Re cap

From the practices I have done already some which I haven't photographed, I have come to the conclusion that these looks are not strong enough for the look I want to go for I haven't felt that it is my strongest work and I feel I want to change the colours for my look. I think if I use darker colour it would reflect Illamasqua better and I could create different tones. I am glad I have done the other looks though as it has helped me in development to progress in my look and I have been practising my techniques I have used in class.

Animalistic

Animalistic 

I want to try a different theme for my project and want to try playing with the ideas of creating your face into an animal and bring out your inner animal.

In this practice I used a zebra as my inspiration, I didn't want to put my whole face as a zebra just a little section using my supra colours. 

I started off by out lining my face in white 

supra colour.

I then coloured the outline in white supracolour using a brush, if I did this in the studio I would add more white colour and make it much neater.

I then applied the black over the white, I did use a clean brush but had a problem because of the white base it did change the colour to grey, if I did this in the studio i would make the black lines smaller and and build up the black colour. 

After completing this practice I have realised this really doesn't reflect illamasqua as a brand and also it doesn't show my makeup skills. In the final look for my Illamasqua campaign I want to show off my new techniques I have learnt this term and also I want it to reflect Illamsqua and I also want to think of the products that would go with the campaign. 

Eyebrow Practice

Sequins vs paper

Sequins vs Paper

I am experimenting for my look on what materials to use on the eyebrows if I do use any. I am going to practice with two different materials; craft paper or sequins.

Here are the sequins I applied, I decided to use two different colours and two different sizes. I applied the sequins by making sure the eyebrows are clean and then applied a layer of duo glue on to the brow and then stuck them on individually. I do like the look of the sequins and the shape it gives the eyebrows, I am not sure though if it is very illamasqua as putting sequins on eyebrows are getting very generic and illamasqua like to lead the trends. 

I then applied sequins to the lips, i think the sequins are too big and that small crystals would be better.

Here I ripped up craft paper and stuck them to my eyebrows using duo glue. When I ripped them up I wanted their to be little pieces of paper coming off as this would create added texture. I really like this look as I think it creates height and texture, this look isn't as harsh as the sequins and I prefer it as it's innovative and I haven't seen it on any other makeup look and as Illamasqua like to be trend setters this could work well for their brand. 

I then tried it on my lips and I don't think it worked as well as, I think the paper on the lips look too much and you loose the shape of the lips. This looks much better on the eyebrows. 

Pastel Practice

Pastel Practice

I wanted to develop my idea of using pastel colours for my campaign so I did more practices but decided to get rid of the petal as eyelashes. 

I started off by creating a white and my palest foundation mix to pale down my face.

The colour that I am pointing to has two layers of the foundation mix.

I then applied a turquoise colour all over the eyelide but left a small gap near the brow.

I used a soft blending brush to apply all over the eyelids. 

Lips Practice

Lip Practice

Even though I am really unsure about doing the petal as eyelash idea I wanted to try and create a look for the lips to go with the eyelashes. The two colours for this look are going to be yellow and a light blue/green, I also want to practice with my products with creating the lipstick colours are working out whats better to use foundation or sealer gel. 

Here is the light blue colour I created first as the base, I created this using one of my eyeshadow colours and rich liquid white foundation. This mix was very think and didn't give a smooth finish, I think if I mixed it again I would add some primer to the mix.

I then applied yellow on top of the blue to make an ombre effect I used a mix of yellow eyeshadow and  sealer gel, this created a thinner mixture so was easier to apply over a colour. The blue colour doesn't look too bad however in the photo studio I think it would look patchy and too thick. 

As you can see as soon as I rubbed my lips together it started to come off because it was so thick.
