must be a nice little confidence booster that slawomir asked you specifically to try out main mom, and from the vlogs i've seen the dancers are all so wholesome and supportive (and chaotic), you were obviously in very good hands to prepare

[@meganboyd2993]

Thank you for validating us girlies who use little to no makeup in their daily life and their entire collection consists of 10 year old products in a ziplock bag. I feel so seen 😂

[@joelleray4528]

Watching you on this ballet journey has been so fulfilling! You’ve improved a lot, and it’s nice to see you pushing yourself to do things that scare you. You’re amazing!

[@Taiga300]

The makeup does indeed make you look a little older but girl you still look gorgeous, and it's definitely giving _mother_

[@moderater2.048]

Id disagree that it makes her look older, i see why you and others could think that, but when her face is relaxed shes like a doll. I agree with the rest of your sentiment, she looks very pretty!

[@Esheonearth]

@@moderater2.048exactlyyyyy I was like older??? She looks like a doll!! you hit the nail on the head. I loooooved it especially in the polaroids

[@CATandRAT-b9p]

muthUHh

[@samararg4507]

People replying saying it doesn’t make her look old because they like her is so dumb 😂

[@moderater2.048]

@samararg4507 ew bruh no… im saying that because i think that. I even acknowledged that people could totally disagree. And its not even a big deal, i was literally just giving my 2 cents 💀

[@velocitymg]

Cmon, your 27, that is not old, your passionate and devoted to being the best you can be and that’s impressive at any age

[@magicc0nchshell487]

I think she means for ballet because that is considered a little older for a ballerina especially since she hasn’t done ballet for years and years (I believe I’m not 100%)

[@whitelabrat]

In ballet this is old. Not just because age is a factor but because injury is a factor. Its like a lot of professional sports... your body is done by the time you hit 30 for most people. For the rest of your life you will deal with the consequences of pushing your body hard till you hit 30. I think the only sport I worked in where the career expectancy was more than around 28-32 was hockey where some good players play until 40.

[@jae15.]

[@kiwichan99]

Hi Ms. Eva! I'm about a year younger than you and watching you and your ballet journey is really inspiring. I hope you don't mind me telling you a small story. When I was younger, I was always made to believe that I was too fat or too uncoordinated to even try ballet. I didn't try to question my mother's reasoning but I was always so sad that I couldn't join the ballet kids after school because there was a ballet center right there on campus in our music center! As I grew older, I got into show choir and eventually musical theater where I was told that I actually can dance really well if I set my mind to it. I loved dancing whenever I had the chance to do it. But the one thing I was always yearning for was ballet. And I thought it was too late to even try. Fast forward to me discovering your videos of Master Ballet Academy and then your own journey of learning ballet. The thing that struck me most was that you were only a year older than me. It made me think... maybe it's not too late? And as I kept watching you improve and persevere and even laugh at yourself when you made mistakes, it has given me a lot of courage to admit to myself that I want to start ballet too. I still unfortunately don't have the money to go to adult ballet classes or proper training just yet but I wanted to first thank you for reigniting a long forgotten passion of mine that I discarded. I am so happy to see you take a big stage in a large ballet show with the most amazing people. I hope to one day be on stage dancing ballet too. And it will all be because I watched you and thought "anything is possible."

[@amyralls6218]

I hope you do follow your passion and get into an adult ballet class. Sometimes, the places that provide adult ballet classes will do a trade out for at least part of the cost for classes for helping clean the studio, assisting with costumes, etc. Talk to the head of the school! The worst thing is they say "no"!

[@kiwichan99]

​@@amyralls6218 you're the sweetest, thank you for the encouragement! unfortunately, where i live it's truly a little more difficult to find places like you describe. but i promise you that i wont give up!

[@xoxo.strawberry.cloudd]

You could try online classes on KZbin, but they may be not the best for beginners

[@Threadbow]

Go for it 🩰

@evanys I just wanted to tag you here, in case you missed this story. Your experience inspired this commenter and her story has inspired me 💓💓💓

I saw the livestreamed show--you killed it!!!!! Thank you for taking us on this journey!

Theater makeup is on another level. It’s so thick lol (I do theater so I know the feeling)

[@zalison338]

so proud of u eva! as a dancer of a few years ur journey is really amazing and u are doing great! can't wait to see you on stage for the first timee

[@anastasiafalcon4637]

[@mauiskater]

Love that you went from behind the camera to on front of the camera. It’s wonderful. Enjoy the journey ❤❤❤

[@MilnaAlen]

I saw a modern dance version of Nutcracker this month, and it had two dancers in their 50s or 60s in the roles of mum and grandmother! But also 3 really good male dancers, one is a soloist in Finnish National Ballet :)

[@Noumm]

I discovered your videos these past months and I like what you're doing, starting this hobby and seeing you improve, really is so positive 🙂. And watching your videos reminded me why I've to keep being motivated for what I want, so thanks !

