Do any of you have any suggestions on how I can make this look better?!

I used the Kat Von d chrysalis palette in glass wing in the crease as a transition. I also used morphe es24 in the crease as well. So it was a camel color and a brown with red tones.

I then placed KVD entombed on the lid which is a royal blue shade with a satin/sparkle finish. After that I blended. I then placed Mac blue brown pigment on top.

Finally, I used KVD melancholia as an inner corner highlight (which I think is too sloppy) and a little bit on my brow bone. Any suggestions on how to make this look better and also look nicer in photographs!
Oh yeah, I also used some of the morphe color on my waterline and then followed up with a blue eyeliner that I received in my ipsy bag!

Which Kat Von D palette is Entombed from? I love the idea of this. I do think that your inner corner highlight could be a little more precise, and that for your brow highlight you could've used a matte shade (I'm not a huge fan of sparkly brow highlights...unless I'm imagining this? The picture definitely looks sparkly to me) the other thing I'd suggest is to pull the transition shades around the outer corner as well to give the whole look a seamless, blended kind of feel. Right now the stop feels a little bit too abrupt, and I think that bringing the transition shades down and around the outer corner will really complete the look :) nicely done!

I've literally never even thought to bring the transition down and In the outer corner! (Still learning obviously!) thanks so much for your feedback- it's really helpful! I agree. I think the highlight is a bit much and there was a lot on my finger still so I just "wiped it off" on my brow bone! LOL! The entombed is from the chrysalis palette, it's beautiful! Got it on sale at JCpenny's sephora for $20! (Moderator Shelly told us about it!)

Hmm I'll have to go stare at my Chrysalis palette, then, I can't for the life of me remember that color! It's really pretty :)

But yeah I wouldn't change anything else, I think this look is really pretty and I'm happy to give feedback anytime :)

Thanks! It's the middle blue shade, although it does appear more vibrant in better lifting. I googled swatches to get the name of it because I'm at work! - but when I put Mac blue brown brown pigment on top it really made the color pop!

Ohhh okay, maybe in my head I'm picturing the navy blue which isn't glittery at all. Or else I'm going totally crazy, you never know!

Oops! Spelled it wrong! But ya here it is- I'm certainly not the best at describing colors either lol so I'm sure you're right!

I did this before my shower and was applying looks before this so most of my mascara came off and I didn't wanna reapply lol, thanks for you opinion though! I know that the inner corner is sloppy, as I mentioned initially :-)

I agree with literally everything Hannah said! Her words were spot on with my critique as well haha. I do love the look you were going for, though. I love the warm brown/reddish and blue color combo, so pretty.

I definitely think that the inner corner is messy and should've been cut down from the right and a little less on the bottom of the inner corner. Also, the base with the red and the blue should've been blended in more and you should've done a highlight under the brow for more definition. And the gold should move up a little more to the brow. The eyeshadow under your eye should have been done a little neater. I really hoped this helped and sorry if I sounded a little judgmental!

Thanks so much Jacqueline!! That's helpful, I've been doing windshield wiper so I'll have to try small circles upwards to blend more effortlessly!

Gorgeous! I think it looks much more completed. That pigment is so damn pretty! Also, I like your brows as is in their natural state, they have a good shape
