I’m all about the liquid liner! and blending eyeshadows. That’s usually what I get compliments on. Lips are a little more difficult for me though…I always admire people who can put it on with no mirror!

Nice!! What’s your favorite way to wear liquid liner?

I’m pretty good with lipstick, I can apply it in the car without a mirror (not driving!!!) I envy people who can pull off perfect cat’s eyes, I struggle to get both eyes looking the same :(

Me too! Gah!

I can put on any lipstick or gloss without even thinking about it. I know where my lips are. :P
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Wowww! I’d totally get a smidgen off my lips somehow. So impressed!
Monique

Not many just yet…..filling my brows, putting on falsies and washing my brushes….LOL.
I’m still a work in progess.
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
There is so much fun to be had in the beginning, Monique. Sometimes I miss being a total newbie to it all!
But I envy your false lashes mastery!

blending my eyeshadows and putting on fake lashes.
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
I wish I mastered fake lashes. So jealous!
Lydia
Monday, May 19, 2008
I’m gonna have to agree with Sophia and say putting fake eyelashes on.
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Wow, you guys make me feel like such a loser since false lashes and me? Never. Gonna. Happen!

Probably has to be eyeliner.. liquid or non!
Christine

Nice job, Trace!

I’ve gotten good at bright eyeshadow application. At least, that’s how I feel. ;)
Sexy Sadie

Me too.
I am not always that good with the smokey eye, that is because my eyes are small, so I must be really careful. But when it is there it is unbeatable. ;)
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Isn’t it amazing that when you get it, you get it done so well?
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
That’s so awesome, Trisha :D Congrats!

I believe mine is liner…pencil, gel, creme, or liquid! I guess because it was one of the first cosmetics I ever used!Also lips…gloss liner and lipgloss!
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
That’s fantastic, Tammy! Liner can totally make or break a look.
Chloe
Monday, May 19, 2008
I’d have to say liner. It was the first technique that I learned and have had many years of experience. Also, I’m pretty good at blending and applying lashes. I’ve been learning how to contour recently so maybe I can master that soon. I wish I was good at combining l/l and l/g like you Christine!
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Hey Chloe! It took me MONTHS! before I started to get the hang of lip combos, honest. ;)
But I so wish I was better at applying lashes!

I think my liquid foundation application is quite good.
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
That’s awesome! It’s a crucial step to master!
Tina

Filling in my brows! I get complimented a lot on these and apparently it looks natural too (no one believes I use powder and a brow pencil). I think I’m pretty good with liners too…liquid, pencil, creme, powder.
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Awesome! Brows are so essential to the face, IMO!
Erin/slipnslide
Monday, May 19, 2008
I can’t think of anything I’m lacking in… maybe I’m just well-rounded. I’m no expert, though!
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
lol!! I know you’re definitely not lacking confidence :D You go, girl!
dee
Monday, May 19, 2008
I would say liquid liner, but does it count if I can only do it on one eye? :)
Honestly, I’ve mastered nothing, as pitiful as it sounds, but I’m pretty ok in everything.
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
LOL! Sure, why not? ;)
Sara
Monday, May 19, 2008
blending! i think i’m pretty good at blending colors and even people who don’t know anything about makeup (i.e. boys) will say “i like your make up. it’s blended nice” i always lol cause it’s happened more than once. its so funny to hear boys talk about blending
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Blending is a great technique to have mastered :D
Stacey
Monday, May 19, 2008
Nothing! I never feel like anything looks 100%
Tanya
Monday, May 19, 2008
you and me both Stacey!!! I was trying to think of at least one thing that I have mastered….there just isn’t one thing :( LOL I will say that I have mastered spending money on stuff I like….I am really really good at that!!!
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Aww, Tanya!
But that last part made me giggle!!
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Aww, Stacey! You’re too hard on yourself ;P
Kella

Definitely – Concealing!! I conceal every tiny little depigmentation so that my skin looks flawless!
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
That’s AWESOME! I love it when skin looks flawless!
Kensie
Monday, May 19, 2008
BLENDING in general!
eyeshadow
contour
lipcolors
i’m confident in that.
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Very nice list, Kensie! :D Congrats!
Annie
Monday, May 19, 2008
I think I got my eyeliner, pencil or liquid, down to the T..! And Mascara and Falsies.. HOWEVER, blushes give me the hardest time! I always want to use it like a bronzer and put it all over my face.. lol
Annie
Monday, May 19, 2008
**to the TEE.. lol that would bother me :)
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
That’s fab, Annie!! lol@the blush comment
Pia

making my skin look flawless. I know I’ve mastered this when even my closest friends said that my skin looked perfect and started to ask who my doctor was. I got tons of strangers complimented me. I could also put on lipstick and gloss without looking in the mirror, thanks for years of perpetually being late! I wish I could wake up in the morning and were able to put on eye makeup nicely, tight lining my eyes perfectly and contouring my chubby cheeks.
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
That’s so great to hear, Pia. The skin is so important!
grace

i think i’m pretty nifty with my eyeliners(not so much pencil as liquid and pens), mascara and basically making my complexion look good…. but not any of these without a mirror. the most compliments i get are on looking natural-only better. i haven’t really gotten good at the awesome dramatic looks here. trying, though!
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
That’s great, Grace! Mascara is an important technique to have down pat!
Zainy
Tuesday, May 20, 2008
Hey Cristine,
Oh yes definitely without any doubt im MISS PERFECT in applying lipstick, with liner also and my Eye liner too,liquid one.Its the EASIEST JOB FOR ME IN THE WORLD!!
Zzainy..
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
That’s awesome, Zainy!! :D Can you apply it without a mirror (the lipstick)?
Zainy
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
OH YES,DEFINITELY even EYE LINER!, :D(with biggest GRIN!)
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Ohh, nice job, Zainy! That’s fab!

I think I can run a very clean line along my upper inner lash line. Since I am Asian, I’ve been practicing to contour bridge of my nose to make it look less flat. Well, I would say my friends notice I have a more distinctive nose when I have my makeup.
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Hey Taj!
That’s great that you’re getting good at contouring your nose!
DaniMae

I’d have to say that I’ve mastered applying gel liner. I was terrible at it when I started using it all those years ago, but I’m a make up perfectionist so now I do very well. I get compliments on that aspect of my make up if nothing else. I’m the queen of clean, even, winged gel liner!
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
It’s so great that you’ve totally mastered it now!
Alison
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
i think people who have lips that have rims (slightly raised from the skin) are the ones who can put on lipstick without a mirror.
i can put on even deep red lippie without a mirror because its actually really difficult for me to go outside the lines.
…so don’t feel too bad, i think its physical.
(PS, christine you are such a gem, a bright, kind, sparkling lady.)
Christine
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Ahh, interesting point you bring up, Alison! I haven’t really tried to do it blind, but I’m pretty sure I’d have some coordination issues, lol.
And thank you :)
Alison
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
you should try using a nude-ish lippie and pouting slightly, see how you go without a mirror, you should be able to do it…
Christine
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Thanks for the tip, Alison!
Kristina

I have definitely mastered the cat-eye look with pencil liner, cream liner, and/or liquid liner!
Christine
Thursday, May 22, 2008
Very nice! I know several readers are jealous of your cat-eye-lining skills!
