very nice. glowy and pretty. i like your eyebrows and you have beautiful lips!

for the lighting, i usually stand in front of an open window (that has a screen) during daylight. that gives enough indirect light, but you're not squinting in all the pictures. for pics taken at night, i try to face a really bright lamp, and then take the picture.

do you use flash for this, or is the natural light through the window enough? TY for the tip though, I'll try that next time

I do use flash. Not the super-strong flash, but the regular one. If you don't use flash, it might come out blurry (and yes, I'm a total camera noob so I don't really know the proper terms for, er, any of it

).

Where did you get the cheap pinkish eyeshadow? Very pretty by the way.
