Re: Where am I going wrong?
Maybe it would help if you actually defined your eyes in a specific technique to enhance them - i.e. a deeper socket for more depth or smokey look towards corner to intensify eyes or even a darker shadow on the upper socket/bone to lengthen and really enhance the eyes..
Also, a base all-round would also help eyeshadow stand out better - its fair enough to say that a primer would help make the eyeshadow set and stand out better, but the whole look is event better enhanced if u have applied a foundation base on the whole of your face - this doesnt have to be anything heavy or 'cakey' - even if its a light tinted foundation wid a dusting of powder it makes all d difference in enhancing the whole look... oh! and also, concealer dabbed under eye vry lightly can diminish the 'lack of sleep' look that we all have time to time, giving us a better overall makeup base...
Also, for special occasions u can try shaping your eyebrows wid a good pencil to giv it more length or curve/arch and also even apply individual lashes to the corner of your eyes for more of a dramatic style... but if its jus everyday look then two coats of mascara applied on top lashes only would be ideal...
hope dat helps x
