Ohh I am really digging the eye’s. They look amazing.
guest
i love the eyes awesome job
guest
I really like the lipstick.
The eyes are stunning as well.
guest
Definitely found inspiration… I love any look that has a dark lashline like that one! But overall, it’s way too shimmery for me… but purdy!
guest
I was pretty distracted by the eyebrows. eek!
guest

Love it, as usual.

@sheflourishes@xanga - Me too!! They look horrible!
I like the eyeshadow, but not the eyebrows.
guest
The eyebrows would look better natural. And there is entirely too much glitter. But the eyes are great!
guest
Whoa, makeup overkill. Sorry, but that’s horrible.
guest
i like the eyes but what’s up with the eyebrows? =/
guest
the whole face is a bit too sparkley for me but i love the eyeshadow. <3

I think the bronze color speaks for itself. You don’t need the extra glitter.
guest
why did you tweeze/wax off your eyebrows?
anyways the make up is perfect! you did a good job. but i think you should lay off the tweezing for a few years.

Really pretty but maybe a little too sparkly. Good for a night out though
guest
the eye makeup looks really good but you should really think of another way to do your eyebrows. it looks super fake
guest
I like it!

@sheflourishes@xanga - eeep, me too. Lol…
I’m sure it would look good from really far away. I like the colors, but as for the fake eyelashes and the eyebrows…no go.

that is soo cute! loove the fall color and shimmer. do you have any videos of you actually putting the look together?!
guest
i like everything except the eyebrows. they look tooo extra fake!
guest
Too much glitter for my taste. You should try a more natural look, I bet you’d look great!
guest
love it! looks gorgeous with your skin tone/eye colour.
i’d go more natural with the lipstick and eyebrows though.
guest
i cant ever get my eyes like that, and i use expensive shadow.. i should start using MAC
guest
your makeup looks gorgeous, but your eyebrows terrify me D:
guest
Your eyes look really nice but the whole look is too shimmery for me.
guest
the eye make up is lovely, but a huge NONO for the eyebrows and the all-over glitter.

the eyebrows kinda ruin it..
guest
The brows are a bit much, I am assuming you’re growing them out because you filled past the natural hairs. When they grow out don’t let the arch be so exaggerated. They kind of distracted me from the look. I do love the eye makeup though.
guest
the eyes look awesome,, the brows not so much :/
guest
love the eyes but…………….what’s with the eyebrows? they threw the whole look off
guest
You’ll look more beautiful if you draw your eyebrows… not that way plz!
guest
I love the way that looks, but it’s so not my style.

The eyebrows are… weird.
guest
sorry… couldnt go past the eyebrows… >.<
guest
It’s just too sparkly, fake, and mask-like to me. The eyebrows and the fake lashes are the worst part, though. I still think there’s waaaay too many products used in these tutorials. :/
guest
beautifull

The eyes are gorgeous but the eyebrows are a bit much and take away from the beauty of the eyes. If you used the eyebrow make up closer the natural thinness of your brows it would not only look more natural but add more to the look.
Also the glitter all over the face is a bit too overwhelming. Play up one sinlge feature on your face (in this case, the eyes) and the look looks better pulled off. Doing too many things at once takes away from the over all beauty.
But all in all, I love the color palette and the shimmer idea. The glimmer is also perfect for winter in a darker shade of shadow and lighter highlights.
guest
beautiful eyes, but the eyebrows look way over done.
