    I have tried and tried and tried again but I simply can NOT master the technique of applying liquicd black eyeliner on my upper lid to achieve that retro look. It drives me crazy! It always comes out awful no matter how much I follow directions. I think I just need someone to do it for me. :-(

      that retro look with liner is EASY with a cream liner (L’Oreal HIP or Fluidline from MAC) and an angled brush.

        Cream liner + angled brush does make it way easier!

      Aww, Amethyst! It takes lots and lots of practice :( It can be tough! Have you tried the 266 brush?

    tightlining my eyes and make symmetrical wing eyes. oh and how to contour cheeks. I’ve seen enough tutorial but still not convinced that i actually have cheekbones.

      It’s so tough to get both eyes to look exactly the same :(

    Red Lipstick. I’ve tried multiple shades. Warm red. Cool red. I can’t seem to find one that looks good on me. Which sucks because I would so love to rock that look.

      Ditto! I have a gorgeous MAC Russian Red which I know looks good on me, but I haven’t got up the courage to wear it and own it.

      • Christine

        Wednesday, May 21, 2008

        Aww, you should wear it since you KNOW it looks good on you!

    • Christine

      Wednesday, May 21, 2008

    Blush and contouring im always afraid ill end up over doing it and can never seem to get it to look even so i hardly ever use it and when i do use it i make sure i use a natural color that hardly shows.

    • Christine

      Wednesday, May 21, 2008

      Aww, Lisa!! Just keep on practicing :D You’ll find a good level that works for ya.

    I’d love to be able to figure out how to put on foundation so it looks like I’m not wearing any…is that even possible?

    • Christine

      Wednesday, May 21, 2008

      Hey Shayla! It is possible. You just need the right foundation and primer, plus technique.

    How to contour cheeks that looks natural. I’d like to say liquid eyeliner too but I don’t really like putting eyeliner on my upper eyelids coz my eyes are deepset and I have a fat crease lol.

    • Christine

      Wednesday, May 21, 2008

      Hey Janis! Have you practiced contouring a lot? Once you find the right shade for you, it’s all gravy from there!

    Also, smoky eyes. My eyes aren’t almond-shaped, so doing them so I don’t look like a sleepy panda is a little difficult :-/

    I want to master matching blush colors to my skin tone! I have dark skin and I can never tell which blushes will make me too like a dollar store baby doll.

    • Christine

      Hey Clover! Practice, practice, practice! That’s all I can say.

    Plenty of times– it always looks better when they do it! (of course) But I’ll keep trying, and i just read your cat eye tutorial- thanks, maybe that will help!
