- 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?
It's my final look,
the Tangerine Dream.
