Wowzers, you are really talented. I can’t be that precise in my eye makeup application. I make a mess each and every time. But you know, I keep on trying. I watch lots of videos and still end up looking like I have a black eye, except in fanciful colors. I wonder what my students think.

What brushes are you using? I find that having good brushes makes a huge difference to how eyeshadow goes on. I should mention that the images here were not the first attempt — I think I re-did it three times before I got it to look like that. Keep trying with the videos; I only recently figured out how to apply eyeshadow the best way for my eye shape, and that makes a big difference as well. A lot of the videos I tried to copy before were done by people who have different shaped eyes from mine, which meant the looks never *quite* worked on my eyes. See if you can find videos done by someone who has similar eyes to you — that really helped me figure out where exactly I needed to put the shadow.

I’ve not read Hunger Games yet (although they sound good–kind of like Running Man, too) but this is just ridiculous.

(I see why the nail polishes are a Very Bad Idea, though.)

I also [heart] Sleek, although what I do not [heart] is their shipping to the US from the UK. Ouch. And, of course, the memory of the giant Facebook sale disaster is still quite fresh in my mind.

Uh, so THAT was helpful. Not.
