Work on your eyeliner! :) your lips look great. But for sure practice and practice that eyeliner, maybe go on YouTube to watch some videos.

The eyeshadow it very colorful lol. If you love those colors then I would suggest blending them more for sure.

Looks really good for a first time! :) now, I'm not a "professional", but I would blend the two colors (which are really cute btw) together a little more and add a transition color above the crease, then a creamy white under the arch of your brow for hi light:) what eyeliner do you use?

Well instead of the colors kind of being just like bam pink and the bam blue right on top. Blend the two a little

It looks like the blush was applied to your entire cheek. I suggest watching YouTube videos, such as Michelle Phan.

Love it :) to be honest I always play it safe haha so I'm more into neutral colors, try soft browns and beiges :) I'll send a pic of one I did with neutrals. I absolutely love your color scheme though!! I'm just scared I'll mess up if I use bright colors haha. Definitely work on blending and if your a beginner try a pencil liner (if that isn't already pencil liner lol I can't tell)

Okay honest opinion: it's an okay start but the look can be vastly improved with a few steps:
-the makeup looks a bit too color blocked. It needs some dimension and a bit more complexity
-I think it would be more flattering if the blue was on the lid.
-it needs a transition color. Which is basically a color that helps whatever color shadow you're using blend better with your natural skin color. You blend it really well above the crease and below the brow bone. I was use an orange brown no matter what look I'm doing. (I use MAC Raizin blush) this step is so essential to me. Especially when working with bright colors.
-the colors look a bit chalky. Make sure to use a good base.
Don't use concealer (unless it's one that doesn't crease) with brights I use the nyx jumbo pencil in milk. So the colors come out vibrant. Also use a dense synthetic brush on the lid for Better color pay off.
- I would take a concealer or foundation on a small brush and sculpt our the bottom of your brow then set it with a matte cream color on the brow bone.
-a darker blue can go in the crease to add more depth. Blend it ('not too far up) and add that pink in the edges of the smoked out blue
-liner,you can stabilize your hand on a flat surface. Touch it up to make sure it's no jagged lines. The wing is supposed to point more upward(use your lower lash line as the guideline to extend the liner upward more.
-the lipcolor isn't that flattering. I would go with a more natural lip

Thanks for the tips Symone but I agree this wasn't like a thought put look I just picked out the colors and did something I didn't use all my expensive products either.. I didn't want to waste my concealer , base etc.I just wanted to see how I could do with a few things instead of all the other things I have also I know the gloss doesn't look that great but thank you for the tips I'll remember and when I really do a full face I'll keep them in mind I'm still beginning so it'll only get better
