Creative/Beauty Makeup Research

For this project my aim was to explore as many techniques learned so far as a makeup artist. I feel the none-specified named award would be more suited for me, as I would like to work in both areas of fashion and prosthetics. I wanted to touch up on my skills of beauty and fashion makeup. Lisa Eldridge has a collection of tutorials on her website with very useful tips and techniques for applications and also on products and tools. I have watched and taken notes on some of her tutorials to help me prepare for my when I do fashion based makeups.

Look One:

  • Beauty shoot based on autumn winter trends

  • Play on no makeup look

  • Luminous skin

  • Worked thin alternating between foundation and luminizers

  • Contoured

  • Eyes-cool town pinky brown in the corner of the eye and warmer golden shade all over the lid

  • Slightly deeper colour on near the lash line

  • Eye lash curled

  • Polished brows applied with fine strokes

  • Continued highlighting and contouring

  • Lip balm and liner

  • Gloss on the top of cheeks and brow bone

  • On set worked tweaking the brows and working with the levels of shine on the skin

 

Look Two:

  • The key was to create a dense eyelid

  • Brushed Mac black ground. On eye lid and low lash line, building the colour from the lash line and working outward

  • Used a deep teal colour in the centre of the eyes

  • Intense emerald green in the corner

  • Bright flash of electric blue on the outer corner

  • Cherry/purples ad silvers underneath

  • Went back to repeatedly blend the colours

  • Even thought the colours on top were bright the black underneath helped to retain a dark smokey mood

  • Black gel eyeliner is used along the lash line and inner rim to create the illusion of thicker lashes

  • Lots of mascara added

  • Light dusting of powder and blush

  • Pale down the lips so the eyes were the focal point

  • Played with the look more on set by adding more blue 

 

Look Three

  • Flawless immaculate skin-pure clean look

  • Lots of pinpoint concealing for polish skin

  • For a light open looking eye, apply pale cream shadow up to the brows

  • Add depth with a grey shadow which brought out the shape of her eyes

  • Polished and perfected eyebrow

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look Four

  • Added a dramatic dark lip, working with contrasting textures

  • Dark red wine shade

  • Following the natural shape

  • Dark berry lip liner worked over the lips to increase the intensity and strength

  • Black liner worked into the edges to add drama. Blended into the existing reds and plums

  • Finished with a bright cherry red in the centre of the lip

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look Five

  • Bold brow

  • Strong graphic brows look great when the rest of the makeup is played down

  • Suqqu brow pens

  • Removed the previous eye makeup and added a gleaming bronzed cream shadow

  • Little sculpting added

  • Pale lip

  • Strong brows can look masculine so lots of mascara added to keep the look looking feminine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look Six

  • Strong liner Mac fluid line blacktrack

  • Start by working the liner into the roots of the lashes

  • Map out the shape on one eye, then take a step back and mark out the shape on the other eye for symmetry

  • A light sweep of liner on the lower line mirrored the under line and gave a wide eyed look

  • Half set of lashes to help give an elongated look the eye
