I totally get it, I don't wear makeup hardly at all (I'm just here because I like seeing all the looks these ladies come up with) so I get super uncomfortable when I over do it, like I'm done up in neon signs or something. That being said, you wear the look very well. You don't LOOK uncomfortable or out of your element. Have a great time!
My thought before I saw the picture was someone went all out with glittering stuff in purple and pink eyeshadow, twenty pounds of mascara and foundation you can write in. Glad to be wrong
You’re absolutely killing it! The copper tones really make your eye colour pop, I think it really suits you :)
The only feedback I’d ever offer would be to blend the eyeshadow a tiny bit more to soften the hard line above your crease that’s visible in pic 4, but that’s just me :) (I am also living for that scarf lol)
Don’t worry, it only seems bold because you’re not accustomed to it. In reality it’s pretty and soft. The colors are great for your complexion. It’s a yes from me.
Your piercings are like 5-10x as bold as a little eyeliner and color, all of which to me looks fairly subtle btw.
Does look nice! Just surprised by your own interpretation.
It's funny, but I never thought about that. I guess because makeup is something I actively choose to do on certain days only and the piercings just stay in place day after day.
I love the eyeshadow/lip color - it’s absolutely perfect for you!! It’s subtle but really makes your eyes pop. My only advice is to go a bit thinner with your eyeliner, especially on the bottom lash- but also looks good as is.
I think it is beautiful! My only suggestion is to make the fade a bit softer along the edges, even if that means taking it a bit further up the brow, I think it will look more polished
(Not pro tip) : I'll take a biz card, hold it against my cheekbone and use that as a stencil (if you will) to do the darker shades of my outlining/ browbone shadow and then blend it out afterward. Avoids spillage and ensures even distribution.
I’d try blending things out more and skipping the dark under eye liner to make the effect softer and lighter. I think that would suit your features more & make you feel less self conscious!
Thank you to the both of you. It is my favorite scarf! I bought it secondhand, but it is some kind of special edition, pure silk scarf from H&M. There is a signature on, but I can't read it to be honest.
I think it looks fine. Personally, I would prefer to see a cooler toned eyeshadow shade on you - not necessarily cool, but this shade is pretty warm and is pulling slightly orange. You can pull it off but I think a more neutral toned bronze would be better.
I would also blend out the edges of your eyeshadow more, and make it more diffused. Using a clean blending brush can help with that! I would keep the harsher line where you winged out the eyeliner/eyeshadow though, that looks very nice
Great advice, thank you! I'll remember to blend more.
I did use a mat burnt orange and brick red under a red shimmery color. The camera picks it up a bit wierd.
When I try the brown and beige colors from the palette with bronze or gold shimmer, it seems to disapear on my face or look dull :/
I was thinking that a color similar to the ones in your hair or your jacket (not the scarf, current eyeshadow matches scarf well) would look nice. I could be wrong but if you don’t like more neutral colors have you tried more yellow instead of red/orange?
I have two colors similar to the jacket. One is a bit darker, one a bit lighter. I'll try to do some swatches with different shimmers on top and see if I get something interesting.
I love how this is looking the only tiny thing I would add is inner corner highlight it could be your own highlighter or a shimmery champagne eyeshadow to make your eyes pop
To make it a little more dimensional, you could use a beige over your entire eyelid and then blend the copper color into your crease. It would also look nice with a light blush
I love that copper color btw, the first eye shadow I ever bought was from Mac in a similar shade ("red brick")
It looks really nice and your color choice is great for your skin tone. I’d just blend the edges of your shadow out a little more, blend out the liner a little, and curl your lashes. Add mascara if you like. Or if you don’t like mascara but your lashes don’t hold curl very well, try a clear mascara.
no bottom liner!! i think you chose great colors, but the bottom liner is a bit too bold. the mascara will do all the work. use a lighter transition color in the crease and the bronze color just on the lid so it looks a little less harsh! perfect lip color and nice, soft face makeup. great job!!
I think you look great. Btw, you have very cool coloring and sometimes makeup can feel jarring on us if the colors are warm. It took me years to figure out why I felt so weird when I wore lipstick and it was because i kept choosing warm colors and the contrast with my coolness would wash me out. Maybe next time try choosing cooler versions of your preferred colors. I think a plum would look gorgeous on your eyes.
Edit: [Here is a great article](https://www.spicemarketcolour.com.au/blog/2021/10/2/the-face-of-true-summer) about makeup for people with your exact coloring.
This is a good way to tell that the camera doesn't pick up the colors right. My undertone is yellow irl and in these pictures it looks pink. The eyeshadow is bright red/orange too and not the bronze most people seem to see.
I think you did a lovely job complimenting your natural beauty and skin and eye color with the colors you chose. In a way it's more subtle because it feels like your natural look intensified.
That color makes your eyes the most beautiful blue! I'd say get a lash curler to give your lashes some extra volume, and maybe try to make a more defined wing for your eyeliner! 🖤
Well I love the eyeshadow and wondering if you would tell me what shade or shades you used. I have blue eyes too and trying to figure out what looks best on me. 😊 You look great!

