Contouring Development

These images are of 4 layers of contouring I have applied onto a model.

I applied my first layer of contouring style makeup onto my model. I think I could have put slightly less blusher on for this first layer though.

 This image is of the second layer I've added. This layer shows that the makeup is starting to get too dark for my model's skin tone.

 This image is of the 3rd layer of contouring I've added to the makeup and it's definitely exaggerate and not the most professional look.

Finally this image is of the fourth layer I've added to the makeup and altogether this shows just how over exaggerate and off point makeup can look when it becomes 8 shades darker than your model's normal skin tone!

Paperself Eyelashes Inspiration

This week I had to make a face chart inspired by the 'Paperself Eyelashes' we used in our session. I decided to develop ideas from the 'Polka Dot Pop' eyelashes I used and make a symmetrical pattern above the eyebrows. I also wanted to apply the Paperself lashes onto the top and bottom corners of the eyelashes as well as on both corners of the bottom lip. The makeup underneath the pattern is a development of the Analogous Face Chart I designed. I'm looking forward to trying this design out in my next session!

Paperself Eyelashes

In my session with Lara I was introduced to the beautiful 'Paperself Eyelashes' product which are fake eyelashes made out of paper. They come in a variety of different patterns and can be applied on the eyebrows and lips as well as the eyelashes. For this session I had to apply makeup on my model from one of my colour wheel chart designs and apply the Paperself lashes too. I made up my model with the 'Monochromatic Design' I created and chose to apply the Paperself 'Polka Dot Pop' Eyelashes onto my model. I chose to apply the eyelashes to my model's eyelid and also snipped a part of the eyelash off and onto her lip. Applying these eyelashes made them look like the statement and completion of the look. I would've also liked to experiment and place the lashes on the bottom lashes instead of the top and also on the eyebrows with this makeup design.

Analagous Colour Face Chart

This is the Analagous colour design I created and applied. I used a velvet blusher from Illamasqua on the cheeks and a red colour from Kryolan on the lips to create the typical Elizabethan look. I then applied yellow to the eyelids and outer eyebrow corners and blended orange through the eyebrow to the inner corner. This part of the design stands for the bright eyes that Elizabethans loved.

I think my favourite part of this design is the eye makeup. The bright colours make this design more interesting than just the normal red cheeks and lips. If I could develop this design I would add more yellow under the eyes and possibly blend oranges on the outer corners.

Monochromatic Colour Face Look

This week I had to experiment and apply 2 of my face charts on a model/myself. I used Kryolan face paints to create this design. I firstly mixed green and white to make a light green and applied the colour completely all over the face. I then applied a dark green in my palette to the lips, eyes lids and cheeks. I made sure the green was completely blended into the light green on the cheeks so it wasn't to bold and sticking out in a clear triangular shape on the face.

Overall I'm really happy with the result of this look as the pale green does remind me of the Elizabethan skin colour they would have. I think I could have made the eyes and lips a bit darker but they are bold enough to show the 'dark eyes and lips' trend of Elizabethan Makeup.

Colour Contour Face Charts

This face chart was inspired by Analogous Colours. I combined the colour's red orange and yellow to create this design. The Elizabethan makeup was known to have red lips and cheeks so I thought using this colour on this would be perfect to go on these exact features. I applied yellow to brighten up the eyelids as the Elizabethan's also liked to have bright eyes and also applied orange and yellow on the eyebrows to add more to the 'bright' trend. I used my Kryolan face paints on the lips eyes and eyebrows, and used illamasqua powder blusher on the cheeks.

This face chart is inspired by the Neutral Colours. These colours are black grey and white. To highlight the Elizabethan trends I left the base of the face white as Elizabethan's would have pale skin and made the lips black to match the 'dark lips' idea and blushed the cheeks and eyes with grey. I also put a thick line over the top of the eyelids to match the 'dark eyes' Elizabethan's would have. I used Gosh and Bodyshop eyeshadows as well as Kryolan face paints to create this design.
