but I saw a RuPaul video on makeup application.  A young gal did it (video) and came out looking like his makeup was on her by the time she was done.  It was amazing. You can see it on You Tube.  Some of his makeup is amazing (on him).  I wish I would have known some of these tricks ages ago. LOL  Woman Wink

Re: OK, it's not about beauty

@qualitygal-

That was fun to watch.

I also liked her voice.

But aiyiyi! so much work!

I'm ready for a nap!

 

(I have always done some of the same things with eyes just from learning about makeup in theater in college.

Basically, areas you want to emphasize, highlight and areas you want to de-emphasize, you can darken.

Though on the very corner of the eyelid and on up you can darken and it will draw attention to that like a deep dramatic eye.

Maybe its the contrast between dark and light that can emphasize this area.
