Cab, so pretty! Okay ladies who were interested, here is an updated picture. I tried eyeliner. I bought a kohl eyeliner and i think i'm going to try and oil based one intstead, trying to get a smoother line. I also went with purple to bring out my green eyes and be a little lighter for daytime. Also i used a lip stain with gloss on top and i also tried using a beauty blender.
Sorry my pic is huge and apparently when i focus i have a mean face. Go figure

bina you have beautiful skin. I think your makeup looks good. I think a pro eyebrow shaping would make a huge difference in your overall look, but other than that I think it's great.
Cab do you do makeup on the side for weddings and events? Your skills need to be showcased! Do you use a brow outline thing or do you just have awesome brow shape already? I'm trying to grow mine out so they can look better with powder/pencil.
Bare minerals on face and blush. Naked 3 on eyes. Smash box plum liner and mascara.
I still adore your hair. (heart) Also, which Naked 3 colors did you use? I am always hesitant to try to use a dark color to make a V on the outer corners of my lid, but that looks so nice. I feel like it always looks sloppy when I try.

I used Burnout all over. I used Buzz in the creases liberally and then I used Darkhart to darken the creases a bit. But I used it very minimally and then blended in with more Burnout and Dust. I don't really know what I'm doing to be honest. Haha. So far this is best it's turned out and I spent a fair amount of time on it to make sure each side as even. It's hard than it looks!
Yeah my biggest problem is getting both eyes to look the same.

I need constructive criticism from eye makeup gurus. I tried doing a dark v in the corner today and, meh. I feel like it's not at all defined and just a big sloppy blob. Here are some pics. @legalbritt
I have on a lid color, crease color, highlight under brows, and then an unblended V.
Blended and with liner and mascara. Just looks like a blob to me now, but it looked weird to me less blended.
Eyes - Naked 3, Sephora liquid liner in glitter khaki, Cover Girl clump crusher mascara. Face - Pur minerals CC, Revlon colorstay pressed powder, Dior shimmer powder in rose diamond Lips - NARS Scarlet Empress with some random gloss on top that no longer has a label. I think it might be Burts Bees.

You did it right, but your eye lids are deep set, which is probably why you think it looks like a "blob." It looks really well done and compliments your eye shape nicely.
Huh, and all this time I thought I was doing something wrong. Thanks!

I am a lurker but I just wanted to post a B&A of my daily look. It seems like a lot of product to get a natural look. :? Products used: Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Misha 21 BB Cream NARS Blush in Orgasm Diorskin Shimmer Star in Rose Diamond on my cheekbones UD eyeshadow in Maui Wowie, Chopper and Polyester Bride Sephora Contour Eye Pencil in Cocoa Diorshow Exctase Mascara- top lashes only NARS Light Reflecting Loose Setting Powder NARS Dolce Vita lipstick
Not sure, to be honest! It'd been pretty dark for a while and for a few months I went to a warmer and lighter brown, but went back recently. Can't remember when I last posted a picture to say with confidence!

I'll actually do two pictures today. One without makeup and one with. And no, the darkness around/under my left eye is not that bad. And this was the only lighting that didn't show my butterfly shaped redness over my nose.

It's really difficult to take a face pic without feeling like a complete dork. Products used: Clinique BB cream shade 3 Blush/bronzer from Lorac sweet romance palette Eyebrow pencil is nyx in taupe UDPP Shadows are from an elf little black book palette- it's a blend of a shimmery white, royal blue and dark grey. Liner is urban decay highline and perversion on waterline Mascara is buxom Lipgloss is UD lip junkie in wallflower
Is the UD gloss sticky? I'm really picky about gloss and hate when it's sticky but love this color you're wearing!
Face is revlon photoready BB cream in fair, revlon cream blush in berry. My usual hard candy glamoflage concealer. Eyes are from naked 3: crease is mugshot, lid is buzz, inner corner is dust, brow highlight is stranger, and liner is darkside. Mascara is cover girl flamed out. Lips are chapstick.
