- What's up, everyone?
It's me, Asia O'Hara from season 10 of RuPaul's Drag Race.
I am so excited here to do my makeup tutorial.
I'm looking forward to sharing some of my tips and tricks.
This look, I call Tangerine Dream.
You might remember it from the good twin evil twin runway.
Watch me go from this to this.
(upbeat electronic music)
I like to wear a little wig cap.
I don't know, it makes me feel
like I'm holding all my hair back.
I like to prep my skin with just a little bit
of something for oil control
and it just helps balance out my skin all over my face
and just kinda helps with a smooth slate for everything
so I don't have oily bits and dry bits
and things of that nature,
and then I go on top of that with a pore filler
and some moisture in it
to kind of add the moisture back into my skin
and just get a nice, smooth palette.
Of course I'm going to block my brows
with just a regular glue stick.
I start, of course, in the center
and I do several layers so I do that
and I'm going to blow-dry.
It's important to do it on a cool setting
and not talk while you're blow-drying.
(blow dryer whirring)
So I'm just gonna do maybe two more layers of that
just depending on what you feel like you need.
I have covered my brows.
What I do is I just lightly dust over them
with just a tiny little bit of powder
just to make sure that it's set.
As you can tell, I already have my contacts in.
I like to put my contacts in before I start my makeup
to give my eyes time to rest.
I'm just going to hydrate my lips because my lips get dry
for some reason when I'm doing my face.
Now we are going to go ahead
and we'll go on to our foundation.
I just use a regular full coverage stick foundation.
What I do is I take my dark foundation and I go
on my jawline, most of my neck,
across my top lip and around the perimeter of my face.
I like this type of brush for foundation.
I do wash mine but I'm not gonna lie,
I like when it is just full of foundation
because it makes the blending
and smoothing process so much easier.
So now I'm gonna take my lighter foundation,
same type of foundation, just a different color,
first over my brows in the same direction
that I did my glue stick and then I do my forehead,
my nose, my cheeks, and basically everywhere
where I didn't put the dark foundation.
I now will take just a regular beauty blender.
My nose is the only place,
because I want to get in the crevices of my nose,
it's the only place I actually kind of rub.
Everywhere else, I just blot.
I start to bring it down and blend it
into my darker foundation
and then I'll do the same thing
going around the perimeter of my forehead.
I like to do my contour with the cream color
as opposed to a foundation because I feel like they blend
a little bit easier than foundations,
so I'm going to go here in the back and pull that down.
I don't like to put too much dark color too far in
because I don't like for my face to look chopped
and I want to be able to kind of blend it back
into the darkness, and I'm starting kind of in the center
of my ear and coming down
into the natural kind of hollow of my face.
And then after that, I'm just going to kind of blend that up
with circular motions just a little bit
and then I'm gonna take the tiniest little bit,
kinda what's left on my brush,
and I'm gonna break my face right here
and just blend that here, just a tiny little bit,
and I like to have a break here
because it makes my jaw not look so huge and manly.
Depth-wise, it makes my face look shallower.
'Kay, now I'm going to take my darker powder
and I use two completely different powder puffs,
one for dark and one for light, just so it stays clean,
and I'm gonna go all through the dark areas
where my contour is
and where just my regular foundation color is.
I like to use pigmented powders
because I just like to be able to look at the powder
and say, okay, that's close to the color
that I want that part of my face to be
instead of doing a foundation
and then putting a translucent powder on it
and then not knowing what that mixture's going to give me,
and then I'm also going to go around the perimeter
where I put the dark powder.
So I'm gonna take my lighter powder
and I'm now going to go over the other places
and I will save my chin for last.
So you're basically just going over everything
that does not already have powder,
and it's okay to pull the powder out onto the darker part
'cause that just kinda helps with the blending anyway.
'Kay, now I'm gonna do that part of my chin
that I left earlier, and I'll just let that sit there
and we'll blend it later.
