I know it's definitely not perfect, but is there anything in particular I can improve on? I think I finally understand the concept, now I just need to master the technique. Eyes closed:

Thanks, Liz! I actually did add liner, but I thought you weren't supposed to add winged eyeliner. 😊

Hey I would show Jacqueline or Alma this picture and ask them for specifics. I feel you should indeed use more pigmented eyeshadows as well and the smoked out liner. and don't create a wing because Smokey eyes don't traditionally have wings, they are organic in nature. Ask Jackie or Alma though, and I'm sure they would be mire than happy to tell you exactly what you're doing right and what else you need to do to make it better.. Have a good day lovely!:)))

Thanks MaKenzie :) I'm planning on purchasing the a more pigmented eyeshadow pallet, hopefully that will help. I actually did quite thick (and smudged/smoked out, whatever you want to call it) liner, I just have a terrible quality camera. ><

Don't worry about it boo. I know how you feel... It takes practice, and it sucks not being able to show your work effectively to the people you want to. I gotchu... Have a marvelous day doll!

As with the others, a more pigmented/smooth eyeshadow would bring a better look and easier application for you!
Also don't forgot to even out the look. I like to drag some of the black shadow on the bottom lashline and then add black eyeliner in the waterline and tightline to give it more of the sultry and sexy look it should have.
But I agree, you've definitely got the concept! Good luck 💋
