As a happily child-free woman, I know there are many things that I won’t personally experience but that I enjoy watching moms and dads experience. At the top of the living-vicariously list is when little kids do a parent’s makeup. It’s the cutest kind of chaos, inviting the child to get creative while the parent lets down their guard for the sake of a little fun and bonding. Case in point: Eva Longoria allowing her adorable six-year-old son, Santiago, to play makeup artist.
Longoria posted a clip to TikTok over the weekend in which little Santiago is going in enthusiastically on his mom’s makeup look. It looks like he already applied her eye shadow and hot pink blush before the camera was rolling, but we get to see his excellent contouring technique, which includes blotting on a brown cream formula under Longoria’s cheekbones and blending it downward.
We also see Santiago applying a shimmery pink liquid lip color over the darker berry shade Longoria is already wearing. Points for creating dimension via layering, kiddo!
“Santi knows just how to make me look very demure, very mindful 😌🤣,” Longoria wrote in the caption, referring to the audio from creator Jools Lebron that she added to the clip.
“You see how I do my makeup for work? Very demure, very mindful,” the voiceover says. “I don’t come to work with a green cut crease. I don’t look like a clown when I go to work. I don’t do too much. I’m very mindful while I’m at work. See how I look very presentable? The way I came to the interview is the way I go to the job.”

It may not be an everyday look, but who’s to say Longoria won’t opt for an avant-garde red carpet look care of internationally renowned makeup artist Santiago in the near future?
