So i got my hands on some good liquid eyeliner, that allows to actually make thin lines so here I Am. I would really like to hear some feedback tips, tricks etc.

Left Eye:

Right Eye

I also did some basic eye-shadow and kinda fucked up so instead of removing the shadow under my right eye I just made it worse lol.

Also tried out fake lashes, but that went horribly wrong when trying to apply them.
