Thank you so much! I definitely think I have improved in certain aspects, but totally see where I struggle lol. I've been watching a lot of Diana (@easyneon) videos. She blends like a master! But then I'll be thinking "oh I need that shade, that brush etc". But I have to work with what I have! Maybe I'll try a new look tomorrow!

I've never watched her but hey if she's helping you out that's great, keep pushing. I can't wait to see another look. :)

Another great tip is to look at the color wheel, let's say you have applied purple and yellow... a bit difficult to blend as they are across from each other, I usually pick out a color that's in between (so lets say orange) and it helps a whole lot with blending.

If you use yellow as a base color then overlay purple on top then transition flow with a peach light orange color like Nanogold or Straw Harvest it becomes a beautiful look for sure. ;)

This is how I apply and get and get a good blended shadow look. Apply the darkest shadows in the crease first, pack the lighter color on eyelid, then use a fluffy eye shadow brush to gently blend. Where you hold the brush can effect application, try holding your brush further from the bristles (don't choke the brush). Use a light touch when applying makeup it is easier to add more pigment than to take away. Most of all continue to play and practice! Hope this helps!
