Practice makes perfect!! Critiques please!

I would just practice blending your eyeshadow a little more and be cautious of the placement, it looks like your missing some color on the outer corner of your eye. Also, it looks as thought there's eyeliner as a small wing on your lash line but it looks gray to me and seems to come from nowhere, sorry if this makes no sense I'm horrible at explaining. Your under eye area looks very light and almost glittery, and in the last picture it looks like the lipstick is outside your lip line in certain areas, so maybe clean up after applying and use a Lipliner again to get that defined look. Is that your natural lip shape? It seems as if your cupids bow goes down in an upside down triangle shape , I'm not sure if this was on purpose or not! I love your lid color against your skintone , I don't have the Chrysalis palette but I've wanted it! What is the link to the videos you've been watching? I'd love to watch some!

Sarah, thank you so much! I'm trying my damnedest! Lol. What you said makes total sense. With the liner, it's a black shadow and I wanted to attempt a soft wing- mega fail I think Hahahahaha. The under eye glittery look probably is fallout from trick. With my lips I have like this little red dot naturally, if that makes sense. I do think I need to make the lips crisper, but I'm pretty sure it's my natural shape. I'll post a picture with no product on.

If you go to videos, then tutorials, she'll be right there!

I think you did great. Your skin looks amazing! And I see that awesome glow on it as well. I would just apply a tad bit of concealer on the under eye area towards the inner corner. Your skin looks amazing really.

The eyeshadow looks good too. You could maybe blend out the shadow a lil more but that's about it. The liner is good as well.

What I would change would be your lip color. I would go for a more neutral color. Maybe like a warmer pink or a light berry color.

And fill in your brows a lil bit more. Very natural as well.

Diego, in my first pictures I didn't fill in brows. I struggle with making them look natural when I do fill them in. I did apply concealer from inner corner to end (if that makes sense) I just have incredibly deep set eyes and natural circles that sometimes don't agree. I'll try to blend more with my shadows. Sometimes I feel like a red, but you're right, this look could've benefited from a neutral color.

I agree with Diego. I would fill in your brows lightly and add some concealer under your eyes. I love the lip color but it doesn't seem very summery to me.

I'm actually a fan of your natural brows. Have you looked into a brow gel? They can give a 'filled in clean look' for those whom don't need to be drawing on more hairs. I actually prefer my brow gel over my pomade since I don't have any sparse areas to begin with.

Diana does gorgeous make up, I definitely enjoy watching her videos.

Jackie, each time you try I see you try to use the critiques and I see your improvements! Way to go! I agree with the others about a different lippie, a very light touch to the brows. Maybe you should try a corrector before under eye concealer?

You should try correcting your dark circles. that always works.

As I stated in my post, I used Bobbi Browns corrector, as well as concealer

Hi jackie! Nice make up, I love your lip shape!! I read you used a concealer and I think I can help with two advices, first you should blend more your concealer, so it won't give that whitish look, second, I see you have genetic undereye circles (I have them too) so I suggest that when you apply the concealer you should go further and cover de "lines" that show the "limits" of your undereye circles, apply the concealer right there and blend carefully to give a natural look, you can also apply your concealer before your foundation. Hope it helps :)

I feel your pain Jackie. People telling me to use a corrector and concealer under my eyes... but I do!! If I didn't it would look like somebody punched me in the face lol. Nothing can cover them. The lady at the Bobbi Brown counter was at a loss about 6 layers in she was like, ummm I don't know what to do. They were corrected but caked with so much corrector it looked a hot mess:(

I actually find the pixi corrector from Target to work the best of the millions I've tried but even still the darkness creeps through somehow. I'd rather embrace my skin than suffocate it with 20 layers of product and look like a cake face lol!

Your cupids bow is actually really unique and cute btw.

Have tried any other brands besides Bobbi brown for correctors/concealers since that's not getting the job done

Jackie the last picture looks great! Lol its good you understand what I'm saying lol I have trouble with that sometimes. Omg I'm obsessed with your natural lip shape, I didn't know if it was natural or not. I agree with Kitty about your brows, a good brow gel would be all you need I love the shape I wouldn't change them & I prefer the last picture without the red lipstick honestly, maybe a pink or nude would look best! Such great improvement between the first pic and last, keep up the good work :)

I adore it but I would also suggest you blend your concealer better. Who is Diana C?

Everyone thank you so much for all of your suggestions. @kitty thank you so much. I'll look into a brow gel. Powders and pencils don't seem to like me lol. Any suggestions?
@tina, what a complement! Thank you!
@angela, why thank you :) I'll have to continue the search
@sarah. Thank you so much
@lisa I do blend, but maybe I need to warm up the product more? Diana C is a me member here who has amazing videos. She can be found on YouTube as easyneon
