I was doing costume design but walked before the end of last year as there was alot of favouritism going on in the class, also my tutor called me a stripper to another class and was apparently 'disgusted' with my pics even though I was always introduced as 'this is the burlesque dancer' to anyone.....anywya I digress, I got fed up of the 2 faced ness and got out before it drove me nuts - now I make pasties and fascinators as an inbetween while figuring out what I wanted to do

phew, sorry for the mini rant/essay lol xx

OMG... your tutor is a twat!!! Why dont you study costumery somewhere else? You shouldn't let nastiness put you off track. 99% of bitchyness comes from jelousy, so you should take it as a complement How long did you have left on your course?

I've been thinking about going back to uni, I have a degree in textiles and fashion but i quite fancy studing costume design, altho im scared it might be quite repeditive as I'm pretty confedent with patterns and design. If you ever want any help with costumes or anything give me a shout, i have a fully equipt sewing room in my house!

I have always fancied make up artistry too... if you ever need anyone to practice on I volenteer myself

Stage Make Up:

Now is amazingly diffrent than your everyday wear, This is not alittle of this and that. You have to make your face stand out, Not like a drag queen but if you do study them they do have afew tricks.

FAKE EYELASHES: They pop your eyes out

Black Eyeliner: Opens your eyes

Full Lash Mascara: It helps the lashes look real an fuller. (keeps them in place)

Blush: Contures your face shape

Lip Stick: RED!!! pops out your face

This are the basics,
Look at your face and figure out how much of stament you want to make with it, Your dance and outfit must be amazing but bad make up can make it go bad quick.

Im going to post links later today to pictures so you guys can see

Apply the eye primer on the top of your lids a little bit goes a long way, Then under your eyes a bit.
Then place the concelar under your eyes and cheek bones it will work as a enhancer and cover up.
