Comments
Alexis: lol pretty little liars
Michelle: Is this Kim Kardashian? We don't care about her
TorriWyatt: So helpful! I know I'm just supposed to know this stuff, but I really like reading these how-to articles
OhMeOhMy10: I like to change up the color combos... i.e. Light shades rather than dark, or mix it up completely different as to what this post suggests when I am feeling bold and vice versa!!!!
Taylor: This is not Kim. Just a girl with on fleek makeup
Taylor: If your eyes are hooded, place your crease colours a bit higher to open your eyes up. Also try to apply brighter/lighter colours in the centre of your lid to open your eyes up. Depending on your eye shape, shimmer on your brow bone can make your brow bone look bigger (draw light to your brow bone if it droops to low which isn't too attractive)