[@VlogswMari-r7s]

I’m so excited for the vlogs!!

[@Warrior_Weirdo]

The costume is just wow 😍 Congrats to your first show ✨️

[@LydiaBisland]

Ohhhhh. Mauyyyyyy. Gawwwwwddddd!!!! 10 pumps of that Dior foundation is wayyyyyy toooooo much!!!!

[@StarSwiftie_13]

Love ya Eva!! I’m sure you did amazing!! Sending lots of love ❤❤❤❤

[@oggtastic]

That foundation is thicc especially for someone who never wears makeup. Loreal True Match serum feels like nothing but definitely isn't stage appropriate, I'm not sure if their True Match matte foundation is as lightweight as their others but it's worth checking out if you really loathe the feeling of foundation.

[@Esheonearth]

You did such a good job on your makeup and role, it suits you so much!

[@princessmarlena1359]

I got cast for the Nutcracker when I was about 14 or so. I understudied, then performed in a role of it at 15. Worked my way up for years.

[@LydiaBisland]

As a non-professional yet amateur makeup artists for balls, dances and Mardi Gras….. seeing the makeup bag @ 0:50….. girl call me!!! 🫣🫶🏻🫶🏻 Edit. Dior is my holy grail foundation but DAYUM. You put a lot on!!!! Edit 2: holy smokes!!! I counted 10 pumps of foundation you put on when the MOST should be 2-3 of that particular foundation!!!! 🙀🫣🫣

[@bernadettechute7998]

Yes - eye liner and lashes for stage!

[@emmaconnolly1134]

My mind is blown I had no clue you were 27 😱 I'm 26 and I fully thought you were so much younger omg. This gives me hope about doing ballet but starting as an adult 🥹💕

I NEED ANSWERS

[@fsofficialedits]

[@MajaJarska]

Yess

[@dustbitten]

Eva is cool toned and was using a warm toned foundation. Not sure who helped her select the foundation. I’m sure the stage lights will make it not noticeable though

[@VisionaryGardener]

Yes, she has a lovely, rosy pink undertone, not peachy. Her skin is so nice that there's no need for her to really use much makeup. ❤

[@meganboyd2993]

⁠​⁠@@VisionaryGardenerin everyday life I agree that she doesn’t need any makeup. However for the stage those lights will wash you out if you don’t look caked. It’s not that important for those who are dancing a lot, but since Main mom is mainly conveying through expressions instead of dance she has to look a bit insane. She still is absolutely gorgeous though!

[@roxannerodriguez7075]

How do you know if a foundation is cool or warm toned? I am 42 and never learned makeup. :/ My complexion is very similar to Evas. I have a red undertone, so I feel like every foundation I've ever tried either makes me orange or pale like a ghost...

[@roxannerodriguez7075]

@@roxannerodriguez7075 When I go to pick out a new foundation it’s usually labelled. If you go to Sephora or Ulta one of the ladies can help shade match you

[@barbaradisco]

So happy for you! (It helps to get the beauty blender a little wet first.)

[@TheSiobhan12]

Points for trying, and but the person who recommended that foundation shade at Sephora should be given the sack! The shade was a wee bit too yellowy orange for you. And NO you do not look older, was very appropriate for the stage. Fair play to ya. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@kendelmurrant4279]

Sephora called your bluff and sold you one of the most expensive foundations! Get Makeup Forever next time: full coverage with 1/3 of the amount of product so it won’t feel so heavy!

[@Ziv2323]

i think what makes you look older is the placement of the bronzer and blush... maybe you should try putting it higher? another thing is to only swipe the brushes up towards the hairline

[@gracepoint3]

Nice job Eva. Break a leg. Keep up the good work. ❤😊 P.S. I’ve had makeup longer than tha lol. I kept the expensive ones for sure.

[@tamaratrifunovic3588]

Girl i love you, i love your videos and shorts but please get yourself a new year gift and please let it be new mini microphone 🎤 ✨️❤ Have a great new year and I'm really looking forward to your next video☃️🥂✨️

[@amychen2188]

the foundation feels too yellow? on you i think, probably need something more cool toned

[@YNYLN-f9o]

The makeup itself/ container, is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Vythica13]

The urban decay make up names did me in 😂😂😂😂

[@Hamelie-v9n]

Well done eva ❤❤

[@TheBaddieCo]

For a flawless foundation, dampen your beauty blender before applying. To prevent eyeshadow fallout, try using under-eye patches. An eyeshadow primer is essential for preventing fading. Setting your foundation with a translucent powder (baking) can significantly improve its longevity, especially during a performance. Finally, a setting spray will lock your entire look in place. Best of luck with your show!

