    This tutorial was great! One thing I’d like to mention is that it is nice to see that you have blemishes, I know that we all loathe blemishes, but I always think youtubers (makeup gurus) have perfect skin, but really, everyone is human. And the fact that you have them, yet you’re still confident and obviously beautiful makes you that much more relatable and inspiring! 🙂

    Looks really nice. Definitely taking that on board – I’ve been looking for a way to apply my eye liner so my eyes look a bit slimmer. I have used a method before, but I think I’m going to actually try yours, to see if I have any luck with it.

    Ah.. You’re just so gorgeous ^^
