Hi guys! I am new and need opinions!

[jbcox2002]

So I am new to this cosmetic world. I used to just use the bare essentials until about a month ago and have been practicing. Now, because I am new I do not have many colors and I SWEAR when I was doing this I didn't mean to use Christmas colors

BUT just need opinions on this...mostly if it looks like I applied correctly, any suggestions on different eye color's etc. Plus how in the world do you guys take such pretty eye pictures!! I took me about 30 min just to get these 4 shitty ones!! :lol

The colors I used here are Meadow, coppering and Satin Taupe with stubborn brown eye pencil and Coal black pro lash. I also used Clinique warm brown brow keeper eye pencil.

The only other colors I have are
Sketch, Naked Lunch, Mythology, Retro Speck and tempting. Any advice, critisism, compliments (if any

) are all welcome and encouraged!! I don't get angry unless someone is just flat out rude 8)

Thank you in advance!! Any help is greatly appreciated!

Oh, and I forgot to add this is obviously just for fun, clubbing nights, parties etc. I could also use ideas for day wear colors as well as business wear (I work in a bank)
Thanx again!

I am by no means an expert but the one thing that I would suggest is to practice blending your shadow more. It's a hard thing to do. And it definitely takes practice and patience to get comfortable with it.

Thank you! I thought I had blended but I guess I am not sure what that is, or how to do it correctly. Could you elaborate?

Thank you!!

you absolutely have a great start if you're just beginning

i agree with aziajs, blending is a huge thing. you can make anything work with the right blending

it's pretty much where you soften the lines between the different coloured shadows. you can do it with your fingertips, q-tips or cottonballs and just diffues the edges of the shadows into each other...if that makes any sense hah. i'm not really good at explaining things

for an everyday look, you might be able to do a kind of smoky eyes thing with retrospeck and naked lunch. that would be fabulous, i think

Thank you so much!! I made a stab at better blending today...I will be posting these in FOTD as well, but thought here would be good to ask opinions on if this is better....Thanx!!!

LOL...that is probably the best explanation of blending that I have heard. I couldn't have answered the so eloquently.

I love the green look.. but theres something bugging me.. Dont get me wrong..I am not being rude....Instead of maybe doing the green all the way up to the brow... I would have stopped it a little lower, and used a very shiny white in the place...right up to the brow. (like Frozen white or frost pigment) I think its because your eyes are green like mine that I notice the green more.
Just my opinion..
But I do love it though!!
