They have a sample pack for $15 and you can try 5 different things - you choose. The samples will last you, even though they look tiny. There is a $15 sample size of the thorn oil - mine came broken but they responded by email the next business day and immediately sent me a replacement, I am awaiting it. I’ve heard it’s a holy grail for many. The packaging is so nice. The brand is super open minded and incredible to interact with on IG. I can’t say enough good things - I’m about to place another order for some more stuff to play with. I highly suggest you check them out. It shows they carry RdF at an ulta the next town over, so I’m gonna try to go soon and check it all out in person.

You did a really good job at including small details, which are so important for a beginner like me. Also thankyou for explaining some of the terms such as blending and shading. I bought an eyebrush set the other day, and I had no clue how or when to use certain brushes. I think my favorite part was when you said to use a smaller brush as you transition.

    A nice tip I got from a Dior makeup artist is to not tap the brush, but to gently touch it to the back of your hand. This ensures you get no fallout, while retaining more pigmentation on the first go. Hope this helps anyone that might find tapping wasteful or that it reduces pigmentation by a lot if done vigorously. Obviously, different formulas will have different pigmentation and fallout, but this tip has helped me a lot - especially when working with slanted brushes to do liner work with shadow.

      Try just one color! You can lay a piece of folded tp from the corner of your eye to the end of you brow. Pick a shade that matches your bronzer or contour shade and start with a fluffy brush all over the lid. Then use the exact same shade with progressively smaller/denser brushes as you work towards the outer edge where the tp is. Once you take the tp away you can use the fluffy brush again to blow out the edge a little if you don't want it so sharp. Can't get muddy with one color. 😉💗

    This was so great to see exactly how you build the color in the crease. I have slightly hooded eyes so this detail about the color in the eye socket was great! I would love to see color as I do have a lot of pallets with colors in them but I am never exactly sure how and where the color should go. Thanks 😊

    Hey Alex! I’m a long time viewer, and I love how you balance the bright or bold colors in your eye tutorials! I’ve been wearing makeup for 30 years now, and I’ve been having fun with it for 15. I used those ridiculous sponge applicators that came in my palettes for the 1st 15 and used my fingers since 2009. I’ve been using brushes and creams a LOT since watching your videos, and while I’d say my eyeshadow is pretty on point now, I’m struggling a little with brushes for the REST of my face! Would you be willing to do a tutorial or just correct brushes for everything? You have all the info out there already, but it would be insanely helpful if you could maybe put it all in one video???

      @louise3953 2 года назад +2

      @@hopefulforhumanity5625 I prefer warm neutrals, corals, peach etc for my light olive skin! For shape I recommend starting to look at K-pop/East Asian makeup looks. Most examples will probably have double eyelids but the shadow placement is different. Darker shades still on the outer corners but instead of making a crease where there isn’t one, the definition is created by placing those colors nearer to the lash line of that makes sense. The biggest
      Game changer for me was figuring out that the most flattering eyeliner shape for me is more straight rather than than upturned-it gives a cat eye effect that enhances my natural eye shape instead of trying to create a different one. Whew sorry for the essay!
      TLDR: follow East Asian makeup trends. They know how to flatter Asian eyes much better than most western makeup artists

    • @cinemaocd1752
      @cinemaocd1752 2 года назад +4

      Yes, I think because the shimmer shade goes up above the lid into the crease. You don't need to use a concealer to cut the crease, the old school way of doing it, is pretty much what you see here.

      In my opinion it's really more of a halo eye because the "spotlight" is right on the middle while the corners are darker. If I wanted to find more looks like this I would not search for cut creases.
      I have seen a makeup artist refer to just about anything with a shimmer laid on top as a cut crease though. 🤷‍♀️
