Hi! This is David Jackel on behalf of Expert Village and I'm here to talk to you about
using eye makeup with your David Bowie costume. Eye makeup is a crucial part of many David
Bowie costumes because he always has some sort of eye makeup. In the case of the Ziggy
Stardust costume, you want to have a lot of color in your eye makeup and a lot of definition.
There are several things you need to do. The first thing you need is eye shadow. You want
colorful eye shadow. You don't want the standard stuff. You want something that's going to
stand out. After you apply the eye shadow, you want to use eyeliner. This is going to
give you nice definition on your eyes and make them look very pronounced. Now, with
eye liner and the rest of the eye makeup, you want to get help from someone who's used
to putting on eye makeup. You don't want to throw it on like kids do sometimes with punk
makeup. David Bowie had professionals putting on the makeup for him, so you want to get
some help too to make sure that your eyes look really exact. After you've put on the
eyeliner, it's time for mascara. What you do with mascara is you very carefully apply
it to your lashes very lightly, and then bat them together like this. Don't put on excess
mascara. It's going to make you feel very uncomfortable. Then afterwards, you use a
pencil like this for detailing. Also, if you're like me and you have dark eye brows, it's
good to lighten them up because David Bowie has very, very light eye brows. He almost
has not eyebrows, and I'm not about to tweeze off all my eye brows. I don't want them to
look so prominent, so I'm going to apply some of this to make them look lighter. In general,
when you're shopping for eye makeup you want to get the more glittery stuff. There's plenty
of it out there. Get The shiny eye shadow, shiny pencil stuff. Also, if you can glitter
get that too. Put it on over here. Anything to make your eyes stand out and look sparkly.
