Be Calm.  There is no test, no quiz, and you can skip these videos if you don’t have time for them.  These are all just fun art projects related to faces/makeup.  I find the more I learn factually about faces the better I can see them, work with them, and achieve our ideal of enlightenment.  So, I share these with you so you may do the same…. if you have the time, watch and enjoy.  If you do not, chill, and remember: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR FACE!

Repeat Your Mantra: "There is NOTHING Wrong With My Face!"

There are many other options for traditional makeup that there are no good videos for, but you can do original research in still images and videos of the completed designs, and use your common sense in learning how to replicate those as well.

Are you concerned that doing this project makes you feel like a Cultural Imperialist? 

Don’t freak out, European traditional theatre, festival masks, carnival & circus also have a bunch of non-naturalistic styles you can play with:
