about this video:

when applying makeup for dance and/or performances, many people think they need to apply bright blue eyeshadow, bright lips, and an abnormal amount of blush! not true!

in this video, robert will teach you how to define the features and make them “seen” under those bright stage lights without making them obnoxiously overdone.

your end result will be a perfectly balanced face that will not draw attention away from what the model is performing.
