[Krasevayadancer]

She looks so soft and pretty! Great job!

 

[amyzon]

Thank you guys!!! I'm glad you think I did her justice. She really is a good canvas to work with

I'm so jealous of those HUGE brown eyes. I hope she trusts me enough to let me try stuff out on her in the future now, hehe.

Btw, holy crap... contouring is... amazing stuff. I don't know if the pictures really convey it well, but her cheeks, nose and chin looked really good! (she's always been a lil self conscious about her nose). It really is a good skill to learn.

I think she could have used just a little bit more definition on the top lashline. But I think you did a reaally good job.

You did a great job!

Actually I usually don't line the top lashline when I do smokey looks. I would have lined the waterlines, but she has a SEVERE tearing reaction to having anything that close to her eye and actually can't tightline on herself either, which sucked.

I have a friend like that too, I never tightline on her, she can thankfully do it herself. But I make her roll her eyes as far up and back and she can when I do her lower lashline. It helps a lot.
The look just seems a little bit unbalanced and I think that having even just a small amount of something on the top would have pulled the look up and open. Right now it seems to be pulling her eyes downward, making her look somewhat sad.

you did a great job. this is the perfect look because it's so simple, so not too far out of her comfort zone.

 

[Sexy Sadie]

Wow. Great job!

 

[jollystuikie]

[Tahti]

Wow. Really? Sad?

I really didn't see that at all. I tried to lift the color in the outer corners to avoid that. I'll take your advice and line the top next time.

She really does! And also the LOWEST self-confidence of anyone I know!!! And no reason for it - this girl got gastric bypass recently and has lost 60 lbs since Feb! She has every reason to feel like an effin' knockout!! Ty! They ARE! And they are SO cheap. I hate paying so much for scrubs grrrr...

Ty, very much Wannabe Junkie!

 

[cupcake_x]

She looks great

I love the colors you used on her.

 

[Holy Rapture]

Wow, you really did a wonderful job .... She's so adorable and man, she looked awesome after the MO .... I love how you kept everything neutral and that seemed to have lifted her confidence somewhat ...

 

[amyzon]

I am so aggrevated...

Alicia's "frenemy" told her that the makeup makes her face look wider!! WTF?! I contoured the hell out of that girl's face and I thought I really made her cheekbones pop and slimmed her face overall!!! And she said oh I hate the eyes, I think your eyes look better when you do them yourself. Uuuugh haters just aggrevate the crap out of me. I have been working on my makeup skills for years and I'm not talking down about my friend because she's not good at applying makeup but it's pretty obvious at least to me that my look was better than her day to day application. This girl is so jealous of her and also I think of how good she looked in the pictures.

I hate when girls are bitches and treat each other like this!! I'm glad in this community we have respect for each other and are enough secure enough in ourselves to compliment each other and promote self confidence!
