In our lecture, we had a practice session so I created my models makeup design on her face for the first time. She bought in the face charts which told me the products she used and obviously how she wanted the makeup so I set up and started right away.
The products and equipment I used to create her makeup.
My models design.
Firstly, I blocked out her eyebrows using glue (which I found for her eyebrows was a lot easier than soap!) They covered pretty well and I am pleased with how it turned out, they don't even really show up that much on camera which is good. I then mixed my models skin colour (FS38 and G177) with Illamasqua skin base to create her exact colour.
Once I had covered the face, I then used skin base and Kryolan supracolor white to create the masked effect, which as you can see is slightly higher on the right hand side. Which is why it always helps to see what your pictures will turn out like under the lights as it picks up things you didn't know where there. After I studied the eyes again under normal light, the makeup looked higher the other side which was really strange. So I went back and worked on it to make it more equal.
I then added in the purple and pink eyeshadow to create the heart shape at the top of he forehead and also for the contouring which as Lottie picked up on, the colour looks faded as soon as the light hits on it. She told me to go back in and apply a couple of more layers so that the colours stand out and won't fade under the lighting.
As you can see, I have gone back and tried to make the face as symmetrical as possible and I think it looks a lot better then before. It might be a good idea to get a white eyeliner or pencil and draw the outline on the face first rather than just using the supracolor straight on and then keep building it up to make it even. I will talk to my model and maybe use that for the assessment to ensure that I can get it as even as possible.
Overall I am really pleased with how this has turned out. This was the second time I have done this makeup and the first time that I have done it on my model and the feedback that I got from her was great. She was really happy with it which makes me feel like I have done a good job at creating what she designed. Lottie also advised me and Hannah to get some lip liners for our kits so that we could use this to outline the lips before going straight in with grease-based products as this is harder to remove then pencil. I will see what my partner says about outlining the mask first, but I think this will be the only way (other than creating a stencil) for me to get the most symmetrical look.
