Russian Whore

So this is the makeup i wore for my ballet recital.
it's also my first attempt at a step by step photo tutorial.
i had to leave out some photos cos they were rank and blurry or so yellow they were unsaveable.
but i'll describe it as best i can.
This is really heavy makeup because i wore it on stage and the lights bleach out some of the colour, plus you sweat it off if you don't wear much.

After applying your usual foundation routine (making sure it is completely and totally MATTE), and a base, use a light grey or silver eyeshadow over your entire lid. Make sure it's quite heavy.




In the outer corners, use a darker grey eyeshadow, again, heavily.


I didn't get a photo of step three but this is the finished eye product. Apply a dark brown or black eyeshadow in the crease, then line the top with liquid eyeliner, extending flicks out to the side.
Epic amounts of mascara are a must for the stage, unless you have freakishly dark, loong eyelashes.


Line and fill your lips with a lip liner or lip crayon that matches your lipstick.


Go over the liner with your matching lipstick. I used a revlon lipstick in .. black cherry?, and then blot the bastards!


now using a lighter lipstick, go over the top. Whee pretty and shiny right?

sorry for the lack of blush photos, i was too stupid to remember to take any :)
Just apply ludricous (but not tooo ludicrous) amouts of a reddish-pink blush on your cheekbones, with a little extra on the apples of your cheeks.

hope its ok!
