How do you apply L'oreal H.I.P. makeup so it looks good?

Question

HIP is just like MAC.
okay, so u use a sponge brush and fingers to blend it in.. i kno that part..
but how do u make it look cool?
like how the MAC models have it
even tho they have professional stuff

how much do u put on, where do u start when applying it, how far do u go around the eye [top, bottom, left right], how much do u put under the eye?

oh and i have really tiny eyelids.. so i hafta put it on above the eye and below my eyebrows..
and sometimes it looks really bad..
i bought duo colors gold and purple
but i dont wana put the purple on so it makes me look like have a bruise on my eye.. or that im a slut or something.

Answer 1

This is going to sound ridiculous but it absolutely works. Get the palettes you want to use. Tear out pictures from magazines of faces you want to emulate. Tape the pictures RIGHT NEXT to your mirror. Start slow and try to mimic the exact look from the magazine. Do this over the bathroom sink so you can apply, remove, reapply as needed. I mastered makeup application as well as drawing faces in this way. I promise it works. Practice practice practice makes perfect.

Answer 2

hmm welll...HIP can't be compared with MAC on quality. It's obvious that HIP was going for the MAC packaging look, but they missed when it came for the ingredients. MAC eyeshadows are very vibrant and shows right when applied.

Answer 3

u cant go buy some mac its the best nothing else compairs to it.

Answer 4

just test different techniques until you get it perfect. maybe you can go to a salon and ask them to tell/show you how.
