I watch videos by both of those makeup artists all the time. Are you a professional makeup artist, Fortis in Arduis?! :)

I worked consecutively for a year with (actually very good) student theatre, but quit after my first professional gig. However, I keep my hand in, and I am still using the same Kryolan stage greasepaint that I was using ten years ago.

I employed this technique on a friend last night, and then went in really very gently with dark brown eyeshadow to thicken the upper and lower lash lines, and to define her eyebrows, followed with dark brown mascara.

In her case, no blusher was required.

For the lips, I merely took some make-up remover and a cotton bud, and removed any foundation defining the lip line perfectly.

For the under eye area, I mixed some lipstick in with the paler base to create a 'salmon' colour. This worked perfectly to neutralise any greenish tones in that area, that would otherwise have arisen when yellowish foundation is applied over those blueish areas where veins tend to show through.

The effect was subtle and natural looking. I had run out of my favourite invisible translucent powder, but I found that using different shades of powder foundation over the blended contoured base helped further in creating an even, blended and subtle effect. I do not think that it is necessary to pair this contoured look with heavy eye make-up to balance it.

It was done in the during daylight in the early evening, and when the daylight later faded the result was even better. I did not take any photographs, but here are some examples of similar make up that I worked on beautiful Estonian blonde, in 2008, this time paired with the heavier eye make-up that seems to be recommended:

I think that the black eye make-up looks far too heavy here, and I did not find it necessary on my 'model' last night. I did, in fact, try going in later with black and it looked harsh. I will try it again at some point and post some photographs.
