Hey I am absolutely in love with your videos! I was just wondering if you could help me out? I have small dark blue down turned eyes and I can never figure out the best way to apply eye shadow for that particular shape. Thanks so much for the help! Keep up the amazing videos

Hi Shulamit, without knowing your skin tone I can’t accurately recommend colors. However, to open up your eyes, I would advise you to choose eyeshadows in light to medium tones (instead of dark shades). Also, use lots of mascara on the top and bottom lashes as this makes small eyes appear larger. To avoid drawing attention to the shape of your eyes, keep the emphasis on the eyelid as opposed to the lashline. Hope this is helpful!

PS. I am pleased you like my videos. Thanks so, so much!
Okay this is going to seem like a strange question, but how can I make my eyebrows seem fuller? My brows do not have much hair at all and I get people saying stuff about it all the time, including my husband. He is just so used to his family having nice full eyebrows. If you want, email me and I can send you a picture. Thank you so very much for your help.
Hi Erika
The best thing to do would be to have your eyebrows shaped at a reputable salon. Following that, you could fill them in to make them appear darker, fuller and more defined. For a natural finish, I would recommend using an eyebrow powder and a soft-bristled angled brush. I would suggest M·A·C’s Eye Shadows in Omega and Wedge for your coloring, and the M·A·C Medium Angled Shading Brush 275. To apply the powder, start at the inner corner of the eye and work outward using short brushstrokes. If you are not confident, go to your nearest M·A·C counter for a makeup lesson.
Hope this helps!

Love the dark, autumnal hair, which goes perfectly with the dark eyes and the rich red lipstick. A brilliant look!
