My most recent pics! How do I look? Do I pass? Should I go out for the first time?

My well meaning critique assuming that practice and tips are needed, and not because I’m trying to say anything is bad:

Nix the liner under the bottom lashes. Instead draw it solely on the waterline between the lower lashes and eyeball.

Start the top liner with a thin, even, and uniform line all the way across. Go slow and keep it consistent so you don’t have spots mixed in that are way thicker than others. If it hard keep it as thin as you can at first. It’s easier to go over them again to thicken the lines than it is to wash it off or spot clean it.

Don’t try to start wings from the bottom half. Slowly taper from the top/center outwards where the lid starts curving down again towards the outside, and then from the top of the wing go down diagonally to the corner of the eye where the two lids meet.

The line that’s currently there from the bottom is pretty much right underneath where you’d want the wing to be. Like the top edge of it would be just under the bottom edge of the wing. Wings are tricky and take practice. My first few dozen attempts at it were so bad I almost didn’t keep trying.

Blend the edges of the eyeshadow so it’s a fade into skin tones instead of a sharper more abrupt transition. A second darker shade on the outside would work well especially if you’re going to add liner wings.

Lighter hand on the mascara to avoid clumps and definitely don’t tilt your head too much or open your eyes super wide for a few minutes while it dries. If you do end up with dabs of it on the upper eye socket area you can spot clean it with a q-tip.
