    I don’t often do my makeup 😂 But when I do I tend to only do eyeshadow how and lipstick becuase for the love of god the amount of times I poke myself with eyeliner or mascara 😂 so end up just using primer , concealer, foundation , lipstick eyeshadow and powder 


    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    @Jellyelephant Thank you! I love the bronzey looks, they go with anything xx 
    @Millie2787 Eyeliner and mascara is hard to master, normally get wet mascara over all the eyeshadow I just created 😂😭

    Here is a photo of me when I was 8 years old with show makeup. It was my 2nd ice skating show. 1000 people came to watch. Creepy!Going multi coloured!

    Yeah it definitely was. It was the only time I looked beautiful except when I was 1 year old. I have such a cute and beautiful photo of 1 year old me. No makeup though.

    @Past User you’re makeup is beautiful! I am not as good as you. Any tips? The one thing that never looks right when I try it is the wing on my eyeliner lol

    @Jellyelephant Thank you, I don't really do much in my spare time so I just practice a lot really. It takes time! I don't know if this really makes sense, but I always start my wing where I want it to end first and then drag it across to meet the eyelid, i just find that way I get a more sharp, less curved line! I used to practice using tape, so I'd put the tape underneath my eye towards the eyebrow, and do my eyeshadow. When I peeled the tape off I would follow the eyeshadow line which gave me a crisp wing. It's to explain but I hope that helps aha x

    Some awesome creativity in this thread, even if I am an absolute novice when it comes to make up :lol:

    It did get me thinking of the AMA that one of our chat mods did a while back, may be some interesting tips over here: https://community.themix.org.uk/discussion/3593401/makeup-chat

    Been reading this in the background as i absolutely want to get into makeup but i'm hopeless haha

    i'm gonna skip out the eyeliner and mascara for my precious eyes sake 😂

    I've always wanted to do a glittery eyeshadow and a shimmer on the cheeks, 


    (side note, the bottom right is gorgeous!)

    But i honestly don't know where to start 😂 maybe one day i'll give it a try haha

    @Ed_ Thank you! There's some amazing information on that thread, in my element 😂 Thank you for sharing x
    @Past User You should totally try if you want to! There's so many different things you can do with makeup, all about being creative and trying things :) You should get involved here if you would like to ❤️ Even if you just apply a shimmery shade to your cheek bones and eyelids to highlight, it will lift your face and give a nice glow, maybe start there if that's what's you have been wanting to try x I'm pretty bored at the moment and those makeup looks are stunning, think I might experiment with those colors 😊 Have to find all my colorful palettes 😂

    @Shaunie I normally use Morphe brushes xx Just takes a lot of time 😂 X
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 146 Helping Hand
    I find glitters and shimmers go on better if you wet the brush or use finger though, comes off more pigmented x
  • SienaSiena Posts: 15,681 Skive's The Limit
    Ooh right. Yeah cause I use Real Technique brushes but I'm pretty sure it better to use my fingers cause is shit and goes patchy with brushes lol clearly do something wrong aha

    I just tried my morphe one today and I think I give up lol

    looks like a square and looks like one shade what do i do wrong lol
    (Ignore my eyebrows )


    That looks really nice! I think it's blended well ❤️ If you wanted to add depth you could add a darker shade in the crease like a cooler tone brown or a really light shade on the middle of the lid xx I think it looks really pretty though

    Hey does anyone know how to fix my whole face with Make up lol 🙃🙃

    like get rid of this squareness 

    Make my lips look bigger and my nose smaller and my forehead smaller. My whole face smaller and maybe my eyebrows higher. My eyes are too small and my eyebrows are uneven. ?????? And maybe my face is long aswell as square but i don’t know what contour is best for that. Google contradicts itself