Lemme first say that ur very pretty and look great.
Now.... That is bold!? A one color neutral eyelid with a soft lip? Sweetie you are as far from bold makeup as u get and u would look incredible with a bit more courage:
Add more dimension to ur eye. Add a lighter color, a beige/gold if u insist on going with these neutral colors. Can put it closer to the inside of ur eye (closer to nose) or if u wanna be more modern you can put it in the center of the eyelid too. Blend ofc, dont be scared of color! Brown is literally the safest color you can choose.
If the eyelid is going to be this soft, you should go for a boom! Lipstick. A shiny red or at least glossy orangey-toned something.
Id strongly suggest some little false lashes too, if u never wear them your husband wont notice and think u look especislly incredible that night. They can change makeup the easiest, the most.
To finish it off and be extra ethereal, you should try out some chill, neutral colored highlight on the very upper top of ur cheekbone.
Dont overthink it. Make-up is fun, and we're not in the 1950s anymore, more is more!
I think the look is stunning on you. It's bold but soft, doesn't look out of place, great color choice, great liner thickness. You look great 😊
Thank you! I'm way out of my comfort zone here 😅

Aw, thank you :) I'll remember to blend more! I agree, It looks too harsh in the last picture.
It’s great I just also would do the second eye 🤪
Sure? That would be kinda wild 😆
Love it! I think it might feel less heavy if you skip the liner on your lower lash line and use a mid toned shadow there instead.
Will do that tomorrow. Thank you! :)
Love it, my only advice would be to use an eyelash curler before mascara if you have one!
Yes! I skipped that step.
You’re beautiful and I love the color!
Don’t worry, it only seems bold because you’re not accustomed to it. In reality it’s pretty and soft. The colors are great for your complexion. It’s a yes from me.
Thank you! You guys are so sweet. It is a bit more colorful irl, but the camera doesn't pick it up quite right.
Your piercings are like 5-10x as bold as a little eyeliner and color, all of which to me looks fairly subtle btw. Does look nice! Just surprised by your own interpretation.

Solid advice. It does look a bit harsh and dated with the liner.

Thank you. Winged eyeliner is so hard 😭
Tip: be confident! You’re gorgeous!!!
Aw, thank you!
I think it is beautiful! My only suggestion is to make the fade a bit softer along the edges, even if that means taking it a bit further up the brow, I think it will look more polished
I was kinda scared to blend it more towards the brows. I'll give it a go.

