iSHi: Shadha, the gold tips looked pretty good since I was wearing gold eyeshadow with blackliner and black mascara on the roots. It all blended in.

Do try to take a picture of it.

I use Volume Exact in black.

The XXL Volume is disgusting.

i know me tooo!!!

heba, i have those colors too! thats one smokey look i'm excited about cuz i don't have to go out and buy anything... i'm broke.

it takes me 10 minutes total for mac oil-control moisturizer, mac studio fix in C4 with a brush - no sponges!, mac powder blush in "plum foolery," mac lipgloss in "oh baby," and maybelline great lash mascara.

i don't do eyeliner on a daily basis... but when i do i use liquid. i need to get a good pencil eyeliner...

I love the colors she chose.

I'm a fan of blue eye shadow for dark eyes.

Like, I think this looks strange:

shadha-

I have that exact shade but different brand. Since my lashes are black, it looks different than that. Hers look weird. Mine stay black, but gives it more of a tint? I don't know how to explain it. I don't wear it when I go out, only to a party or gathering. It looks really cute actually. I'll take a picture next time I wear it and show anyone who wants to see it.

Lipstick/gloss, eye shadow, and blush all seem too much for me to wear everyday. I don't wear liner either. I wear foundation and mascara. Sometimes no mascara if I'm feeling tired. I have an obsession with mascara and have tried just about every brand out there. I have finally found THE perfect one. It adds just enough volume so they don't look fake, and amazing length (I'm more into the length than volume). It comes out so clean and doesn't clump. I've received so many complements for it. Its loreal telescopic clean definition mascara. Theres three different kinds for the telescopic mascara, but the clean definition is the best.

I rarely wear makeup, because my skin is weird, but when I took my first set of Senior portraits, I wore foundation, (Maybelline) and lipstick (Covergirl) and of course eyeliner and mascara. I got the pics back and looked awful, it had rained and the foundation kinda smudged. I never got the prints.
I took the pics again with no makeup. I think I looked WAY better. I have decided to stick to my sephora mascara, sephora lip gloss and whatever cheap eyeliner I can find.

i can't buy drug store foundation. it's never the right shade and the amount of money you spend with trial and error end up being the same as department store foundation. teint idole ultra by lancome W4 is amazing! my skin literally looks flawless when i use it, and that's before any conceler or powder.

i'm a bit of an eyeshadow addict

urban decay, mac pigments, mac paints, l'oreal HIP it's alllllll so much fun to play with. actually, i have an impulse to buy any super pigmented eyeshadow. this eyeshadow addiction is pretty recent... a while ago, i couldn't blend colors to save my life and then i was introduced to the wonderful world of youtube tutorials

and i agree with whoever said that the brown smokey eye is way easier to pull of than the black.. but the black, when done right and for the right occasion, can't be beat.

oh, and i swear by urban decay primer potion. it ain't gonna stay if there's no primer.

How is the coverage on the lancome? light/medium/heavy?
