Make-Up Lesson Needed!

[Wotsits31]

Hi, does anyone know where you can get lessons in applying make-up, specifically eye make-up. I went to a wedding the other week and had a MAC makeover in the morning at Harvey Nichols and the make-up was amazing, my eyes looked huge with a lovely smoky style, so I bought all the products used (over £200) and now am completely unable to re-create the look at home! I went back and they just wanted me to buy more before showing me which wasn't good. I really need some tips on eyeliner, top or bottom, or both, same with mascara and eyeshadow. HELP!!!

So what did you buy Wotsit?
I'm guessing eyeliner, pencil or liquid? Mascara, eyeshadow?

Loads of tips on you tube Wotsit,

Ok, so I bought the Prep&Prime which I love as a base and provides a lovely lumination. Corrector and Concealer which are fine and then a loose powder which sets all the above lovely. It's my eyes that are the problem. They are quite small and desperately want them to look bigger, they are brown with a bit of a green twinge. So I bought, eyeliner pencil in "Smoulder" which she smudged with her fingers. A paint pot which I think is the base for the whole eye, it's light beige in colour, a lengthening mascara in Brown / Black and 4 eyeshadows - Blanc Matt for at top of eyelid and for blending, Club Satin (dk green/black), Green Smoke (dk green wth subtle gold flecks and Electra (dk grey)

Wow! lol! I only use a little foundation, eyeliner, mascara & lipstick!

I know it's ridiculous isn't it! It would only be for nightime though.... In my rush to get out in a morning, I manage tinted moisturiser, a bit of bronzer if feeling pale and lip-gloss. But (and this is being a bit vain) loads of my friends commented how much prettier my whole face looked with my eyes done.... and I want to learn how to do it myself so I can look pretty again!

And why not! x
Did that video look familiar to the tequnique they used on you at HN? Any help?

[Sachs]

'teqnique'

[Wotsits31]

Yeah, definitely a help thx, I guess I just need practice. Although didn't help that the model used didn't actually need one iota of makeup anyway as she was gorgeous!

[Sachs]

Tell me about it! I just tried that in the mirror & it looked awful on me lol!!! I'm used to using eye pencil on the inner eye top & bottom! Have fun! x

Hope you have/ bought an eyelash curler Wotsit! Essential x

[Wotsits31]

Yep, have an eyelash curler. I've watched another couple on You Tube so am off to have a go myself........ Do you put mascara on your lower lashes as well?

[Sachs]

Sorry Wotsit!
Yes I do put mascara on my lower lashes x
