Hi everyone! I have a dilemma, and I'm going to make this post as short as I can. I am going to start camming/OF work very soon. I've had one thing holding me back. I don't know how to apply makeup. At all. I don't even know where to start. It seeks like the "beginner-friendly" tutorials are anything but. I want to see a professional MUA for lessons, but I don't have $300 to set aside for that right now. I won't have it until I get this camming up and running. 😖 My main reason for being so concerned about makeup (and hair) is that I want to transform myself and be unrecognizable. I can't afford to have anybody know I'm doing this, and recognize me. Also, I have a certain look that I'm going for (alt/pop-punk), and I don't know how to achieve that look, makeup-wise. Or any look, for that matter. I'm dark-skinned (like Tika Sumpter/Danielle Brooks shade), if that helps any. I have no idea what my undertones are, and I know that's important, too. 😞 And wigs are a whole seperate issue for me. 😢 I really want to make high quality content because that's what my subs deserve. And a big part of good content is having a pulled-together look. It's all a big guessing game for me. I would at least like to have a personal formula down that works well. I don't know how much to put on, what order, where to put it, which brushes to use, how to blend it all together, NOTHING. I've allowed this to hold me back for a year now. I know I'm leaving soooooooo much money on the table because of this, and I can't afford to anymore. I need to start this immediately. Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated. If you read this far, thank you so, so much!
 
I know this isn’t the advice you wanted but- if you are 100% banking on glam makeup hiding your identity, and not prepared for the very real possibility that someone might recognize you anyway, you may want to rethink that. Bring recognized is always always always a possibility in this industry and camming/OF etc need to be worth that potential fallout for you.

I used to work as a costumed super hero for parties, comic book signings, etc. One day I was in a FULL cat woman suit- rubber mask over my whole head, bodysuit, boots, gloves, all of it, you couldn’t see an inch of skin on me- waving at a major intersection in a very big city outside a comic book opening. And a girl I was only vaguely acquainted with, who knew nothing of my side job, asked me the next time I saw her if I happened to be dressed as catwoman at X intersection recently. I was totally shocked, asked her how she recognized me and she said “oh, just the way you were standing.”

So my point is, it can happen even if not a single inch of you is visible.

As far as makeup goes tho, practice is really what does it, and YouTube vids help. I actually learned a lot watching kennie J’s Bad Movies and A Beat, and Jaime French’s similar series, prob bc they’re funny so I don’t get bored. There are lots of YouTube’s about how to do glam with drugstore makeup too, you just have to find the beauty vloggers that resonate with you personally.
 
"I can't afford to have anybody know I'm doing this, and recognize me."

If this is true, then don't start. Technology is only getting better about facial recognition - there are already free sites out there you can plug in a picture of me from my graduation and it finds my porn.
"unrecognizable" is going to be a thing of the past very quickly - even with make up.

Even outside of being recognized - leaks happen, hacks happen - people find out SO many ways. I really don't want to scare you but I want you to think really really hard about this.. if you really cannot afford to have anyone find out.. then I do not think this is the job for you.
 
wow what site is that. just wondering. i wanna know just to see how many videos of me there are and maybe have them taken down or at-least some taken down.....
 
If you want to be in the sex industry but don't want to show your face, I would recommend making videos of feet, hands, other fetishes. You may still get recognized if you have tattoos but it is possible to work in this industry and not show your face. However, this is no guarantee you won't be outed. If you are fearful of repercussions find a different job.

@Miss_Lollipop is 100% right and you will not be able to keep it a secret, even with makeup. I have had several people tell me they were recognized on cam with heavy makeup and wigs. It will happen eventually.

Alexa - if you can either get verified here or dm me on twitter from an account I can see you're a model on.. or something? i'm happy to share. I just don't think it needs to be put out publically
