my very first FOTD

[pinkyjolie]

Hi everyone! I'm new here, been lurking around for a few days just admiring everyones posts. i've been tom boy basicaly my whole life and am slowly getting girly, never wore makeup before in my life except for proms up until last week. and now i'm wearing mac for the first time ever. i dont know how decent it looks compared to everyone else, but i think its quite nice considering i dont have any brushes anymore i'm waiting for them to come in the mail, grr.
so here it is, any suggestions to help me are greatly appreciated and welcome.
i used Golder's Green and Night Light pigments
Maybelline great lash mascara and unstoppable eye liner.
Bare Minerals foundaition in medium beige and soft focus warmth
and lip venom gloss that i had recieved a sample for a few months ago.

with glasses

and without

okay i stink at trying to take a picture of just my eyes, SORRY!

and how do i get my eyelashes to not stick together and look all clumpy when i wear mascara. i hate it.

I love the green.

As far as your lashes, you can comb them out.

Your lining is exceptional for a beginner! Very nice liner/color combo.

You can buy a "spoolie" brush and comb out your lashes after you apply mascara. I also use the spoolie brush to groom my brows after I apply MAC's browset. My suggestion for you would be just that - focus on the brows as much as you do the eyes, it helps bring the entire FOTD together as well as frame & enhance those big gorgeous hazel eyes.

Great job!
Your bottom lashes are so long, it looks like you curled them under

I agree with the brows, fill em in with powder or a pencil. There is a thread in the tutorial section on how to do them if your not sure.

A highlighter right under the brow would be good too. But I think you did VERY WELL! especially to be using only q-tips, i'll be scared of you when you get some brushes girl!

You look REALLY good with this! I am excited to see more from you

I'm a newbie too so I know where you're coming from

I so agree with the comments above. You did great!

Such big beautiful eyes. Luv the color combo. It's hard to believe you're a newbie at makeup. I agree w/a lot of the comments. A lot of the time, I practice with different eye looks before actually wearing them in public. I luv experimenting! And I just can't believe you did such a great job using q-tips! Just think what you'll accomplish when you get those brushes!
