False Eyelash Tips

For a strong hold, apply adhesive to false lashes, count to 20 and then apply over a clean lashline. Once dry, apply mascara over both natural and false lashes.

What’s that white pencil for?

White pencil is used to accentuate your eyes. You will want to line the inside of your eyelids with it to make your eyes appear larger on stage.

Colors

Blusher & Bronzer

A peachy blush is perfect for this look. For fair/ivory tones use an apricot shade, for beige and olive tones use a mocha-peach for darker tones use a spicy peach.

Eye shadow & Liner

Pale beige on the upper lid. For a stronger effect, use a cream eye shadow.

Add a hint of jade, avocado or bronze near the lashes.

Near the brow (in the upper arch), the inside corners of the eyes and on top of cheek bones, add a cream eye shadow for highlighting.

Note: Mermaid (MK Eyesicles™ would look great, too.

Lipstick, Liner & Nails

Finish your face off with a spicy coral lipstick. Don’t forget to line your lips before applying lipstick! A matte finish looks great for stage, but you might also want to consider metallic shades – they were very hot in the 60s in both lip and nail colors.
