So, you want to be on American Idol?
Today, ( I bet you have been standing in line for hours and are reading this on your iphone...)
there are the auditions and it is hot outside! The exact details you need in case you aren't there already are below....but what about the makeup? How are you going to look camera ready while sitting around all day waiting for your 3 minutes of audition fame?
Just so you know, all production is like that. Hurry up and wait.
Here's my suggestion for your American Idol season 8 audition face:
Guys: put some Peter Thomas Roth max anti-shine gel on all over, add some matte Blistex lip balm to keep your mouth moist and ready to sing.
Girls:
- Apply Peter Thomas Roth max anti-shine gel, this keeps down shine so you don't have to keep re-applying powder.
- Stain your lips and cheeks so the color wears through the waiting, warming up and rehearsing.
- Use a mattifying makeup and remember to blend over your ears and down the neck because it could be broadcast in HD and you don't want to have a brown face and pink ears/neck!
- Now the new secret: apply two coats of L'Oreal Carbon Black Voluminous mascara! This is the most amazing mascara I have tried in a while. I love Voluminous as a good cheap mascara, but the Carbon Black makes a false eyelash effect as good as Benefit's Bad Gal or Dior's Dior Show mascara for one third the price! It looks like this:
- Finally, finish your mouth with a moisturizing lip plumper gloss over the stain. This will keep the worry of lipstick off of your teeth or the lining remaining after the lipstick is gone.
Good luck and break a leg!
