I like it, do you have a picture close up with your eyes open?
I love the more pop of color on the lower lash and how it all ties into the red lips :)

I don't know why but I prefer you without a winged liner! Your eyes are so, so pretty naturally it almost takes away from that/doesn't add much. But that's just from my point of view. I like more natural looks in general. That lippie is lovely!! How does the lip color apply? Is it dry? Soft? Transfer easily?

I am in love with how you winged your liner. I can't see the blending too much because I'm on my phone not a PC and I can't zoom in.

@Kim, Thank you!
@Marcy Thanks so much!
@Lorelle :)
@Alyx I just took this picture (Attached) please excuse the lighting. I've been really loving the addition of a pop of color (Thank god for my Electric palette!)
@Danielle As you can see from this picture also, the lip color is now more of a stain (it's been on for about 8.5 hours). However, I'm not sure if this is 100% because of the lip pencil or because of the lipcote (I have a feeling it's a mixture of both). It is soooo easy to apply, although I find that after several uses and as the tip dulls it becomes slightly more challenging to get a straight lip line. Super soft and creamy! It does transfer though.

I love stains. If it wears off you can slap gloss on ; )

Omg your skin looks amazing btw 💕

@danielle thank you so much! I've been struggling with liking my skin. I find that up close my forehead has little bumps and I have massive horizontal lines. Plus big pores. Glad it looks good here!!

Honestly I would go without a wing and make the brows a little bolder! Looks very nice.

May 18, 2016

Jackie S.

@ Chelle thanks so much!
Madison. Thank you. I actually have nothing on my brows. Whenever I do I never like how they look. I think you and Danielle may be right about the wing. I want it to work, to give an extra oomph to my eye, but think of be better without.

May 18, 2016

Madison S.

Your eye shape looks good with/without the wing so go with what makes you happy! And your brows are very naturally nice but I would fill them a little but thats just me, if you love it that's what matters and I looks great!

You are getting so much better at your blending! Way to go!

@Tina thank you soooo much!! That means a lot! Been trying my darnedest!!

I've tried doing wings or anything with a little drama and it's just too much. Sometimes us girls that look better more natural just need a pop of color on the lips ; )
I semi-gave up on dramatic anything. Lol

Your eyes are so pretty girl you should play around with some shadows that will emphasize them even more.

It looks really good! Looks blended ans everything. I also have to add I have the lip pencil as well, and it lasts all day. It's much like a creamy thick moisturizing stain lol. Its not transfer resistant though, even after blotting. But it stays all day and I find it's super easy to remove if any smudges on the skin. Like I wore it and then ended up eating a burger later that night, and got some on my chin, and I was expecting a huge red mark left from it, but it smudged away completely off my skin without leaving a big blotch of redness

Fantastic!! Xx

@Danielle you are so right! As much fun as dramatic looks are, I realize less is sometimes more. Also those are the times my bf has no critiques lol. When I wear heavy makeup (rarely) he's like pretty but... Lol
@Adahli thank you! I'm thinking of busting out my Chrysalis palette soon to show it some love!
@Alyx thanks girl! Blending had been a focus of mine even though I have like no brushes lol. The pencil is great! I couldn't remember if I ever wore it on its own without the lipcote, but I think you're right!
@Rachel, thank you!!

Hey Jackie, do you have any recommendations on palettes with gold and bronze colors and of course mattes etc.for dimension. I posted and no one commented/saw it. I have one urban decay palette and I don't love the texture..from what I'd hear Lorac might work for me but maybe it's just my sad attempt at blending haha
I love your look with the gold eyes and pink lips on your profile!!

May 19, 2016

Jackie S.

Aww thanks Danielle!! I used Makeup Geek shadows with that look. I bit the bullet when everyone was talking about those shadows. OMG they are fantastic! They have premade palettes, or you can do your own with a Z palette (or their travel palette like I did). The gold in my pic is a foiled shadow called Magic Act and I want it allllll over my lids and face...and body lol. It's amazing. If you want all mattes, I really like my Stila In the Know palette. Hope this helps! If you want swatches, let me know!

I have been eyeballing those z palettes. I think I'm fine without swatches. I have somewhere to look now and do my research. Thanks!
