so helpful :D!

you should either write for allure, or do literature for MAC, or write make up how to books, or something. cause seriously i've seen lots of online tutorials from "make up artists" but they are rarely as clear and as well spoken as you, no matter how good or bad they are at makeup. and they don't understand what non makeup artists don't know. besides that, you're AMAZINGLY talented.

lol, I'm afraid I'm way too verbose, really. I used to own an online magazine a few years ago as well as write novels (or attempt to, not too many successes, LOL), so I'm just naturally wordy. I fear that it's not needed in tutorials!

Thank you for the huge compliment, though :) I really try to explain things piece by piece in case someone who's JUST bought their first eyeshadow could understand as much as someone who has an entire MAC store in their bathroom would.

i dont think you're too verbose at all! i know what you mean though, i am a writer as well and sometimes i can get wayyyy to wordy on simple internet type things since i'm used to writing things with more structure than that.

but i think your clarity and detail (rather than assuming the reader is already on the same page as you) are really helpful. the fact that you explain every step makes it a lot easier for someone like me who doesn't know much about the subject or maybe doesn't always get every reference made right away.