[@jessicarae199440]

You look great!!! Mother is mothering....❤

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

Congratulations mother!! 😅

[@lissapepper]

Congratulations on your hard work paying off!

[@dustbitten]

I refuse to believe a dark smoky eye wouldn’t look good on Eva just because she has brown eyes. There are different ways to apply a smoky eye based on eye shape. Like maybe she needs to keep an open smoky eye only focusing on the outer corners. I know she said she knows a lot about makeup but would love to see a video where she learns what works specifically for her face

[@MurielROT]

It looks good, maybe a bit heavy but it is meant to be stage makeup so heavy=seeable from the nosebleed seats. As they say you paint for the back row. It’s gonna look a little crazy up close

[@isoobool7573]

Omg the OG morphe palette!!! 😂❤

[@jessleunig1375]

Go eva we love you 💕💕💕

[@briantschayot]

I love this! Because I too suck at stage makeup (or everyday makeup for that matter) and used to pay someone to do my makeup on show nights... lashes... just can't!!!! Eyeliner either... you'll have to do a tutorial once you have to process down.

[@BubblesAndMuffin]

Tbh u look so pretty in the thumbnail

[@tabzywabzy]

The blush aged you because you put it on the apples of your cheeks, but otherwise for someone who doesnt do a full face ever, you did good! I imagine it was crazy exciting when Slawomir asked you to consider the role ❤

[@astystwix]

1:09 eva is hilarious love your humor😂

[@Blu3st4r371]

So happy for u 👏🏾

[@kellypatterson4412]

It only took once that I got pinkeye from old eye makeup before I nixed that. I have always hated the way foundation feels. I'm fortunate that I've got great skin and don't really need it.

[@notlargerthanlife]

"It would last for exactly 5 minutes of the whole day, and then your makeup would look ridiculous!" GOD do I feel that as a millenial woman 😂😂 Also the total innocence of not knowing what "Yeyo" is or how to pronounce it is too fucking cute 😅❤

[@erynporter9951]

Lol😂😂😂 I understand Completely how you feel about full face makeup. I feel like I'm suffocating 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣🤣!!! I can wear it if I have to but I prefer to concentrate on good skincare and just wear eyeliner, blush, mascara, brow pencil (if needed), and to spot conceal if necessary. I don't enjoy foundation, powder, etc. Stage makeup needs to be seen from a distance though and yours looked great. (Note: maybe try a pencil on your lips with just a gloss, or a lip stain and that might be longer lasting and more comfortable 😁) Break a leg, ❤️!

[@Toomanydogs7]

Eva, so excited for your nutcracker debut. Will any of your family the premier?

[@VisionaryGardener]

I hate how makeup feels, too. The only foundation I can live with is powder, no creams at all. I'm also allergic to all the things. The only one I don't seem to react to is Physicians Formula powder (oh, it SO isn't pretty if i use something I'm allergic to - we're talking blistered hives). If you hate creams and liquids, maybe try a powder foundation instead. They are way lighter and don't feel like paint.

[@sheelfjohnson]

I use a mineral foundation now. When I did recitals I had to wear a real liquid foundation though because my skin gets red with exertion AND I'm pale. So I needed that coverage.😅

[@sreynich1]

[@hazelhadley-britt6396]

I am 52. Still do not use makeup. Even when I attempted it all I used was eyeliner, mascara, and sometimes a natural lip stick. I am still pretty much a tom boy, but it was not even that. I do not like make up and it irritates my skin and eyes. It is why I stopped using it completely. Now there is nonsense like fake eyelashes etc. For the show it is understandable. But keep it as natural as you have been. More females should. They will have healthier skin and mindsets.

[@sheelfjohnson]

It's not really necessary to tell all women what they _should_ do.

[@hazelhadley-britt6396]

@sheelfjohnson did not tell them what fhey should do. Just said more should go natural as if is healthier and looks better. That is not telling them what to do. But hey. Read whatever you wish and interpret it as you wish since these days people will decide what aperson says, not the person saying it.

[@kytyllen9109]

Stage makeup is different. Much heavier. You should ask someone in the know.

[@laurelbrennan6295]

Yes, remember, everything needs to be darker and more pronounced as you are 50 - 100+ feet away from the audience. Since she will be using expressions to communicate to the audience, her mouth, eyebrows, cheeks, eyeshadow must be accentuated.
