Practising and Adapting my Design

This is my favourite design at the moment, and it will be the one I work on and develop to make it look better. I have practised on myself as this will be the design that my model will create on me. 

I started off with blocking out my eyebrows and then I mixed in skin base white with my foundation to create a slightly pale skin colour. I then copied my face chart but I felt something was missing.

I then started to bring the orange down to the corner of my eye and I flicked out the purple underneath my eye to make it look more dramatic. 

I like how soft the colours look but I want to experiment with the colours being more vivid. 

I like the orange lips as it brings out the eyes, but I think they need to be a little bit softer as they are quite bright in comparison to the eyeshadow. 

I didn't have any white mascara to hand, so I used white Supracolor to give the impression of white eyelashes which I think works really well. I like the pale complexion and how my cheeks look as it I feel it gives it a nice warm feel. I think I need to either add more layers of soap to cover it, or add a thicker layer of the white skin base and then put my eyeshadow on as you can see the hairs coming through the colour. Overall I do quite like this look but I will continue with my face charts and adapting it to see if I can make it to the best of my ability. 

I then wanted to try out my other design that I liked, just to compare the two and see if it turned out better.

I added on the red base of eyeshadow and used Supracolor to add the flicks on the eyes and the Black underneath. 

I then used my red shadow and contoured the cheekbones and around the eyes. 

I then painted the lips red to match the eyeshadow and then I mixed the red and black together and painted on a heart shape. Although it is contemporary, I think it looks too heavy for an Elizabethan look and I do prefer my first design. This has helped me make my mind up for exactly what I want to do. I will continue to adapt and change my design to see what works best.
