouring! I only used the lightest brown for some subtle definition under her cheek bones.
Tarte Poppy Picnic Palette: I only used the blush form this palette. It is a beautiful shimmery golden peachy pink! Perfect for giving a little touch of color!
Hour Glass Ambient Lighting Palette: I only used the middle shade. It is the perfect highlighting shade! The glow from it is natural and so beautiful!
Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise in Marie Antoinette: I put a light layer of this on the lids for a little bit of color! It's so easy to apply and looks great!
Bourjois Bronzing powder: I used this in the crease of her eyes to add a bronzed look while defining them.
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Zero: I smudged this along the lash line to add even more definition to the eyes. I also softened it with a brush.
Bobbi Brown Everything Mascara: I added a few coats on her lashes. I love this mascara, as it says, it does everything.
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Liner in Pillow Talk: Great lip liner to add a fuller and more defined shape! I slightly overlined her top lip.
MAC Syurp lipstick: natural rosy lustre lipstick! Perfect for everyday

Beauty Blenders are makeup sponges that are very different from the disposable ones. They are made from a special exclusive material that works best when damp. It gives a streak free application because there's no edge on the blender like on a regular sponge. The beauty blender also minimizes product waste because, when the sponge is wet, the molecules leave no room for it to absorb into the sponge. The blender is in an egg shape, so you can get into smaller areas as well as bigger.
There are a couple different types of beauty blenders. The original is for foundation, powder, cream blush/bronzer, and BB/CC creams. The pure sponge is for eye creams, face cleansers, primers, and serums. The pro sponge is used for long wearing makeup and self tanner. The last kind is the micro.mini for concealer, highlighter, and contouring. All of these sponges can be used with all types of products. It seems odd to have powder on a damp sponge but it applies it evenly and the water in the sponge helps the powder look natural against the skin.
The best way I've found to use my beauty blender is to submerge it in water then squeeze all the water out (it will still be damp and expand). With liquid products I apply them to my face first then bounce/dab the sponge over my face to spread the product and blend it. With cream products I dab the sponge in the product and then use the sponge the same way as the brush (but being sure not to drag the sponge because that doesn't give a real skin look). For powders I place the sponge in the products and roll the bigger end over my face. All of my ways of application give a light coverage but can be built up. One other way I use my sponge is, once all my makeup is done, I dab and roll it over my face to make the powders look like real skin rather than a caky powdery look.
You should clean your beauty blender after a week or so and replace it, at the latest, in 2 months. There are a few ways to clean it. First using some olive oil and baby shampoo to massage the product out of the sponge. The brand also sells cleansers that wok really well, like the liquid and the solid cleanser.
Hopefully my insight on the beauty blender helped! I recommend it to everyone!
