Smokey eye tutorial here finally!
-
Oh also I forgot to say that I usually saturate a cotton ball/washcloth and hold it over my eyes for 20-30 seconds and it loosens almost everything up so it wipes right off, that way you don’t have to scrub and irritate your eyes. I try not to handle the area around my eyes more than I have to because it’s super thin and wrinkles very easily. I haven’t tried coconut oil but I will have to give it a shot.

Since coconut oil is a solid below 70 degrees I use a small spatula to get a little out and then warm it between my ring fingers before applying to my eyes.

i have super, super straight eyelashes and my friend recently turned me on to this crazy mascara from japan. it’s the ONLY mascara i’ve ever tried that keeps the curl in my lashes all day. literally, the only one. and it has filaments in it that make my eyelashes look 2x as long lol. but because this mascara is so diesel and ridiculous with its staying power, i went through 6 different eye makeup removers that would take it off.
the mascara is called "extra large"

You did a great job on the video!! I think everyone is self-conscious about how they look or sound when they see and hear themselves, I know I am! You did great though! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif
I have a few questions; the first is about primer. I don’t use primer, I put on my "mask" of foundation and powder before I apply eye make-up, which does lead to some creasing issues. So, if I use primer, can I use that in conjunction with my foundation and powder "mask"? If so, primer first, and then foundation and then powder or is there a different order or does it have to be one or the other?
Also, I get all my make-up at the drug store, so do you have a recommendation for a good primer that I would find at the drug store?
Second question, is gel eyeliner similar to liquid? I use liquid because pencil doesn’t work well with my "mask", pencil tends to smear, run and get messy (since it sits on top of foundation), where the liquid stays put. I’m wondering if gel would work similarly? Is it more like a pencil or a liquid?
Thanks!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

Hi MommaBear! Thank you for the compliments, you are very sweet! Yes I would definitely recommend using an eyeshadow primer, and when you use the primer you should be able to forego the foundation and powder because that can sometimes actually make creasing worse. L’Oreal makes a great eyeshadow primer for around $7, it’s called L’Oreal de-crease, although I have noticed not all drugstores carry it but the places that have bigger makeup selections like Rite-Aid etc tend to have it. The gel eyeliner is closer to a liquid but easier to control than liquid IMO…if you want to play around with it I think L’Oreal just came out with a gel liner as part of their HIP line. The only drawback to a gel is that you need to buy a brush to apply it but I think brushes are a great investment and a necessary tool for a professional looking makeup application so I would say it’s worth it for sure. Hope some of this info helps!

glitter, can you smudge a gel liner?

Well……….I must say…..
That was a freakin awesome tutorial Glittercupcake lady!!!
Seriously……..I have watched a ton of them and you do not need to feel self conscious about ANYTHING!!!!
You were clear, simple and articulate. Plus….you weren’t specifically marketing/promoting any one particular line.
That alone makes it fabulous as there are some who can not afford(or can’t justify spending that kind of mula) to buy specifically color # by so and so big wig, high end make up company of the stars.Wicked awesome girl!! Can’t wait to see the next one!!!
Huge thanks for doing this…….
Smooooch!!
