Title: First time doing my own make up opinions? Tips?
Post by: SkwidTHEkid on June 10, 2017, 02:06:28 AM
I only did a bit.  I contoured  a lil bit.  I know I need to blend  around my nose better (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170610/74c1e858381aa15e6ff0bddb96f3d9c3.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170610/a8b7f6131c56c77bfc8dd827d3f082a2.jpg)

Very nice!

Personally, I do not care for heavy makeup. You look lovely!

I think you did a great job, particularly on the eyes  :icon_chick:  Might try to make the lips pop a bit more with a deeper shade

You look pretty and have a feminine face. But you like really need some  blush and lipstick. And also you look young. Do you need such heavy foundation?

So less foundation,  blush and lipstick.

Yes. I think you would look really pretty with those changes. From your pictures I would say you pass. Your eye makeup is on point for sure. It looks like you have good cheekbones so you want to contour them and then add some blush to bring them out. Same with your lips. Your foundation looks totally heavy in the pictures so I am thinking it looks even heavier in RL. Yes it makes your skin look flawless but it's also going to make people wonder why someone young needs such heavy makeup. No transwomen wants people paying like extra attention to them. Not like that anyway.

Hi SkwidTHEkid,

  I think you did pretty good and the suggestions you've received are good to. It's a matter of practice and attention to the look and situation you are getting ready for.
   I know you are young and the thing for the younger folk atm is the darl lining around the eyes both above and below. You can easily go wrong trying to do this right so practice and observation of what is done by those that can achieve the look correctly is essential. But it is achievable.
  I'm old (compared to youngins like you) and find myself a proponent of less is more especially for daytime makeup. Evenings call for a bit more and evenings out is the time but even more special attention to eye makeup and bolder cheeks. As I said that's from an older perspective and when It come to you younger folk it is almost anything goes.

But you are doing okay and will get better as you get more practice and develope your own look. And that it what you want , Your own look.

Hugs,
   Laurie

  Thumbs up from the old broad. I think your eyes look great this time. I like the additional color to the lips too though to me (my own biased opinion again) the outlining could be blended a bit more to make it a little less pronounced. Over all I think it is a nice improvement over the last. Good Job girl!

Hugs,
  Laurie

Awesome improvement from the first to second sets of pics. The inside corners of your eyes were super heavy in the first set and much more nicely feathered in the second. Hope you're continuing to practice and improve!

Hi BillieC,

  This thread is almost a year old and SkwidTHEkid has not been online sine last July. This thread should not even be here due to the posting of links rule in TOS #1. It is one that slipped through the cracks..
  I thought you should know.

Hugs,
