After evening the skin tone with Too Faced Magic Wand Illuminating Foundation in Miami, $32.50, and a dusting of Absolutely Invisible Translucent Pressed Powder, $22.50, Blandino dove head-first into playing up the eyes with a sheer gold base called Eyeshadow Base in First Base, $15, (which drew plenty of "oohs" and "aahs" from the audience for its breathtaking luminescence) and then dusted shades of gold and brown on the lids with the Eyeshadow Duo in George & Weezie, $17.

To make the eyes pop with an "icing of gold," Blandino lined the eyes with glitter liners in brown and teal, called Starry-Eyed Liquid Eyeliner in Stalkerazzi, $17.50, and Drunk Dial, $17.50, then finished with Lip Injection in Techno Kiss, $18.50, to give the lips a smashing pink finish that's perfect for daytime.

For evening, Blandino "turned up" the luminosity of the eyes with a striking gold Eye Shadow Single in Oscar, $16, on the lids, smoked out the outer corners with a midnight navy metallic Eye Shadow Single in Vixen, $16, then added a twinkle to the eye by brushing on a steel gray metallic mascara called Electric Lash in Static, $18.50.

Blandino used plenty of "lit-from-within" colors on the face for a radiant look that works for the stage, but is sheer enough to wear to dinner. "It's all about accentuating where you want the light to catch," he said. After amping-up the lips with Glamour Gloss in Material Girl, $18, a golden pink shimmer, he finished the look with a dusting of Peek-A-Boo, $25, a body bronzing powder, and After Glow Ice Cubes in Betrayal, $26, for extra shimmer on the shoulders and décolletage.
