So I worked on my mascara, eyeliner, eyebrows eye shadow.
I am pretty good with my mascara. I have long lashes and can coat them easily without getting it on my face. I coat both the top and bottom lashes. Once they dry, I curl them.
I add my bottom eye liner onto my waterline. I like how that looks. But I can not add liner to my top eyelid waterline. So I add the liner along the top of the lid as close to the lash line as possible. I need to work on making that top line thin and straight.
The eyebrow liner I usually use was broken. So I had to use a darker color. I like a lighter brown that matches my hair. So this eye brow, though arched, is too dark for me and stands out too much.
For the first time, I added an eye shadow primer. This provided a nice base for adding eye shadow. I added white, brown and a dark red, but it did not show up that much. I think part of the problem is that the eye shadow I am using is cheap. It flacks off the much. Even with the primer, I noticed flaking from my eye shadow not long after I placed it on. I am going to invest in some better quality eye shadow.
Overall, I like the look. Now I see why women get contact lenses. The glasses do a good job of framing my face, but they hide my eye makeup.
This is why I bough glasses with a bigger lens that drops low toward my cheeks.
I added blush and lipstick for my overall makeup look for the day. Below are two photos, one with glasses on and the second photo without glasses.

Overall, I like where my makeup is going. I still need to add some light foundation and contouring to help with my overall look. I have been watching youtube videos on minimizing the bags under my eyes.
In the next couple of weeks, I will try some foundation and contouring to see how it works.
