Monochromatic Make up

During our Practical lecture we had to create a monochromatic make up which we firstly designed on a face charts. We had to pair up during our practical and each be the model, we had a total of 40 mintues to create our whole look. This first photo is of my station this is the make up I worked with I used products from Charles Fox, MAC, Illamasqua and Rimmel and worked with a wide variety of brushes from various brands.




My looked was based on the colour pink. It was more of a beauty look instead of something crazy and different. My model had very fair skin so I had to mix a few of the foundations together to create her skin tone as I didn't want her to look too pale as I didn't want the skin to look washed out of dull. For my models skin colour I used a mix of Alabaster and FS38, this was from the ultra foundation 8 palette by Charles fox (Kryolan). And to set the foundation I used the Illamasqua translucent white powder.
When starting on the eyes I worked from the Viva Brilliant Colour Medley Matt 15 palette. I powder the eye with white (Fennel) and used two colours from this palette to create the eyeshadow which was Annatto and chive blossom. From the Blusher Palette- 5 Matt classic palette I also used a few of these on the eyelids, I used R21 an TO. These are all different shades of pink. When contouring the cheeks I wanted structure and line however I didn't want it super sharp and heaving I also brought the blush up to the sides of the temple and gradually blended it out. I used my blush from the Illamasqua powder blusher duo and started with the colour Lover which I was going to use as a base form the cheeks however I came out very peachy which I wasn't pleased about. I then went over with Hussy which is a brighter pink which is more in the variety of shades I was using. I For the brows I used a MAC twist pencil this was in the shade of light brown, I defined the brows and created a slight point to the tops of the brows. With the lips I wanted to use a bright pink again which I used from the mini lip rouge palette and I used colour LC001. For the lashes I wanted it quite subtle however still visible that there are lashes there. I used Extra super lash black by Rimmel and gave my models lashes a few coats to darken and lengthen them.

My feedback from my Lecturer was that my design was pretty symmetrical on each side however the eyeshadow could of been a little more symmetrical. The design overall she said was very good and the make up was neat and applied well. I feel overall I worked very well and efficiently and I fell my design came out accurate to my face chart I designed for this look and my application was neat and tidy. I feel in future designs I could experiment with using the colour on different parts of the face such as the lashes or the brows and try to elaborate my designs and think outside the box.
