I found this picture online a while ago, I love the way her makeup is done. I've spent the last little while trying to replicate it, but no matter how much I practice it looks patchy. I've tried blending the best I can, but I was wondering if anyone has any tips that would help me out? :) anything is appreciated!

Are you using an eyeshadow primer?

Time and brushes! The MAC 217 is an awesome blending brush. And the tapered blending brush from MAC or Sigma is also good.

They can really make all the difference. I have a Coastal Scents blending brush that's supposed to be a dupe for the MAC 217. And while it's ok, there is most DEFINITELY a noticeable difference.

It could also be the eyeshadow you're using. Some brands can be chalky and patchy by nature, especially certain matte shades. They usually require a little more time/work to blend well.

To blend correctly take a blending brush and swipe back and forth or in circles, that is what I do. Good luck with it 😉
