I’m so sorry this is so lengthy, I tried to get it to size correctly in a text post but it just wouldn’t cooperate, so I was stuck doing this! D: My apologies.
Nevertheless, here it is! These are the steps I take to get ready to perform in a 2,500 seat auditorium, and it’s an amalgamation of what I learned in college in makeup class and from personal experience out in the field. I didn’t go into the nitty gritty of how to do a smokey eye look, as you can find tons of tutorials for that online.
But the big thing that we’re trying to achieve here is making it so people can see your expression and see your eyes. Your expression is going to be dictated by your cheeks, mouth, and eyebrows primarily. Your eyes are going to be dictated by how you use your eyeliner, eyeshadow and eyelashes. That’s what we need to exaggerate. These are the basics, but we all find things that work for our own faces, because we’re all different!
Hope you all enjoy, let me know if this was helpful!