That part of my face looks cooler than the rest of it
and it's because I put a light powder
onto a dark foundation.
I'm going to take, for me, kind of a peachy orange color
and it's going to go around every part of my face
where the light meets the dark,
and it just helps with the transitions later.
So I'm just going around all of that
with a nice orangey peach color.
Now that I'm done with that part of my cheek,
what I'm gonna do is what we call cutting our cheek.
I like to use my darker powder
because I find it's a little more natural
and I'm going to go from the center of my ear
and I'm going to carve
this out, I'm making my jaw not look so long.
We don't wanna look like John Cena,
we wanna look like Halle Berry, honey.
And then just take a little bit off of here as well
so your jaw doesn't look thick this way.
You want to contour your nose up close
to the bridge of your nose and not down here,
because down here is making your nose look wider.
So I'm going to start in the corner of my eye
and this is a soft brown color
and I'm gonna just pull that down
to here.
I blend it right into where my actual natural brow bone is.
I'm going to take a nude-colored pencil
and I'm going to go down the bridge of my nose
with a thin line and I'm gonna stop and I'm gonna do a dot.
A light-colored shimmery shadow
and I will go over the pencil.
So now the face is done for the most part
and we're going to move on to the eyes.
Basically just white cream and I'm going to go over my lid
a little bit higher than where I want my actual lid to be.
A lot of people use shimmery eyeshadows.
I personally like to stay a little matte,
and what I do is I pat it on first
to make sure everything's covered
and then I go back and kind of blend it out.
Because this is Tangerine Dream,
I'm going to take a bright orange blush that is actually is.
I'm just gonna start to go around the edge of this.
Even when I'm not doing this particular look,
I put a peachy or a lighter kind of orangey pink color here
in my crease area just to have something
to lay my other dark colors down on.
I like to go on my crease with a pencil
on the bottom edge of that to get a nice, defined line.
So I take just a regular black liquid liner.
I start from the corner of my actual eye
and I go upward, okay, and from here,
I start from here, filling that space in.
So keep your eye kind of squinted and closed
and you're gonna just fill all that in,
and as we get to the center of the eye
or the corner of the eye,
it comes to a very nice finished line.
See, a triangle, ta-da.
Okay, and I've got that pretty much done for now
and because I'm impatient
and I wanna make sure it's not going to fold,
I blow-dry this portion.
(blow dryer whirring)
So now we're going to do brows.
I use a pencil, a lip pencil.
So I start by just sketching out my brow
and I start from where I want my brow to begin
which is basically the corner of my eye.
Go upward and I'm basically drawing
the bottom part of my brow.
I like a nice high-quality pencil
because I find they're smoother.
So I'm basically sketching the bottom portion of my brow
and as you can see, they're not completely perfect or even.
Now I'm going to draw the top portion
and I keep them wide here
and then here I just kind of angle down into my tail.
(laughs)
Into my tail, gross.
And then I begin to fill this in
and I do leave it a little sparse right there
and I'm just going over this entire brow
with orange eyeshadow.
And this sets the pencil
and it also just gives you an opportunity
to get the color closer to what you want.
So you can always correct and fix and adjust your brows
with the negative space around them,
so I am going to take the same white cream
that I put on my lid and I'm going to carve
underneath my brow to give that a clean line
and to make sure the shape is right.
I'm going to set that with a white shadow
and I kinda pop that in there first
and then blend it out, and I'm gonna use the peach color
that I used at the very beginning on my cheeks,
our base color, and I'm just going to ever so slightly
kind of blend these corners here out.
We're gonna use that same pencil
to highlight the top of our brow
and this is another time where you can adjust the shape
of your brow and I'm gonna just kinda flick
into the beginnings of my brow.
This is where I do my actual highlight.
I'm going to buff right in the center of that
just a little bit and up and out,
and this is a pressed highlight powder,
just a pressed golden highlight powder that I like to use.
Set that onto my cheek area.
