What make-up techniques can you not do? I cannot do my eyeliner at all, I end up looking like Alice Cooper and contouring just confuses me at every stage xx

I cannot contour to save my life, and I'm absolutely dreadful at eyeshadow blending. I can't do a smoky eye without looking like I've been punched in the face >.< x

I can't contour either! I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I'm also useless at putting on fake eyelashes!

I still can't do it. I just smudge all of the colours together so it doesn't look light to dark, it just looks dark all over >.< |

I just smudge all of the colours together so it doesn't look light to dark, it just looks dark all over >.< The Urban Decay eyeshadows are perfect to use because they are super creamy and blendable. I know I've struggled in the past with blending when the eyeshadows haven't been so good. Maybe the brush you're using is too big? I do mine by putting my lid colour on first and then using a small brush to add colour to my crease and outter corner (my fave is one my Nanshy) and then I use the MAC 217 to blend them. I only place the brush on the crease or swirl it around the outta corner / middle though so you keep the definition of the two colours. Hope that helps. x |

Yes I would be interested! It just looks so unnatural whenever I do it even if I blend.. It just looks like a random darker stripe blended in lol

I technically know how to contour, but I still need practice on how to contour on myself because I have a round face and sadly, you can't just apply the 'regular contouring method' and expect it to come out the same on every face shape.
I'm working on trying different angles to try and make it look more natural on me.
