First of all, wanna greet a

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOOXPERIMENTS!

Two years old, eh? If you're an infant I bet you're able to walk & run steadily now. And yes, I can see Looxperiments is now steadily grounding my heart (haiyaaaahh...). Always love love love all your posts. Always read them on my spare time at work and apply the tutorial if they're fitted the occasion I'm attending to.

But hey, compliments make appreciation and critics make introspection. All for the sake of self-improvement, right? So face the fact, I'm criticizing & giving suggestions for you now. Though I have to admit there're not much to criticize anyway, LOL.

Yeap. Here they are [Pum pududuum p'duuum!] :

1. Do more of tutorial video!

    Trust me. Practice makes perfect. To practice, "read the manual" is important. And I do believe, manual on visualization is better.

2. Spare some spot!

    I don't know if it's a common thing for a beauty blog to do, but I think your blog will gain positive reactions if you can spare some spot for just one day in a month for your followers to share their fave make up tools / cosmetics during that month. Some sort of "January Fave!" blog. Can be a writing or a Vlog. To choose that person each month [OST, bimonthly will do better], post the announcement a week before, tell them to share their writings / Vlogs about their fave make up via email and you be the judge to choose one. Anyway, just a thought ;)

3. Go-pro!

    Since Looxperiments is rising like rocket now entering its second birthday, gotta gain more and more attention from the make-up learners like me, eh? So I guess how lovely if all pictures posted in the blog can use some more pro [If not, semi-pro will do] photography tools [Like camera, lenses, tripod] or the editing software like Photoshop, Corel or Picasa and I do hope for some improvement in the lighting as well ^^

Though what's inside is most important, I can't deny that my first impression is formed from the visual that my eyes succeed catching.

and last but not least,

4. Keep it on the ground!

    It goes to the page design and layout. Keep the background page with neutral colors. Don't add too much "accessories" on the side bar excepts for some useful links bout make-up or maybe your Youtube channel [If one day you finally decide to make one]. It's a playground, yes... But please, let all those colors be painted in our faces, not your background page.

I guess that's that. Once again happy birthday Looxperiments! You've done a great job and I believe they're still many to come for us to learn more about this paint-on-face art thingy. Keep us playing with you. Luv ya! *smooches*
