Guiding Principle - your hair needs to be completely off your face and we are going for a slick, clean look (so no strands, whisps, or intentional fly-aways).
Straight hair: tidy high ponytail (all hair off your face):
Straight hair: tidy half back (all hair to your ears pulled back)
Curly hair: half back
Curly hair: all back
MAKEUP
Here is a tutorial for what we're after for the eyes. It's basically a smoked out winged eye. So, no hard black liner to create the wing ... use tape and dark shadow. You can use you're own shadows (or mix and match with friends!) but it should be neutrals, not bright colours. Also, falsies aren't needed - just a couple of coats of black mascara.
As for the rest of your face, we're going with standard stage makeup. If that doesn't mean a lot to you, here are the basics:
- foundation (important) - could be slightly darker than your regular shade - beware of anything that makes you look more "porcelain" or lighter than regular ... you'll look like a ghost!
- blush about 2x darker than you would normally be willing to wear
- a lip colour that enhances your regular lip colour but is not dramatically brighter or darker.
Here's a video tutorial if you'd like one. Just remember that the eyes are going to be as above, rather than the standard that this woman is doing.
