Colour Scheme Looks

For our practical with Kat Vogart, we were asked to complete two face charts and looks on the face in  certain colour schemes. I chose to complete two face charts, one in monochromatic purple, and the other in analogous greens and yellow. I used 'ProChart' face charts, and used makeup from M.A.C, Charles Fox and Illamasqua. I wanted my face charts to be experimental with looks, and imaginative, which I believe I have achieved.

In the practical with Kat, we were paired up and asked to complete our monochromatic look on our parner. I worked on Lucy, using my face chart to work from. I prepped the skin, cleansing and toning to remove any oils and dirt on the skin. I used Illamasqua Matte Primer to prime the skin, then using the Foundation Palette and Camouflage Palette from Charles Fox to create a clear and even skin tone. I used the Brilliant Colour Medley Matte palette in Shallot, Lavender and Sage Blossom for the eyes. To achieve this look, I used the darkest shade Shallot in the corners and for the line down the nose, then blended it out with a rounded brush and Lavender, then Sage Blossom, the lightest tone to blend out into the skin tone. I contoured the face in purple, starting with the lightest tone and building up using the darker tones. I lined the eyebrows with Shallot, for next time I need to focus on making them completely symmetrical, as here they are not completely even. Finally, for the eyes, I mixed M.A.C Lip Mix in the red and blue to create a deep purple to finish this look off. I am pleased with the outcome of this look, and I now know that I have to focus on making the look symmetrical, particularly the eyebrows. 

The makeup look that I completed on myself was in complementary colours, blue and orange. As I am more interested in high fashion and editorial makeup, I wanted it to be striking and capture the eye instantly. I used the Foundation Palette by Charles Fox as the base, alongside the Camouflage Palette and Powder by Illamasqua to set this. I then contoured the face using Turmeric from the Charles Fox eye colour palette, and also a dark blue from the Coastal Scents 252 Palette. Using a blue eyeliner pencil, I worked into the eyebrows to create a striking and clean look, and then the same with the lips. I then used the Turmeric orange to highlight the lips, and outline them. I achieved the look on the eyes also using Turmeric, and by wetting the brush achieved the sharp and clean point. I enjoyed being able to design my own look using this complementary scheme, as the brief for this task was so vague, we could be as imaginative as we liked.
