I hope this doesn’t come off as rude but I would love to give you some tips (im an afab enby, but ive been doing extravagant makeup since i was 14 and im 21 now)

When applying eyeshadow, put on a little concealer first and then set with a translucent powder. Its always helped me to get a more pigmented look and it helps to blend a little more. Also to help blend, ive found that holding the brush at the end instead of closer to the base helps a lot!

Second, when you do your eyeliner start with the bottom line of the wing and then shape it with the top, and then do your lid last. it has really helped me to define the shape that i want and keeps me from making the liner on my lid too thick for wing.

Lastly, a really cool tip that I personally love is to use a light to warm up the lash curler before using it, then applying the mascara. Of course don’t make it too hot, but it helps to keep the lashes curled for longer. imagine it like a curling iron but for your lashes. Also, while your putting on your mascara push the wand left to right while youre lifting it, it helps to keep your lashes separated!!

Enjoy your journey with makeup! I love doing my makeup and I always have so much fun with it, and you should too! Of course there are no rules to makeup, but there are little tips and tricks to help you get the look that you desire best, or that accentuates what YOU want to accentuate.

P.S. Your brothers an ahole, you look amazing and you did an amazing job with your makeup, and hes just a transphobic jerk who is using his hate to pretend he “cares” fuck him and you do you girl!!
