Ran across a link to an interesting primer on make-up by adult film actress Asia Carrera (no I wasn’t surfing for porn, really….) There’s from some naked boobs if you scroll down on the first screen, but it’s otherwise G-rated.

Aside from outlining some basics, what’s useful is that Carrera drastically exaggerates the make-up in order to make it easy to see what’s happening.

It also provides a dramatic example of what make-up can do. Without make-up, Carrera is cute, but not the head-turning sex goddess she is with full war paint. And if it make you feel any better, it takes her two hours to achieve that look.
