I was very nervous about my picture I was given as it featured vivid blue winged lids,, flawless skin, bright red glossy lips, and a pink blush, I felt I didn't have the right products in my kit. With the time limit in place as well I really had to think on my feet!
Step-by-step:
- I cleansed and toned and moisturised my models face, making sure I had a clean base, and checking she was ok with the products I was using, and made sure she had no allergies and wasn't wearing contacts.
- Once I was happy I applied MAC Face and Body foundation in C1 as it was a perfect match for my model , I applied with a foundation brush, then buffed with a bronzing brush to give a lovely dewy, natural finish to the skin.
- I then applied concealer, I used a mix of pink, a light beige and touch of yellow combined, I applied this to a small area on the cheek that had a blemish and under the eyes, using a concealer brush. I then buffed in with a my bronzer brush.
- For the blue eye shadow I used the blue from my Ben Nye colour palette, I used a small angle brush to outline the shape, when I put it onto the lid it came out quite grey, so I decided to put a white eye shadow from my tutor's screenface shadow palette, inside the line I'd drawn so the blue would pop more, I was really pleased with the results. I wiped up droppage from beneath the eye using a cotton pad with a littler bit of toner, then buffed over using the bronzer brush I was using before.
- Next I applied MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara using a mascara applicator from my brush kit I applied quite a heavy amount to the top lashes, and only a small amount to the bottom lashes, mimicking the picture.
- I then applied a light concealer colour with a touch of yellow added to it, to the water line, using an angle brush, as in the photo it looks as if a metallic cream colour has been used.
- I then used my tutors screenface shadow palette again this time using a mix of a silver and bronze colour and placed using a small round brush, beneath the bottom lashes.
- I then set the base with translucent powder, using a fan brush in shade neutral.
- The eyebrows looked really natural so as my model as really good structure to her eyebrows and no gaps I just went over with eyebrow gel to define and shape.
- I then moved onto the lips I lined them with MAC lip liner in Cherry Red.
- Then I used MAC Ruby Woo lipstick, to fill, I used a lip brush to apply the lipstick, to avoid cross contamination. Due to Ruby Woo being a matt lipstick and the lipstick in the photo was a glossy lipstick, So I added a small amount of Vaseline over the top of the lips using the same lip brush as before.
- I then used my Kryolan lip palette, to mix a blush colour, I used a mix of a strong pink, a light pink and a tiny amount of the deep red, I applied to my models face using my hands (I checked that this was ok before I did it) to the apples of her cheeks then along the cheekbone slightly. I then blended and softened using my bronzer brush.
- I then set with translucent power again using the same fan brush.
Overview & Evaluation of the lesson:
Overall I'm really proud of myself in this lesson, I believe I was given a challenge considering the contents of my kit, I rose to that challenge and had to think fast. I surprised myself because instead of getting in a fluster I just stopped for a second and thought logically, came up with a solution and followed it through. I'm really happy with my final outcome, in terms of being under a time limit, but if I was to redo I would line the lips better, and if I had had a choice I would have used a crème colour on the eye, and line the shape using a blue eyeliner pencil, to achieve the sharpness and definition, that the photo has. Apart from that I'm really happy with the coverage, and blush, the eyelashes, and brows.
