Another Taking It to the Streets, our running profile series. This installment: pop singer Adrienne Lau — and the kind of stage-tested beauty routine that has to read on camera, hold through a set, and look effortless in the after-party.
The pattern across performing musicians is the same: long-wear, restated. The makeup that survives a 90-minute set is the same makeup that survives a Saturday.
Skin under stage lights
A long-wear foundation with a satin finish. Smashbox Studio Skin is the everyday version.
The eye
Defined liner, neutral shadow, a coat of false lashes for the show — see our Shu Uemura post.
The takeaway
Stage beauty translates better than people think. Borrow the long-wear discipline.
