@gen B do you think I should have deepened the top lash line with an eye kohl?
Thank you for responding :)

@gen B , I will try to make it more intense on my next try. I used a nyx black jumbo pencil as the base & then patted the dark purple color (bottom right corner of palette) over top , it was supposed to be kind of a plum smokey eye. I am also scared of going super dark haha. I'm still learning & thank you for your feedback , I appreciate it :)
