    1. This is so gorgeous! I see so much progress from your other two examples. I really love the blue and purple. Personally, I liked the thicker eyebrows from your first attempt. I can't really offer advice since I'm a major beginner but I just wanted to say I love what you've done!
       
    2. First of all let me say — wow! Be proud of yourself for how much you’ve improved. Your shading and blending, plus the mix of texture for the eyeshadow is very good!

      The only thing I would advise is using a thinner brush for your lines — especially the lines meant as highlight. Unless, of course, it’s intended and your artistic choice. Then by all means. This is really all I can say for this one. Since she seems to be a character who would have white brows I would probably use a light but not “white” color for the highlight, so the brows could pop more. But these are really things that boil down to the artistic preference of the person. ^_^ Either way I congratulate you for keeping at it. You’ll only get better and better as you go!

    3. One can seriously see your improvement and the skills you've gathered over time !! with every faceup thereares more fine details and little touches that weren't there before. All the little details on the face, especially ones that were there on the other faceups, like the brows for example, got finer and more detailed, way more small work put into them ! The only thing is, and I'm not sure if it's just a style choice or not, I would suggest making smaller strokes/using a smaller brush for certain things. EIther way it looks very pretty and I think you really got better !

      Completely agree with both of you! This was the first time I used my nail art brushes on resin and I was still getting use to it xD
      I'll definitely have thinner lines next time and make the creases off white :) thank you!
       
    5. Great job, her eyes are kind of amazing! I think you are spot on, just a bit thinner...but I love the stark white, it really shows up and makes her eyes stand out.
