"Hi and welcome. Today we're giving you great tips on how to improve your makeup kit, so you've come to the right place. My name is Sylvia Russell, and I'm going to tell you what kind of makeup Soap Operas use. Now if you're like me you love your Soap Operas and you're always paying close attention to the type of makeup that they wear. But listen, it's not so much the makeup but the technique. But if you're in search of what they use, here are some tips. The makeup that is used for television is very opaque, meaning it's not very translucent, it gives great coverage. So when you're thinking about coverage you're thinking creams and pancakes, these type of makeup give you great coverage and give you a nice clean look. Makeup is done very heavy for television, but it's not overly made up, it's a very well polished look, meaning you're doing clean makeup, you're not doing any smudging, you're not doing any smoky eyes, you're doing fresh, fresh, fresh makeup. Fresh, clean, but heavy is very difficult to do, so you might want to visit your local beauty supply store, ask a professional, or go to the makeup counter and see if a girl can help you achieve this look. My name is Sylvia Russell, and this is how you can achieve makeup for Soap Operas."
