This is a great clip thanks for posting it! As a student performance makeup for dance has been stumping me and this will be awesome inspiration.

Breathtaking!

very cool....

Wow - I love makeup! especially arabic eyes!!!

What I want to know is how to apply to get those looks. ..c:: If someone made a video of how to apply these kinds of very heavily made-up looks, I'd be all over it. I've got "normal" makeup down, and for stage I think I do OK, but I haven't quite figured these out. I guess I just need to buy a bunch of bright colors, then knuckle down and practice over a weekend.

Would L'Oreal HIP eyeshadows work for these? Are they pigmented enough? I wonder what brands of makeup are used overseas/outside of the US for this kind of look?

If you have basic technique down, then it's all about layering products, decent pigmentation, and, unfortunately, PhotoShop.

zing! I'm sure you're right... a couple of those complexions were not lit consistently!

I'm very intrigued by the looks with the pale separation between the extended dark top and bottom eyeliner.

Thanks, Azhia. I think my tools aren't the best for looks this precise. Most of my eyeshadow brushes are I think too fluffy to be precise, or two wide for some of the sharp looking lines. Probably just need more tools and PhotoShop and I'll be set. ..g.:

Excellent sharp-looking-line-brushes can be purchased at art supply stores for $3-$7. You may have to saw off the handles b/c they tend to be longer to accommodate painters. If you have to get up close to your mirror to work, the handles will get in your way. ;op

I misread the title as Aerobic Makeup Montage on YouTube. Which might have been quite entertaining :-) Although possibly a bit dangerous.

I couldn't handle that much fusion.

Found a site of pictures (not video). I like to have a picture in front of me if I'm trying to recreate a look (which actually I COULD take my laptop in the bathroom for watching the instructional videos; HMMMMMM.......). Notice this is "part 1"; there are links to several other parts you can click on:

Being able to do my eyes like this is part of my goals this year. Bought a couple more brushes the other day to help, and bought some silver eye makeup earlier today. Will get started after I'm over this blasted croup I've been suffering with.
