I watch SO many makeup tutorials on YouTube and the girls do it so beautifully and make it look so easy. But every time I try with the looks all the colors just seem to blend together. And when I try to do my crease it always turns out terrible. Any tips?(:

Are you using the right brushes? Like for your crease, use a crease brush with a light hand and slowly build on the products :)

Hmm well I'm a bit shaky so I lean my hand on something maybe try different colours practise and put a primer or concealer on first also add a nude base coat always helps me tbh that's all I can tell you does it help you in anyway x?

I don't want to spend a lot on brushes so I try to find ones just like Mac and I think I've found some good ones.. But maybe I've been using too much product when I start. Ill keep trying! Thanks(:

I honestly think it just takes practice. when I started really getting into makeup, it took me a while to perfect it. and when I blend colors together I lightly blend only where the colors meet not the whole thing. if that makes sense. lol I mean that works for me but everyone has their own techniques

Yeah I understand haha(: I try to get as much visual aid as I can I guess so that's why I watch all those videos:p but ill keep trying ill probably get it eventually. Plus I don't have the best products I just try to get what isn't too expensive so the quality isn't always too great.

Use a light hand, and use the right brushes as the other girls mentioned.

Know where your crease is and what shades to put where- Lightest on inner, middle shade in middle and darkest on crease and outer v.

Don't blend your shadows too much, I used to always make this mistake and that makes it look muddy and wrong.

Oh, you don't need a mac brush! Others work just as fine :) I would look into elf. They have great products and they're extremely affordable. Also, they have tons of sales most of the time from 50% off select items to free shipping on orders over $25 :)

Look us goss makeup on YouTube. He has really good eye makeup tutorials for beginners. Start with the eye shape one. It tells you how to find tutorials that are right for you.

Especially when I do my crease it helps for me to take my brow bone highlighter and go all the way down my crease then build with my crease color. Goes on smoother than when it goes directly on the skin. Smoother finish.

Don't put a lot of color first. You can alway build to the shade you want. And make sure you use the right brushes. There are some cheap ones on amazon.
