C

AppleSetsSail · 16/01/2016 13:56

I think it reflects some talent, but not what I would consider artful.

chillycurtains · 16/01/2016 14:01

C. They would need a fair bit of training too I think.
The design is nice and but I think the application needs some work. The eye lashes are not applied in quite the right place. The eye make up looks a little patchy.
OP, assuming you are the person who applied this, be encouraged and seek some training to learn the correct application skills. Your style is good in my opinion.

Wolpertinger · 16/01/2016 14:01

C or E. At least 50% needs to come off.

EponasWildDaughter · 16/01/2016 14:09

It looks dated to me. Late 80s.

Brows and blush slightly off. But it might be meant to look that way. For a specific shot? Specific period?

Without any context it's hard to say if it's good.

CakeNinja · 16/01/2016 14:12

It looks like the noob option whatever that was!
If noob means newbie.
Resembles someone who got a load of new stuff for Christmas and is trying it all out together!
The lips and eyes are both pretty but far far too much for my liking (I don't wear makeup and hate this heavy slap but think it's more attractive when only eyes or lips stand out).

It does look like its on fine but resembles my dds playing with all the colours in their makeup box only much neater Grin

WorraLiberty · 16/01/2016 14:27

Probably b)

Either way, imo it's far too heavy and doesn't look very nice.

Amummyatlast · 16/01/2016 14:41

B or e

SirChenjin · 16/01/2016 15:25

Ok - do we get an answer now or are you still looking for more posts?

TiggyD · 16/01/2016 15:30

The lack of responses leads me to think the OP is a C who wants to become a D.

ghnocci · 16/01/2016 15:36

B or E I'm afraid. Too much around the eyes and nor blended together well enough (to my untrained eye anyway.)

SuburbanRhonda · 16/01/2016 15:40

Definitely C.

But this boring now, OP.

Ebb · 16/01/2016 15:44

A) The 🙈 I vote the monkey! Grin

DotForShort · 16/01/2016 15:49

It looks very overdone to me, far too much IMO (but then I am not a fan of heavy makeup in general).

Excited101 · 16/01/2016 15:50

D, your style or not, it's been done very well

BeanGirls · 16/01/2016 16:00

C because the eye lashes look funny and make up is a bit cakey and for that reason also possibly E.

laflaca · 16/01/2016 16:02

It looks like a theatrical make up, so I'm voting for E.

DotForShort · 16/01/2016 16:03

Oops, just noticed I didn't actually answer the question. I would say B.

AlmaMartyr · 16/01/2016 16:04

D.

Thumbcat · 16/01/2016 16:04

Definitely C. They love to slap on a good, inch thick layer. Good luck getting it all off.

CaptainCrunch · 16/01/2016 16:04

A drag queen with a tremor, new to the world of make up application.

GingerFoxInAT0phat · 16/01/2016 16:06

Post your photo on the mrsgloss&thegoss beauty group on Facebook. You'll get more opinions from people who love make up (and are very kind!)

Personally I like strong eyes and lips, you've done a good job, I think C.

AliciaMayEmory · 16/01/2016 16:15

Am assuming it is your work, OP. There is a lot of work gone into it, but there is just way too much make up and it looks 'placed' rather than creating an effect IYSWIM. I'm not explaining myself very well. Some people can apply eyeliner so that it changes the shape of their whole eye (for example the flick at each outer corner making them look more feline), where as other people just look like they have drawn a black line over their eye. There is a difference. The blusher is sitting on the cheeks rather than enhancing, and the lips are very 1990's Rimmel collection.

Shakey15000 · 16/01/2016 16:19

I'd say it had essence of drag queen tbh. It's quite heavy and the eye shadow areas are quite defined rather than blended. And the lips are strong.

But I don't know too much about products or application to be fair and I've done the same make up on myself for the last 30years Smile

Maybe a before/after shot. Because if, say the model is riddled with acne then it's a fucking good transformation.
