After so many requests for a makeup video specifically for dancers with Asian eyes, here it is!  This is the first of two (2) how-to makeup video for Asian eyes that I will be posting.  This look is the more difficult of the two I will present but you can easily achieve it with practice.

Step by step printable instructions appear after you take the LEAP…

 I use the JAM cosmetics Prima Diva Essentials Performance Makeup Kit

1. Start with clean, moisturized skin.
2. After applying foundation, apply loose powder under eyes to catch any drops of dark eye shadow that may fall.
3. Fill in eyebrows with Fear Me (brown) Mineral Eye Shadow.
4. Apply Elegant Me (peach) Mineral Eye Shadow to lids.
5. Apply Innocent Me (white) Mineral Eye Shadow to brow bones.
6. Apply Fear Me (brown) Mineral Eye Shadow to lash line and crease and blend together at outer corners of eyes.
7. Brush away loose powder
8. Using a damp/wet makeup brush, apply Innocent Me (white) Mineral Eye Shadow to inner corner of eyes.
9. Apply Fear Me (brown) Mineral Eye Shadow as an eyeliner under the lower lashes leaving a space.
10. Using a damp/wet liner brush, apply Double Dare Me (black) Mineral Eye Shadow as an eyeliner on the top lash line.
11. Apply JAM cosmetics White Highlighter Pencil in between lower lash line and lower eyeliner.
12. Apply White Highlighter Pencil in inner lower lash line.
13. If lashes are straight, curl them with a lash curler before applying false lashes.
14. Apply false lashes.  Need help?  See How to Properly Apply False Lashes.
15. Apply mascara to coat and bind real lashes to false lashes.
16. Apply Superstar Mineral Blush
17. Using a makeup sponge, apply Innocent Me (white) Mienral Eye Shadow to tops of cheekbones.
18. Line and fill lips in with Warm Brandy Lip Pencil
19. Apply Fierce (red) Mineral Lip Stick
20. Check your HOT self out in the mirror and go dance your butt off!

FYI:  Everything listed above is available in the Prima Diva Essentials Kit. 

Keep dancin’ PRETTY!
