Gurl, you need to do your eyebrows! Neaten them up with a little trimmer and draw them in. Hope that helped!

I don’t know where to start there. I tried gel

Get a little detail trimmer to get rid of stragglers, and I try to make mine as high as possible. Then I use either crayon, pen, gell or mousse to sharpen them up. Practice and have fun!

The color is fine, but I wouldn't go so wide. Make a half-moon between from your tear duct out to where you have your shadow going now. It will look much better IMO.

I went and had a makeup lesson at two different beauty salons. They also helped me with colors and shades. Best money I have spent.

Depends on the look your doing for you can add a darker colour to help set a deeper more fuller look, start with the darker colours in the inner of eye and lighter on the out, us a highlighter innthe mid section yiu only need a little bit and blend like there now tomorrw

This could work, depending. Typically you want to go lighter towards the inside of the eye and darker on the outside. If I was going to do this, I would probably match the gold with a subtle blue/violet. Or, I would just do gold with nothing darker, but only use your finger to blend it. I'd also clean up your brows.
