    Default i am eye makeup retarded

    ugh..i just can't figure it out! i've looked at all the tutorials everyones posted and i still can't do kick ass dark eyes. i'm fine with everyday ho-hum average looks...but the dramatic..i just can't get it!

    i think they'd look so cool if someone did them up for me. my eyes are HUGE and i have a lot of "space" on my lids.

    false lashes..forget it! i end up looking like britney spears in that interview! lol

    do the mac counter people do your eye makeup for you if you go in???

    can someone just come do my eyes whenever i need them all purdy????

    I am also challenged in the eye makeup department.

    So this is what i would advise u to do - go to one of the make-up counters either MAC or similar and ask for a lesson. I had to pay $30 for it at Meccacosmetica (an Australian shop) but it was well worth it. She did half my face including eyes and made me do the other half straight after while helping me and telling me what to do.

    I am a lot better at doing my own eyes now.

    I know at MAC that you can get your makeup done for 'free' if you get $45 worth of product. All the makeup artists I've ever seen are more than happy to teach you their tricks of the trade .. Honestly MACs the only place I've ever gotten it done.

    Summer I've gotten mine done at the MAC counter downtown. You don't HAVE to buy anything either, it's nice though, you can call and make an appointment. You should try it sometime, your eyes are huge! It'd look cool.

    Have you tried one of those false eyelashes applicator things? They sell them with some lashes. I think they make it easier for some people.

    Cally you need to come down to Portland! We'd totally have a slumber party. I don't know if I could fly to Seattle like my little jet-setting Susan, but I still want to meet up and do each others make up!

    Here are two eyeshadow diagrams that may help:



    (courtesy of specktra.net)

    Also here is a link to another tutorial for smokey eyes and it is pretty easy. You could do the silver inner corners or just skip them. I find gray a really easy color to work with for smokey eyes - not as dark or messy as black, but you still get the same effect.



    I think every stripper that needs makeup help should go for the makeover at MAC. Make sure you schedule an appt so you aren't constantly interrupted by customers. And get them to put lashes on you!! Makes such a big difference. I would bring in a picture of the type of look you want as well.

    I also have huge eyelids with lots of space and it is great, embrace it! You just need to learn how to work with them and that comes with practice.

    I wish I lived in Portland, I love slumber parties, esp makeup ones!

    Hey Sassy-

    I have the same problem and one of the "makeup artists" at MAC told me to give him a call and he'd set up a weekend time for me to come in and he would show me some different looks I can do. This was the MAC in Nordstrom's at Lloyd Center in Portland. I believe that there was no cost for this, but of course they'll want you to buy products you like so they can get their commission.

    The most important thig to getting false eyelaashes on easily is make sure you let the glue set for about 30 seconds before you try to apply the lashes. I always had a problem with putting on false lashes until I learned patience and let the glue set first. That makes a HUGE difference.

    I have big deep set eyes, and I've always found eye makeup difficult. Then I went and got all inspired by the "before work pics thread" and paid a visit to the MAC store.
    I also suggest doing research online for tips on how to do make up for your eye shape.
    I did and i'm much better at it now
