    Make Up ??

    Yes I know I need to work on my make-up: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lifemusicmedia/2113977111/

    I need to make it more darker or at least more prominent. I'm also going to "bling" up that red dress eventually. Actually... anyone got any suggestions or hints on how I can make my eye make-up better for that show?

    I'm doing it to Peggy Lee's BIG SPENDER with the second song Tom Jones SHE'S A LADY. I call my routine Big Spender Lady


    I'm wearing pink eye-shadow with a silver/purple eye-shadow on my lids. Red is the predominant colour of the whole outfit. I have hazel eyes.

    For your eyes I would use a combination of MAC Satin Taupe, Carbon and Honeylust. Highlight your browbone with the Honeylust, use Satin Taupe on the Lid and highlight the outer-corner with Carbon. Then finish with a liquid eyeliner and mascara. For full drama use false eyelashes, and bat your eyes at will.

    Your eyebrows look a little bit too short for the length of your eyes, so I would enlongate them with a brow pencil. It will make your eyes look a lot more dramatic.

    If you want to go with dramatic lips, you could use MAC Russian Red lipstick but I would go easier on the eyemakeup if you do.

    You look very washed out in that picture, but I guess it could be the lighting. What foundation are you using? You need to accent your cheekbones with bronzer more.

    I'm looking for something to do Boxing Day (yeah, I'm hoping to get some of the sales like everyone else!)..... I've got a budget... and this make up is going to be especially for my Burlesque (not for work). SMS me if you want to go Make Up shopping with me locally (Westfield Helensvale).

    Um.. Liquid Eyeliner.. yeah.. I don't even know how to use pencil eyeliner... any eyeliner you see on me is thanks to a Make Up Artist Is it a case of practise makes perfect?

    If you want to see what my face looks like.. go to the "Introducing Lady Vee" thread in Picture Post... I feel my eyebrows are fine... have a look there and tell me if you still think they need elongating? (The MUA who did my make up for those pics didn't do anything to my eyebrows.)

    I would prefer to highlight my eyes over my lips. I'm more expressive in my eyes.

    It is the lighting as you will see when I eventually get around to uploading part of the whole routine to YouTube.

    I had blush on .. except it looks like not enough even tho' I thought it was enough. Damn.

    Practice makes perfect. Practice, practice, practice. Your body is your canvas.

    In burlesque there is no such thing as too much blush! Or too much anything either. Drama is everything! Don't hold back on anything.

    .. I'm feeling a beauty spot too.

    My makeup is pretty simple, but very dramatic. I'm makeup-retarded, and can't use my brushes like an artist.

    I go for either Mac Beauty Marked (a rich black with this subtle plum shimmer in it) or Mac Brun (dark brown) on my lid from lash to crease. Dark dark dark. I look like a circus freak on the subway if I do my makeup before coming in, but when I see myself in the mirror in the club it makes me look very seductive and mysterious. This is a very easy way to make yourself look made-up without knowing all the techniques.

    I dont know if they have Sephora over there, but I also SUCK at applying false lashes, so I bought this product called Fiber-Wig. Its basically like a mascara that you paint on the tips of your lashes, and it makes them SUPPPPPER long without the hassle of trying to glue falsies perfectly along your lash line. Also, another trick to making the lashes long is to use an old mascara application brush thats been cleaned and washed to brush out your lashes after you put mascara on. This takes away the volume that makes a bunch of coats of mascara look spider-y and just leaves you with the length.

    So my mascara routine is this-
    -Coat of mascara
    -Brush lashes out with clean mascara wand
    -Another coat
    -Another brush out
    -Coat
    -Curl
    -Fiber-Wig until hearts content

    for a cheap alternative to MAC, go for masquerade, its available at that gypsy rose store at pac fair. expect to pay around $10 an eyeshadow...they will teach you how to use it all, and its made for stage, they might even be able to show you good stage makeup tips etc

    I was speaking in reference to all the photos in the "Introducing Lady Vee" picture post thread not that picture (that I posted a link to in the original post)...

    You read my mind. I was seriously thinking of going there as I know that store would suit me now for what I require



    Thank you so much everyone. :

    Plus you are correct, there is no such thing as too much make-up for Burlesque.. it is about being theatrical.. just that I'm such a tom-boy! I'm definately make-up retarded. I really want to make a go of the Burlesque in 2008 ... and so I know I need to perfect two routines (which I am doing by performing them more and more), make my costumes better (thus the "bling"-ing of them up) and definately work on my make-up.

    I also recommend pen-liners. Takes practice but well worth it. Also, fake lashes on top or outer corners.

    I'd also head to my ocal MAC store for ideas and to have an artists play with my face! Then I'd head to the drug store to buy the knock offs (possibly w/ exception to base for the stage).

    Browse through magazines for make up ideas too.

    Oh yeah, and eye brows are quite important! I fill them in for stage (but not during the day). If you live in a city where they have Indian women who thread eyebrows - I highly recommend them. They tend to shape brows very well.

    I think you should do black winged liner, thick false lashes, and red red lips. Like Dita. Let Lysondra help you, it's so much easier to learn from a friend in person than it is online.

    I don't want to be a copy. I want to be Lady Vee. Lady Vee is sexy, sassy, naughty and fun! I want my eyes to be the focus not my lips. I've never been a big fan of my lips and have always been complimented on my eyes and how I'm very expressive in them thus I want them to be the focus.

    I wouldn't say you'd be "copying" Dita - it would be more like incorporating her look into your own. I think the black winged look would like lovely on your eyes, and perhaps a subtle lip stain with clear gloss - so your eyes are the focus and your lips complement the look.

    Just my 2c worth..

    Totally. Dita isn't the only one who does this look. Um - Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, etc.....

    I, personally, think it'd look hot on you.

    Falsh lashes make even the shittiest makeup application look good. I have no idea why but its like, amazing. I bought those books by Kevin Aucoin..theyre great.



    I taught myself makeup - I would sit at my vanity and try different things everyday. Eventually I got really really good. Liquid liner is like a freakin art form but once you get it down its easy as 1-2-3. Same for lashes...

    As long as you know how to apply liquid liner and false lashes, you can have an instantly glam look that doesn't take very much time at all. So worth learning.

    And I don't think you'd be copying Dita either. So many celebs do this look and anyways, it's not like they didn't find the inspiration from someone else.

    I've always been concerned that apply-ing false lashes will harm my already lush lashes (is this a myth?). I've always been told I have naturally lush lashes... just that I need to make my natural lashes "more" so I would prefer to do so with mascara than fake lashes.

    Tho' I have heard what y'all have said about the liquid liner. I definately need to get the hang of it.

    Like I said - eyeliner pen. It's liquid eyeliner... in a pen. If you can scribble your name, you can have pretty eyes.
