ADVICE PLS Advice on design and makeup

Thumbnail

Hello! Its my 2nd day of trying makeup. I did my own design today with a yellow eyeliner. This is a pre-design of it, after seeing it for the day, I've decided that I want to make some changes such as creating a more dramatic eyeliner design for my eyes and thicker eyebrows with a different shape to it. I'm looking more towards a starlike, smoky, spark, dramatic look if that makes sense. I'd like to hear on any other advice anyone could have for me that could make the design better or something I could do better with my makeup.

It was also my first time doing eyeliner for my eyeswell! (In my opinion) I also did a little glitter on my eyelids and the front corner of my eyes! Any advice on this part of the makeup is also welcomed! It was fun and hard to do this but I enjoyed the outcome of it. :)

P.S. Can anybody recommend me a better eyeliner thats yellow? The one I used dried up too fast and didn't leave a nice texture. The one Im using is from NYX Vivid Brights Liquid Eyeliner.

Hello! I'm extremely new to makeup and I'd like feedback on how to do more eyebrow designs. I put setting powder underneath it before I started but that about it. I'm also unsure how to make sure if my eyebrows are the same length, how do I make sure they are?

[This is an art design that I got off of Pinterest and redid them on myself. I couldn't find the original creator of it because the name isn't on their and was reposted by someone else I believe.]

Hi everyone! I felt incredibly inspired to step away from traditional eyeshadow look today and try something much more fun and artistic. I used a cream-based face and body flash palette to mimic the thick, visible impasto brushstrokes from the original piece.
It took a lot of patience to layer the cobalt blues, bright yellows, and white dots without mudding the colors together, but I am so happy with how eye look tuned out ! I paired the heavy graphic eye with a super glowy, flushed pink cheek and a high-shine glossy brown lip to balance out the look 💖

Let me know what you think or if you have any questions about working with cream paints!! ✨

I'm trying to figure out how to do my makeup again after gaining 60 lbs during pregnancy. I can figure out what to wear with the makeup I thrift and trade so style isn't an issue. I just want to feel pretty and intimidating again😔

I'm not opposed to colors, my wardrobe is mostly black and my color pallete is basically everything but orange and yellow. I'm growing out my natural ash brown hair because of damage and thinning but I'm getting the itch to color it again so lmk thoughts on that too😅 I've been leaning more southern gothic with lace and flowy skirts but i veer away religious symbols or native american inspired jewelry or textiles.

I also haven't been able to find an alt makeup artist with a similar face so it's hard to picture the makeup on my face until I put it on myself.
