How long did it take you girls to get good at makeup..   I struggle with my eyes never get it right its fustrating, though i did get my first pair of false eyelashes on ok, just couldn't get the rest. stressing over it cause its the only thing that makes me feel unconfortable going out

Still working on it.Think I look better with the minimum of make up.At the moment I just use bb cream a bit of lippy and eyeliner.

practice makes perfect.  Watching Youtube videos is the best.  I would suggest watching for drag makeup - simply because they show tips to hide features we don't want to show.  If you can learn those shading and highlighting tips, you can do anything!

I'm still having a reaaaaally hard time painting my toe nails lol but It took my like 2 years to kinda know the tricks with the basis things like fundation,eyes, and eyebrow.

I have a makeup artist...just so happens I live with her  my fiancee does a remarkable job considering she never wears makeup herself.

I think it depends on how much you practice. Also inthink it helps if you have help from someone that knos what there doing. I have only been doing it for a few months. But I fell really comfortable with my skills. But I had lessons from a MUA. There are alot of good videos on youtube. Ashley

its practice practice and some more practice...

Have you tried the sparkly kind as opposed to the smooth solid color kind? It seems to be more forgiving.

I don't wear any foundation or powder as my skin doesn't call for it, but I just have a small issue with my eyes.... I am having someone help me with my eye liner and eye shadow this weekend so it doesn't end up looking like I got a black eye afterwards xD

I have been watching you tube videos like crazy. Last night I had my first go at smoky eyes. It a little messy - but I could see clearly that with a little practice it's going to work. I am going to a dressing agency for a makeover. I really am hoping to pick up lots of information - like what shade foundation I need. I am planning to buy all my own kit so as not to annoy my wife by using hers :-)

Beem trying for years, still not perfect, but getting there...it really is about practice 

It really is just practice... when I started doing makeup my face looked pretty bad. I actually laugh at those pictures now! And now I go for a more minimalist look, just eyeliner and maybe some eyeshadow, a little lipstick... once you get lots of practice in and find your groove, you'll be just fine. It just takes a little time!
