Uglyband: Red's shadow of doubt

Red is a Grammy-nominated Christian rock band along the lines of Linkin Park. Music reviewers say they have an emotional, intense and "crunchy" sound, whatever that is. (Sounded swell on their Myspace page, anyway).

They bounce around on stage in nice black t-shirts, for the most part, perfectly appropriate for a band mimicking the top rock bands of the hour.

I'm concerned, though, about lead singer Mike Barnes. His head is shaved. Fine. But I've never seen heavier eye shadow in my life. Well, maybe on Jan Crouch.

Please, Mike, review this video on How to Apply Eye Shadow from the eHow folks:

Step One-- Prime the eyelids by dusting them with a small amount of loose powder.

Step Two-- Select a light base shadow. Using a shadow brush, sweep it across your entire lid, from brow to lash line.

Step Three-- Use a medium-toned shade to cover your lower lids.

Etc, etc.

I promise it will make a big difference. A more natural look will improve your stage presence, and the little flakes of cosmetics won't scatter on your bandmates when you deliver that trademark scream.

You can thank me later.
