Hiii, first off you are amazing! Just a few questions, why use retro and not just bark again? I'm not too familiar with the colors but are they very different? (For someone who would like to purchase the colors for the look!) And also, there's a different type of liner brush that I use; it's not the skinny one like yours. Do you have any reasons why you choose not to use that one? THANKS!

Bark is a dark brown liner. Retro looks black unless you put it next to a true black. I used Retro instead of bark because in the video it looks like she is wearing black liner. But I didn't want it to be to harsh so I went with retro. You could just use Bark but the overall look might be softer. The liner brush I used for this look makes both very thin lines and thick lines. If you use a different brush just be sure to get close to the lash line. E-mail me if you need more info. Thanks!

Love your different looks Becky, you do such a fantastic job! One suggestion though...invest in some natural daylight bulbs, it would help us see you and your work better.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've haven't had much luck getting the lighting right, even though I had tried lots of things. I will try some of those natural light blubs. Thanks!
