I have hooded lids and it took me a while to figure out what was up to do a nice line, but once I figured out the trick, I do best with fluidlines, compared to liquid liners. Take a look at this picture: See how when the eye is closed, the top edge of the wing actually looks like a straight, flat line? In this picture it's almost straight and flat, with just the tiniest upturned angle, but you see it's going straight out from the point where the hooding or downward folding of the lid begins. The under edge of the wing is more rounded, but when the eye is closed you see the  line doesn't just go diagonally down to the lash line. it sticks out straight past the hooded point and only goes diagonal below the hooding point. When the eye is open, it looks like a very different shape. You have to draw an almost horizontal line out from the hooded point, then fill and round the outer edge of the wing, while building the inner line down to meet the lash line. Easier to show than to describe, but this is the way to make the wing look smoothly diagonal when your eyes are open - it's a bit of an optical illusion.
Thank you so much for this! I'll have to try this one with fluidline that are probably starting to dry up as I've been ignoring them from so much frustration!:blink:

I would love to see you become the next WOC Beauty Blogger on par with Christine et al. Please. We need someone like you to get early access to these collections to help preview them out for us. P.S.- I am VERY SERIOUS and not just blowing smoke up your nose. :bouquet:

As far as what's printed, it's still listed as Silly.
Perhaps there has been an update on the info?

Unless the info has changed, I think that Beauty Shoppe is Silly from Fashion Sets. There are a lot of swatches online from when it previously released, so you can easily look it up! Here is what Erine said about it earlier in the thread: Perhaps there has been an update on the info? :shrugs:  
Funny thing....it was listed as Beauty Shoppe and now is listed as Silly. So that being said I updated the front page with both names :)

Silly looks a lot lighter than the first swatch we were shown. If it is indeed Silly I can cross it off my list. It's too light for me.

T's swatches of Silly confirm it; that's Silly in the front row of the display. I'm guessing the front row is Real Doll, Silly, Diva-ish and Notice Me At this point I'm most excited about the 221 and 137 lol!

The top swatch definitely looks darker. Unfortunately, Mac's color swatches are often different than the actual shade of the lipstick and hard to go on.
You are so right. Unfortunately. I really like the top swatch. I don't think there is anything I need or want from this collection now.

I really like the top swatch too! That's too bad, well not really because it is money saved! (especially as there are so many collections coming out! )
