Are you tired of looking at my mug beating yet?

[thebamker]

Because I'd like to know what you think about my blush (color and application) and today's eyes, which are only tight lined. Sorry to be a one note trombone lately, but you're really helping. If you care. Lol

[pantsparty]

Your blush could be placed a teensy bit higher (smile and apply and blend on the apples of your cheeks). A little lower lash definition would look good on you, maybe a medium or dark brown.

[eb777888]

I feel like the blush needs to be more blended.

[MWOS]

Application is good, but I think it's too brown. I want to see you with a pink!

Eyes look great!

Add a pink lip gloss or stain

Yes

[papie]

I don't like the blush. It needs to be more blended and on the cheekbones, not under.

[MWOS]

I don't mind blush a little lower. I have round chipmunk cheeks and if I put it up higher on my cheekbones my face looks bloated like a dead squirrel in a toilet.

your application needs work.

I'm listening...

[meggers5]

Is the blush brown toned? You should get a nice bright pink or coral. Nothing muddy.

Ditto the application needing to be higher.

[poppyseed]

Ditto a pinker blush and it needs to be higher. One thing that helps me is to smile a little when I'm putting it on.

I discovered after watching a bunch of youtube vids that I do not have a decent blush brush.  I plan to remedy that today

by 'blending' do you mean just to rub it around more, or actually blend it with a different product?

[ralphlauren]

Place your blush higher.  Are you wearing anything on your lips?

[Kit]

I would blend the blush better, and add mascara. You have pretty eyes, make them pop!

[thebamker]

I ordered the blush you guys told me to get, but I won't have it until tomorrow. right now I'm just trying to find the right GD place to put it. lol

am I the most pathetic person you know?

Just rub it around more. A good brush will definitely help. I like my blush so it just looks like my nautral "blush." It should just blend right into the skin so you can't see the blush edges.

Yes- smile and find the apple, then blend a little upward onto the cheek bone. 

I think if you curl your lashes you'll see them more.

You need a big brush so nothing looks streaky or obvious.

[fuckyourcouch]

you just need to blend it in better, so it looks more natural than like "i put pigment here".

also i agree it should be more of a coral/pink color.

just chapstick.  I know I need something, I've got some great pink glosses that look good. 

[fuckyourcouch]

oh and i can see your mascara. you need undereye liner as well, i think. not raccoon style, just to give some definition.

[eb777888]

I personally think the eyes look good and really natural. And when I try to take pictures of my eye make-up it always looks heavier than what's showing up in the pictures.

Oh, and if you're not wearing gloss, I'd put on lip gloss.

That's ok - try a second coat! I wear mascara and one coat does NOTHING for me.  I need two.  In fact, many women do!

[thebamker]

Ok - on these two videos I watched last night, they were saying that if you have an oval face, you don't want blush on your apples. Obviously they could be wrong, but that is what I was trying to do.

See how my bottom lashes are so sparse?  when I do a bottom liner, I feel like it looks like an actual line and just accentuates that.  I will try this and report back for your review

Blush more on the apples of the cheeks. And I think the color is a little too brown/dark.

I like your eyes, but I feel like if you gave them some definition in the form of a little bit of liner, they'd be amazing. Just on the outer half of the top lid, outer half of the lower. (That's how I do mine, anyway; I'm makeup-deficient, so I default to my own applications. lol.)

can I see a closeup of your eye?   I've always liked them from afar, I want to see what you're doing.

nooooo with the liner suggestions.

i'm of the opinion that too much liner at this age will make you look older. JMO. i think your eyes look great as is.

all my research on hooded eyes told me that I should not have liner high than, or touching the natural hood line.  obviously, you can see I don't get much room.  I only lined my direct lash line today and I feel like my eyes look bigget than they did yesterday.  I find it odd that letting a tiny piece of skin can make such a difference, but whatever works.

[meggers5]

I'm dittoing LHC's liner suggestion. I do mine the same way. Just the outer halfs, and I don't connect them.

I would stay away from black though. I think brown would be better. Black often looks harsh, as evidenced by my face today.

This is the only one I have w/out taking a photo at my desk.  It's from the londoner parody blog, but I think you can see the liner pretty well.  I don't know if it makes me look older or not.  lol.

your eyes are so dynamic and round. I love them. I don't think we have the same shape (or hood - lol)
