Another...I know I probably blended the blue too high in outer corners so it has the winged shape instead of rounded.

It actually looks a lot better in person for blending lol but definitely need critiques.

Hi Jessica, that is a good try at your first smokey eye.I think the black should be a bit more smoked out and the lighter color applied right at the crease to help fade and blend into the black and dragged a little bit on the bottom lash line but other then that your getting it. :-)

Thanks alma. do you use a gel at all?. as I'm becoming an old hag my brows are becoming so unruly! yours look so in control. ;-)

Alma M.

LOL Old hag no way, your funny.I'm not a gel user not a fan of the finish it gives off a gleam look if that makes sense.I spray my spooly with some hair spray count to ten then brush it on to set my brow hair in place then help shape my brow with the pencil then brush again then use a angle brush to apply the powder in strokes then lightly brush again with spooly.

Lol.

and yes the shiny/glean definitely makes sense. or sometimes it even flakes too.
the hairsprat spooky makes sense..
I'm using maybelline clear mascara. I wipe majority off between two finger, like squeeze and swipe n brush them out, kind of shape with the brush.. sometimes I brush them out after it dries. but most times I don't lol.
so I guess essentially that's kinda similar.. hmm. something to think about.

Typos are a pain lol sounds like your doing the same, do you add color?

Jan 4, 2014

Naomi S.

No color. they are pretty full. already. but in my efforts to diminish the haggyy'ness I'm trying to b conscious not to over trim and tweeze. I'll post pic from the other day to show you my brows

They look very nice Naomi I don't see an issue.Your very pretty, What is the color of your blush? I like the finish.

Jan 4, 2014

Naomi S.

Thk you. :)
you kno we're our own worst critics. ;-)
the blush is one of the new blush sticks by maybelline. this is the hot pink one.. this was the first day I tried it. I like it too! I think better than the nyx one I have like it and definitely better than the dream bouncy. although I wish they made a lilac.
