Okay, I have to be honest with you guys. I may seem like a "girl's girl" for the most part....but I'm really kind of not. Confession: I don't really know how to put on make-up. I dabble a bit and am able to do what's necessary for me to look nice when stepping out, but really, I have no real skill and I find it a bit intimidating.
I've been slowly making an effort to learn get better, and when I was sent this Studio Gear Smoky Eye Holiday palette, I has happy to have something else to practice with. This palette truly has everything you need to achieve the perfect smoky eye, and I love how it comes with "instructions" of sorts. It definitely came in handy!
By the way, the blush color is PERFECT. I may make this my go-to blush.

ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteI'm the same way when it comes to makeup. I can make it acceptable to go out but have no idea how to really apply.
ReplyDeleteI think you did great.
Thank you. I'm going to try to start putting more effort into learning. I'm not getting any younger. lol
Deleteyou look fab! I always attempt a smoky eye, but it never turns out as planned haha -- hope you're doing well :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm great. Hope you are the same.
DeleteNot bad for a first try. It looks good but you could have gone heavier on the "smoke" lol, flash and all ;)
ReplyDeleteI am bad with eyeshadow and blush. I do ok with everything else but those two smh.
Check out this guy on youtube ... I think his name is Gossmakeupartist. I am sure a google search will find him for you easily. He is very good at explaining how to put on makeup especially for beginners!
You're right--I probably could have gone heavier. I was just scurred! lol
DeleteI'll be sure to google that guy. I need all the help I can get!

Thank you!! Yes, instructions are ALWAYS appreciated. lol
DeleteIt's actually a really good attempt! Flash and all. I think it's a nice clean smokey eye, nothing overly dramatic. Sweet and subtle.
ReplyDeleteI am a sucker for the smokey eye look but these days I fail at perfecting it.
Good luck! I'm sure you'll master it in no time.
