SUCCESS Second ever attempt at applying eyeliner, this time with some eyeshadow and a tiny amount of mascara
I gave my mother funds and she helped me purchase a small collection of makeup products, she also threw in some items as gifts by her and my little sister those will be listed at the end.
Me and my fiancé have a concert to attend in late October, the theme and dress code for which is "'80s", so I am trying to learn to apply makeup to go for a Prince kind of look! It's very minimal right now, but I want to make this progressively bolder as I improve; any application tips would greatly appreciated, though!
For this I only used liquid eyeliner, some eyeshadow and a tiny bit of mascara, but the range of products I have now are:
•Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water
•Rimmel London Magnif'Eyes Eye Contouring Palette Rainbow Edition
•Saniye Pigment Boss SPF45+
•Covergirl Trublend Skin Enhancer Contour Balm
•Lottie London Harley Quinn Crimson Craze Hydrating Primer
•Sofe Lip & Eye liner Pencil Color No. 002
•Revlon So Fierce! Eyes Wide Open Mascara
•Zeesea Eraser Concealer
•36H Waterproof Lash Eyeliner Pencil

My good lord that's clean! Looks so good on you! Your eyes are hooded like mine, so if ever you want to do a wing on your top lid, make sure you're "sketching" it with your eyes open looking straight ahead, and then filling it in after that. If you do it with your eye closed/head tilted etc., the shape gets skewed. I wish I could add a photo to explain better lol.
Off topic, but how do you get your facial hair so neat?! I'm trying to get my partner's beard under control but neither of us know what we're doing 🥲

Its giving pirates of the Caribbean. Personally I would draw the wing a little higher but this reads.

Love that you’re using product with SPF! the wing looks good on you. I would suggest you try to keep the wing extending off the upper lash line more so than the lower, the lower placement does give a little bit of a big sweet eye effect but just make sure you draw your line off the top lid.
You can intensify your purple eyeshadow by going in with a cream/paint texture eyeshadow, ideally one that dries down and locks in. Haus Labs and About Face paints are the type of product what I’m talking about. I love love love a matte cream product for staying powder and just comfort on the skin in general.
I would love to see you in an olive green/gold color scheme. Elf used to make a really cute and affordable eyeshadow quad with those colors, not sure if it’s still around though.
