First FOTD with the "Tape" Trick!

[ThePostcardOrg]

really pretty! Your blending is great!

It's pretty. I think if the colors are blended so beautifully on the lids (which yours always are!) then there's nothing wrong with a sharp edge on the outside!

One thing I gotta say about the tape trick... Please pleeeease use "sign here" post it flags instead of regular old tape. The adhesive is meant to stick over and over without tearing paper off so it doesn't tug the crap out of the gentle skin around your eyes, but it sticky enough to adhere to your skin and not take hardly any makeup off with it.

You look gorgeous, I love the way you do your eyes

 

[Hilly]

You did a great job on this!!

Hey, lovely application and great blending

I really like the lips too!

I personally really do not like the tape method nor the finish it gives (not directed at ur look) I think it looks too harsh esp on ppl with bigger eyes - for them the line can be too high and it kinda creates an 'unfinished' unblended look.

The more blended and soft the outer v is, the more softer, sexy and defined the eye look (IMO). I think thats all I'd notice when looking at the persons face/MU - that line.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That's exactly what I was thinking when I had the tape on! It was tugging at the skin at the side of my eyes and when I pulled the tape off, it was one step shy of peeling a bandaid off your arm!! I KNEW there had to be a better option!

I love the colors, they go so well with your skin tone! And your brows are super groomed! Very nice

WOW!! This is just gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!! I LOVE neutrals so this is the perfect look.

I wouldn't think it's too harsh. I noticed the lines only when you called attention to them. Perhaps just blending them out will solve the problems? Regardless, you look gorgeous!

You look so pretty. I love this look. I've tried to do it but I take the outer V too in and screw it all up.

 

[pyxystixx]

BTW, this inspired me to go out and buy Gesso. Thanks, cuz I love it.

[Gonzajuju]

Beautiful! I love the color combo you used.

 

[michieme]

Looks very clean at the sides, going to try that one myself

 

[cyanidewine]

I really like a dramatic eye and harsh lines, so I love this! I don't think it looks to harsh since the colors are really soft, plus its always fun to try something different =]
