That sultry Arabian eye! Think the biggest mistake is to do an entire "full bleed" with the black if you are performing on a stage or a distance passed 10 ft from your audience. (full bleed -from lid to inner lash line) it will close your eye. check out this photo..

notice she leaves the bottom rim and outer corner of her eye open. also the inside corner (by your tear duct) ans under her eye brow ,has no black or dark shading at all. The black on the upper lid is full bleed to her lash line to cover her awesome fake lashes, and give her that sultry half open eye.
To get this almond shape leave "breathing" room on the inner corner and under your brow. yes,this will translate to any eye shape at any age.Look at recent photos of Sophia Loren, She is still so fab!
Make-up for photography= detail,detail! A still posed photo shows every flaw this make-up and hair should be clean, and extra time taken. Soft contouring and hilighting.Work with your photographer,look at the images as you shoot. (for digital ) Bring a friend to the shoot to help!
Make-up for large restaurant /stage=You are a moving target at a good distance, pay attention to your silhouette, your hair should add 2 inches to your height. heavy contouring and hilighting. You should check your makeup standing a min 5 feet from your mirror.(the mirror doubles the distance you stand from the glass, soooo 5 ft =how you look to someone 10 feet away.) a lot of this style is implied beauty, so if your not sure if your wearing enough make-up or your hair isn't big enough it probably isn't. Drag queens are stunning on stage, but scary up close!
Video and Hi def= this really depends on the type of filming you are doing. If your filmed at a hafla by a friend your make-up and hair can be the same as for a photo, as long as you are moving the camera is very forgiving. go for a med contour and hilight, if the room is dark contouring is key!
If you are shooting hi def ditch the glitter for softer shimmer.! It is way to distracting and takes away from your dancing. this type of filming shows a lot of detail and every drop of sweat. Have a friend keep an eye on your make-up and hair at your shoot. Have a cool (dry) wash cloth to pat your face and body between takes, then touch up your powder and lips. Do a lighting test b4 you shoot .
