Where do i find show makeup tips or model makeup tips?

i am on colorguard and we need big wild makeup for our show and i don't do makeup well, and i need help so we look goodWhere do i find show makeup tips or model makeup tips?
Good question. You may want to visit your local department store like Nordstroms and walk around the various makeup counters. Find someone with makeup that you really like and have that person give you a makeover. The makeup artists at the counters can also draw out where they applied which colors. If you call Nordstroms, they have this great Cosmetics Trend show that you should attend - it's free and lots of fun.





Good luck!Where do i find show makeup tips or model makeup tips?
I dont have a clue as to whaat colorguard is...but here's how to do 'show' makeup: Start with 'pancake'-type heavy coverage makeup. Using the fingertips on both hands scoop out enough to generously cover your entire face, neck and maybe even your chest if you're showing cleavage...and if you are showing cleavage your contour the valley between your breasts with blush, seriously blended powder blush. Any way back to the foundation appllication: Bring both hands up to your face and unsing small circular motions begin applying (as evenly as you can) from the hairline, covering the eyelids, even lashes is okay, continue, working in well over the nose, lightly around the ears, moving forward, cover your lips, chin and neck as far down as you need to go. Even out obvious blotches. You're gonna look pretty creepy about now...but bear with me...its not a quick process. Next apply some loose powder, fluffing it on all over the makeup --just be sure to cover fairly heavily; the powder 'sets' the make up, leave it alone for now and proceed to your eye makeup. (You'll brush off the excess powder before you apply the blush.)





You now have a perfect 'canvas' to begin painting on the features you want to play up. You know how to contour your eyes with powder eye shadow, I assume, so do the light, white all across the lid covering the whole (previously powdered) eyelid. Then contour in the deep crease, be dramatic, lighter shade goes just above the lashes.





Heavy dark eyeliner, next, blended perfectly all the way across the lid and extended to 'enlarge' your eyes.





Mascara, dark brown or black, all the way from base to tip, top and bottom. Go slow so you don't screw up the foundation you've built. Let it dry. Using a big blush-type brush lift some more face powder and fluff it on your lashes, dont worry, you're going to touch up the eyeshadow later. Apply another coat of (Maybelline Ultra Lash) and let dry. You can repeat this one more time if you have the patience. Alternatively you could use fake lashes.





Apply blush liberally contouring your cheekbones dramatically. Apply horizontally across center of forehead. Dot on under tip of your nose and your chin. Apply with brush under your chin, all the way across and out. Then apply down the middle of your neck to the hollow below.





Nearly there. If everything is lookin good you fluff on more loose powder, over everything but the eyes. Dust off the excess.





Apply lipliner over entire lip, shaping them the way you really want them. Blot, apply matt lipstick in a color to complement the blush color. Blot. Powder lips; it sets the color for the evening. Apply lipstick artfully and do not blot. Using a lighter shade of lipstick place a highlight on the center of the bottom lip to make them more pouty and defined.





Highlight the center of your lower eyelid with a blended dot of the same color used under the brow.





Fluff on a tiny bit of blush if needed on your cheeks and you're ready to go onstage.





You WILL need makeup remover or baby oil to remove this mess...don't even think about sleeping in it. Good luck and have a blast!
www.style.com will have close of pictures of the models on the runway, i don't know if they specifically give you step by step directions but you'll get ideas. plus there are some amazing outfits!
check this out!
your best bet on a short notice is to go to vogue.co.uk (I'm american but I like this site) and pull up fashion shows and look at backstage photos. then try to recreate them on a friend. keep in mind that the lighting at fashion shows is intense and that normal application needs to be amplified to withstand the lights.





for the future keep your eyes out for the U.S. opening of a makeup school that is taking off in England: http://jemmakidd.moodia.com/
