Way too over the top.  I can see a very pretty girl under all the goo. You want to accent your features not overwhelm them. Take the eyeliner down a notch and get your eyebrows waxed and shaped. Sorry I am quite socially inept, but you did ask for honesty. Redo it lightly and let's see you again. I bet you are stunning. You have a great smile. Have you seen the tutorials on You Tube?

Thanks :) Lol I know.. This was my first makeup.. I went a little overboard with the eye stuff and didn't know when to stop.. I really appreciate your honest opinion, so no worries.. I'll prep myself for another makeup session and post something soon.. I've been watching many tutorials on YouTube.. Hope to watch more..

Yep.  It looks super messy.  But (and I mean this as a compliment.) you look like a teenage girl.  In that you are pretty and all of the makeup application is overzealous and not very neat.  It's apparent to me that if you just keep practicing, you'll get it all right and look terrific as well as natural.  I'd really like to see another picture of you with a version of the same makeup in about a month or 2.  Keep at it.
