I wish I was as good as most of you with my makeup. Eyeshadow especially. It just doesn't come out looking fabulous and it really irks me. I know it takes practice but I've been using makeup for years now. I'm so bothered by this. I try doing multiple colors and blending it to look nice but the colors just blend into one and you can't even tell there's different ones.

Try for practice, black and white or so, two totally different collors. And don't use your applying pencil, as your blending pencil!! Thats very important, because other wise, the collors will blend not as nice as you want them ;-)

Don't beat yourself down. I started wearing makeup when I was 14, and barely got the hang of things this past year.. Oh and I'm 23! Haha, you'll eventually find what's best for you and what techniques work well with you and which ones don't. You got this, girl! Don't worry about it. I just we t through your photos and you're gorgeous as is without the loads of eyeshadow! Fresh face and everything 😘

Thats one of my favourite quotes and it definetly applies to you! Nobody starts out being a perfect makeup artist. It takes practice. Go to mac or sephora for them to show you what to do, watch lots of tutorials, and lastly ask questions here and to your friends!

Thanks guys. Maybe a primer will help as well? I've never used it before.