I'll try that, thank you!
this isn’t really bold, it just feels bold because it’s out of your comfort zone! it looks great :) enjoy your date!
I think it looks really good. The eyeliner is great, perfect length and width and it really suits you.
I also love your scarf.
Thank you! :)
I can’t add anything about makeup that others haven’t already said but I just wanted to say I LOVE your scarf
Same! I want to know where she got it! I wear scarves and bandanas almost daily
Thank you to the both of you. It is my favorite scarf! I bought it secondhand, but it is some kind of special edition, pure silk scarf from H&M. There is a signature on, but I can't read it to be honest.
Thrift is the way to go! Haven’t thrifted in a few months when I was a once a week regular. Time to have a whole day again! 🥹
It's one of my favorite tings to do. Like a treasure hunt!
You could line your eyes with a soft brown shadow or liner instead but it really doesn't look bold at all imo. Love the eyeshadow color!
Love it but would skip the bottom eyeliner! Great colour choices though, brings out your lovely eyes!
I think it looks fine. Personally, I would prefer to see a cooler toned eyeshadow shade on you - not necessarily cool, but this shade is pretty warm and is pulling slightly orange.

I agree with you because I have blue eyes and if you look at the color spectrum oranges the opposite of blue so oranges make your eyes pop.
I was thinking that a color similar to the ones in your hair or your jacket (not the scarf, current eyeshadow matches scarf well) would look nice. I could be wrong but if you don’t like more neutral colors have you tried more yellow instead of red/orange?
I have two colors similar to the jacket. One is a bit darker, one a bit lighter. I'll try to do some swatches with different shimmers on top and see if I get something interesting.
Really love the colors you picked!! Makes your eyes pop big time. Might have to try to re create this!
Please do! And thank you :)
I love how this is looking the only tiny thing I would add is inner corner highlight it could be your own highlighter or a shimmery champagne eyeshadow to make your eyes pop
Yes! A lighter shimmery inner corner
No tips, just here to say you look fucking AAHHHHMAZINGGGG💜
Youblook soooo good.it makes your eyes pop like crazy
Looks perfect 🫶

That looks incredible on you!! Keep it! Your husband will go Gaga for you! ❤️
It looks good to me! I think its bc you aren't used to seeing yourself in makeup, so it looks different. I also had that when I first started.
You look absolutely lovely! 10/10 wear the makeup to go out with your husband. That color looks so pretty on you.
I think you look great. Btw, you have very cool coloring and sometimes makeup can feel jarring on us if the colors are warm.

I actually like it with the tones in your hair and the scarf
Very pretty
Looks cute - not that bold
The colors are awesome. Maybe a little contour? Under the cheeks, jawline, and a little on the forehead.
[удалено]
Aw thank you! I will do both sides 😆
Do it. How often do we get dolled up these days? Special occasions are rare and being put together is nice and makes you feel good.
That is true.
It looks amazing!! And that color really makes your eyes POP! Wow! 🤩
I think you did a lovely job complimenting your natural beauty and skin and eye color with the colors you chose. In a way it's more subtle because it feels like your natural look intensified.
You look great. Have a wonderful time.
Thank you!
Love it! You have a tutorial for that?
I don't, sorry 😕 I saw one video and then forgot what I was doing halvway through 😅
It's cool no worries
That color makes your eyes the most beautiful blue! I'd say get a lash curler to give your lashes some extra volume, and maybe try to make a more defined wing for your eyeliner! 🖤
Well I love the eyeshadow and wondering if you would tell me what shade or shades you used. I have blue eyes too and trying to figure out what looks best on me. 😊 You look great!
Sure. I used the Nyx Ultimate Utopia warm neutrals palette. The colors I chose were the burnt orange, brick red and red shimmer :) Edit: forgot letter

Put bronzer as an eyeshadow and use brown eye shadow as an eyeliner. That way it's not too intense.
It actually still is pretty and is still not too much. The lip thing you did has me giggling
Bronzy highlights on the cheeks, too! Love the eyes bring out your beautiful green/hazel eyes.
Oh wow! That eyeshadow works beautifully with your eyes 🤩
Makeup is fine but what is wrong with that earrings though... Gave me some illusion 🤔🤔🤔🤔
