    It would really help if you posted a picture. We can really help if we see the blank canvas so we can play around with a few suggestions.

    Do you know how to even get a picture you took on the internet? How much do you know? That way, we can help you with what you don't so we can first get a picture of you on here.

    For now though, as far as makeup is concerned, try the MAC counter at your local mall, or even a store if you have one. MAC is widely used and trusted by us dancers, and they do great work. Ask if you can get a make over at one of their counters and be sure to tell them you need something dramatic yet pretty for the club.

    Okay, your complexion is very smooth, I don't think u need foundation yet. Foundation is overrated sometimes. Your skin looks good so I woould suggest a deep golden bronzer. My favorite affordable one's are by Milan (CVS) and L'oreal.

    If you're not used to applying makeup yet, I highly suggest that you check out the LatinaRose Ready for Work thread in this section. It will take a lot of guess work out of application for you, and also save us the time explaining it. BUT, lets play around with some colors. Hmmm, a very pigmented green will look stripperish and catch alot of guys eyes. I wouldn't suggest black at the moment b/c the look is an easy way to look like a raccoon, lol. But I envision bright colors on with your hue. Even a bright coral would look awesome with the contrast of your complexion and the bronzer will reflect and compliment it. You have big eyes, so you can wear full lashes without a glitch. My favs are the ones at Sallys, try out the ones with the full look to them, also make sure they are longer than what you would normally pick. It's easy to pick a pair that you may think are long and dramatic, but that will be your natural instinct to go with the demure lashes. Go for the ones that are full ( not too spikey), long in length ( the best way to compare is to hold the lashes u pick side by side on the counter, u will be able to see the difference in length easier) and full at the base.


    For your hair, I would definately lean towards a rich brown shade, black would look good, but brown would complement your complexion better. Also put texture in your hair, please don't leave the weave as is no matter how pretty it looks. U want to convince guys that you're the ultimate fantasy, unlike no other chick their. So since the majority of girls may already have the sleek look, cut subtle layers in your hair. Leave a sexy wispy bang that hangs at least to the cheekbone. That way when it falls over your eyes you can flirt and toss the sexy eyes mysteriously.
    Your eyebrows look naturally thin, no problem, just go to the MAC counter and ask them to fill in your browline. Just remember to watch closely so u can mimic the techniques, and also remember to tip your makeup girl wherever u decide to go.

    And since you have full lips and are doing a dramatic eye, please steer clear of harsh lipcolor. With a dramatic eyes u should do a nude lip, or at the least a very reliable sexy sheen (Victoria Secret lipgloss is comparable to MAC lipglass)

    I suggest you try http://www.specktra.net It is a total MAC makeup forum and they have tuturials on how to apply makeup. They also have a women of color section were they discuss the rants/raves about what shadows look best on WOC skintones. I also agree with Corsica that you should go to your local MAC counter and get a makeup. Please explain to them that you want SEXY, VIXEN makeup..not neutral everyday makeup. This is for work!

    For weave, I suggest a wispy bang as well. Have you ever worn a weave before?

    You are gorgeous and you definitely have a compliment worthy booty!

    Definitely check out specktra.net, I've learned so much about makeup and application through that site (I have the same username on there).

    I would get your brows filled in definitely. They frame your face. Don't be afraid to go to MAC and say "stripper makeup". They are used to it and I think they love doing that kind of makeup over boring neutrals. If you want to do a smokey eye, dark shimmery gray is a great alternative to black. I would also go for false lashes that are less of the natural look, more porn star. This means thick and long and guys love them. For lips, I don't any stipper is ever without some high shine gloss. Nude or clear should be a staple, but buy a hot pink or red for when you want to go light on the eyes and super sexy on the lips.

    For your hair, I would go for an 18 inch in a chocolate brown color, as mentioned above. And yes, please put some layers and texture into it. Think Victoria's Secret hair, long loose curls/waves.

    I've posted a stripper makeup tutorial with easy to follow steps, do a search and you should find it.

    Good luck!!
