Learning your eyes

The first lesson I had to learn is you can't do what other people do. When you put on eye shadow you have do it according to you eyes. Different people have different shaped eyes. That means you have to do different things when you apply the shadow. I have deep set, wide, hooded eyes. I can't do a lot of looks that other people do without looking crazy. LOL! 

You have to learn what works best for your eyes. Here is a video that shows a little about finding and figuring out where things are on your eye. I love watching his videos.

I get this question a lot. It's really hard to find the perfect shade foundation. Then when you do you want it to work without looking a hot mess. That's why women spend so much money on foundations. It takes a while to find something that works well for you. You don't want to buy something that is too light, especially for women of color. When you buy foundation that is too light you end up having a gray/white cast on your face (look like a ghost). I watch lilpumpkinpie05 on Youtube often. She has very helpful hint on working with your makeup. You just have to keep trying until you get it right.

Here's one on finding the right foundation. (She means foundations you would buy in the mall and not found in the drugstore.)
