Just popping 1 more pic up that was with my main lens. I think my selfie lens filtered the pics.

This is a much better angle for your selfies! The one in the main photos is not a good angle— try to get the camera up to at least eye level and tilted down slightly.

No notes on the makeup. 10/10. That lip job is INCREDIBLE. Especially for a beginner, but in general it’s just amazing. Base is great, blush and highlight well placed. Eyes could have more but what’s there is really great. Maybe mascara?

Brow shaping would tie things together a whole lot, but not everyone wants to commit to that.

Overall great job. Hope you felt beautiful, because you look terrific.

Check out "hooded eyelid" eyeshadow tutorials. Make up is like drawing/ art. The goal is to achieve The Greek face shape. Shading makes a huge difference! Cheater tip: Once you discover where your shading needs to be, apply LIGHT self-tanning lotions to those areas. Rub it in VERY WELL & use tiny amounts after showering or before bed. It helps on chill days to still look great without makeup & becomes a good guide for daily application. 😘 May the Force Be With You! Lol

Do you use a lighted make up mirror? REALLY HELPS! The light & magnifying is great to really see what's blending, where streaks are & lining the eyes & eyebrows.

I like it! It’s a good simple every day look.

Still looks great! And less of a makeup tip, but this is definitely more of the vertical angle you should go for in your selfies- it looks like you had the camera a bit low in the main post, and that’s hard for anyone to pull off :) you look lovely!
