    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 :(

    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!

    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!

  6. 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!

  7. Trace

    Monday, May 19, 2008

    Probably has to be eyeliner.. liquid or non!

    • Christine

      Wednesday, May 21, 2008

      Nice job, Trace!

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

    • Sexy Sadie

      Monday, May 19, 2008

      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.

  10. 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!

  12. Tina

    Monday, May 19, 2008

    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!

  13. 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!

  14. 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? ;)

  15. 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

  16. 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

  17. 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!

  18. 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!

  19. 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

  20. Pia

    Monday, May 19, 2008

    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!

    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!

  22. 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!

  24. DaniMae

    Tuesday, May 20, 2008

    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!

  25. Alison

    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!

    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!
