    i love smokey eye!
    but when i apply it i tend to look like a goth!
    i am fair skined and have blonde hair so the jet black goth look insn’t right!
    im also a teenager! and don’t want to look to old or sluty for my age!

    Thank you for all your videos me and my girl friends was watching them on our sleepover and doing the make-up to each other!

    well..i love smokey eyes but i’m really clumpsy when it comes to make up. when i decided to search on youtube about some beauty tips, i believed i would see thousands of vids that would help me out. I was really dissappointed when all of those make up artists started talking sooo fast and not showing me what to do.Thank God i saw your vids cuz now i make up in 5mins. it’s very nice that you do the makeup application on yourself cuz it’s really easy for us to understand.
    thanks for all
    keep up the great work

    Hi.
    I just want to thank you for your videos!
    I’ve always had a hard time doing makeup ’cause I always run with boys and not girls, so there’s never been one to help me out, but by watching your videos I’m beginning to be able to do more than just simple mascara!

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Sandy,

    Do you have any tips for stage makeup? Last year we did a show with dim lights and everyone’s face looked so white with messy red lips and blush. I am considering taking over the makeup part this year and I have to apply stage makeup to the entire cast (60 people) 6 times for our show. Is it necessary to do the white base first? Any tips would help. I really enjoy your site. Thanks!

    Hey, I love your videos but the only problem is..
    I watch them and then forget how to do them.
    It would be easy if we could download them.
    Thanks.

    Thanks so much! I have searched and searched for a tutorial on how to do the smokey eye and this seems really easy. I just have one question. When you apply the black eye liner to the outer corner of your eye, are you applying to the inside corner(like the tight liner technique) of the eye or on the top outer corner? Thanks again!!
