How can I improve my eye makeup? I’m not sure how to take advantage of my eye shape or thick, dark eyebrows to try out looks.

Sorry I don’t have any advice, I just wanted to say you are gorgeous and your features are stunning! Your brows/eyes/and hair are so beautiful!
Try green eyeshadow to make your eyes pop
I’ve been wanting to step up my makeup game but I’m not sure where to begin. I do watch a lot of makeup videos but when it comes comes applying it to myself, I always get confused. Here is a typical look I would do on myself. I think I’m lacking with color payoff and overall placement of the shadow. It’s hard to make my eyelashes at the end of my eyes not droop. I really think my eyebrows are a highlight of my face but I don’t have very much lid room to work with. (Also I know my brows are a bit of a mess haha they have a mind of their own). I admire looks by Ali Andreea, Hindash, Haley Kim, Julia Adams Mua, Tina Yong, and I also like Dua Lipa’s makeup usually (just so you get a sense of what I enjoy). Any suggestions or tips would help a struggling gal out.

Don’t worry about your eye shape or hair. Just experiment and find what you like 🙂 people think makeup has to be complicated and prescriptive – honestly stuff looks good on me than I would have had no idea had I not tried. But if you would like some step by step guides I highly recommend The Makeup Chair on YouTube. She makes applying eyeshadow and creating looks SO easy!
I just wanted to say you are gorgeous! That hair is to die for!! Try using a lash curler and waterproof mascara, that should stop your lashes from drooping! I find too faced better than sex is too heavy and makes my lashes droop, i have to use a waterproof mascara in one light layer, let it (mostly) dry and then add more layers. As for eyeshadow, you have to be patient, start with a small amount on your brush and blend blend blend, then keep adding more until you’re satisfied, blending is your best friend! Since you say you have small lid space, i would skip the liquid liner and use a darker shadow to create a soft line blended up with the eye shadow. Or you can just do a wing with a liquid liner, skipping your lid. You just need practice but you have great features and I am sure you’ll make anything look good
You really lucky. You have big eyelids and that means lot of space for interesting looks. I think you can wear a bold look.
