Attempting darker colour in crease FOTD

[-x-buttercup-x-]

Any critisicm of the constructive variety is absolutely welcome because I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. I love the looks that are quite neutralish with a darker colour in the crease, but I can't seem to get the hang of it, it looks fine when my eyes open, but when I close my eyes I just think it look stupid, help!!

And just proof that I can be attractive if I really try

It doesn't look bad at all.

I think it looks nice and subtle for darker color in the crease.

I think you did a great job! Just keep practicing... you'll get the hang of it!

Very pretty, and it DOES work for you. But if you insist on hearing criticism (of the constructive variety, of course!), here's me being horrifically nitpicky XD

You may want to widen that crease color just to the tips of your lashes (while they're open) before you blendblendblendblend. You blend just fine, by the way.

Now then, what I -really- think is that the way you did it looks awesome XD But you asked, so, there you go.

last picture takes the cake

i love the combo, browns with greens/blues is ALWAYS hot. looks great with your hair & eyes <3

I think it loks great and that could even go darker with the crease color a bit

I think it looks great and love the blue eyeliner, it makes your eye "pop."

ITA with mscuppycakes. that liner is HOT on you!

I think you look GORGEOUS!!!!

but if you really want to know what helps for me personally, is I apply the crease with my eye open a little so I get the shadow RIGHT DOWN IN THERE! then you use a tapered blending brush (I reccommend the black tapered one....i forget the number!!) and you bring it up and out just a little so it creates a "deeper" effect. I may have to do a tutorial this weekend if I can find some time! it takes practice but you did a GREAT job!
