"What is the difference between comic and a stand up comedian? What's the difference? It's the same thing. Ya. Comic stand up media. Basically what we do is, the art form is very simple, and it's you and the mic and the audience. There is no fourth wall. Like in the theatre. And the most important thing about stand up comedy is the connection between you and the audience. Like when I'm talking to you I'm connecting with you. And engage you in whatever I'm doing, whatever I'm telling you. And you have to do the same thing with the audience. So basically that's the art form. A-some tips and techniques, which you use to create a black dress chic look. So the next thing we're going to do is we're going to fill in her brows. Your brows essentially frame the face and lift the eye. Especially for an evening look you want to make sure you have a really nice defined brow that will really set off the look very nicely and give you more of a sophisticated polished look. When you're shaping your brown, keep in mind that they should begin straight up from the corner of the nose. If you hold your brush up from the corner of nose, over the center of the eye that's where they should arch. If you hold your brush from the corner of the nose to the outer corner of the eye, that's where they should end. So just keep that in mind when you're trying to shape your brow. We're going to use a little bit of brow powder on our angled brow brush. We're just going to take this. We're going to start in the arch. Do light feathery strokes out to the end and go back to the inside. It's just gives her a little more strength to her brow, lifts the eye area, gives her a little more definition. It just gives her a really nice polished look. Then we're going to set it with a little brow wax. We're just going to put a little wax on our angled brow brush and just brush this through the brow. That will set everything, keep it on for your and get rid of any powdery look so it'll look a lot more natural. Tame any unruly brows. If you have any places where maybe you're a little sparse after you use your wax you can go back over with a little more powder. That will enable you to draw brow in places where you didn't have it. That's how you would want to fill in your brows."