After I've done my eyes, I kinda wanna start
to see exactly how highlighted or contoured I need to be.
So I'm gonna take that peachy color again,
lightly go underneath my brow highlight.
I'm gonna take a white pencil
and do the inside corners of my eye
because I want my eye to look a little open.
So I'm gonna go just about here
to where the iris of my eye begins with a black pencil.
So I'm gonna actually start just before the white line stops
and do the bottom of my eye
and I'm doing my waterline and underneath my eye.
I'm gonna take our trusty liquid liner
and I'm just going to make sure
that this line is nice and slick
and I'm actually kinda going under my line.
We're gonna take our trusty fail-safe peach color
and we're gonna put just a tiny little bit in the corners.
You don't wanna go down here, you wanna go out here
where your crease naturally,
or your lid naturally would meet your brow
and you just wanna soften that just a little bit.
So onto lashes.
For me, I like this part of my eye
to be slick and not open as much,
so I don't wear bottom lashes a whole lot,
and with lashes, I stack a bunch.
Two pair of 301s, one pair of 199s,
a 101 and then some other kinda weird lash
that I don't actually know what it is on the top.
Yes, I am one of the girls
that uses weave-bonding glue for lashes.
I just find it works better.
It probably is not safe for your eyes,
so don't say Asia said to put this on your eye
when your eye fall apart.
I like for my lashes to defy gravity
so I put glue on the rim of the lash where you normally do,
and on the outside I start to angle the glue up
onto the top of the lash.
That way it can fold up that way.
Somewhat generous but somewhat thin line of glue.
(blowing)
And I make sure that's kind of tacky
and I place it there
and then I angle it up
and then once I get it where I think I want it,
we grab our blow dryer.
(blow dryer whirring)
A lot of people think that you have to put your lash
on your actual eye, honey, no, it's drag,
so it's nowhere near my eye
except for right here in the center.
And because I want this one to be lifted like this one is,
I'm going to take glue and I'm just gonna kinda put it
on the top and you can kinda wedge it down under the lash,
a little bit below the lash as well,
and we're gonna blow-dry it up.
(blow dryer whirring)
Bam.
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take a little bit
of a dark burgundy and I'm gonna bridge that gap
and blend that between our black and our white,
just a little bit of a dark burgundy
and a little bit of orange.
I am just now doing my blush.
A lot of people do it earlier.
I like to do it kinda towards the end
because that's the last kinda piece
to bridge everything together
and I wanna make sure it's right.
Some of our trusty peach color
and I'm gonna go along my entire cheek area
as well as around my forehead.
Then I'm going to take a little bit of orange
and pop that right on
the apples of my cheek.
Now what we're gonna do is take
kind of a clean blending brush
and all of this powder that we let sit there,
we're gonna kinda buff that off just a little bit, 'kay?
And same thing with our chin.
Time for lips.
A orangey red liner.
I like to use my natural lip shape.
Now I'm gonna take an actual orange pencil
and fill some of my lip space in.
I like a matte lipstick regardless
of if I'm gonna put gloss on top of it or not.
I feel like the color pigmentation
and the pay-off is just a lot better.
If it's color that you want,
I definitely recommend sticking with matte.
If you want that glossy dreamy look, go ahead and pop gloss,
but you see, you will lose a little bit of the color pay-off
so that's that.
And there we are, gloss.
'Kay, last thing I do, I take a huge brush
and as you start to really develop your makeup,
you will find naturally you will end up with a brush
that is just like your blending brush,
that you don't really put color or powder on.
It just kinda has a little bit of your soul on it
and you take that and just kinda just smooth and blend
and buff wherever you feel like you might need it,
and to finish everything off I like to use a setting spray
or some kind of barrier spray or non-move spray
just to make sure things are gonna stay great,
so I stay far back and I just.
(aerosol hissing)
So now I've done my face.
I'm gonna put on a piece of hair and I'll be right back.
Boom, what do you think?
