My Journey with the Elizabethans - My Partner's Design

For the assessment, we will be working with our partner's make-up looks that they have designed and we will be creating them on them.  Ashleigh's design uses a pale skin base, rosey cheeks, a white eyeshadow with red eyeliner, mascara, an ombre lip and a stencil design at the side on her temple.

Ashleigh's make-up design has elements that I feel I will be able to create well and hopefully in the way that she wants me to.  In order for me to understand Ashleigh's make-up design properly, we went through it together in our studio session this week.  Ashleigh provided me with a set of instructions telling me exactly how to recreate her look and when I was practicing her design we went through and made a few changes to her look to make it look better.  For example, originally she was going to have black eyeliner, however we thought that a red liner might link better with the lips to tie the look together a bit better.  We also decided that the stencil was going to take too much time to do on the day of assessment, so Ashleigh has decided to replace it with some Polka Dot PAPERSELF Lashes.

Below is the step by step that Ashleigh provided me with:

Equipment needed:

Kryolan foundation palette

Illamasqua white foundation

Matte primer

Illamasqua loose powder

Illamasqua powder blusher, Tremble

Sleek white eye shadow

Rimmel London Scandaleyes mascara

Kryolan lip palette, LC010

MAC lip pencil, Black Black

PAPERSELF Polka Dot lashes

Lash glue

Foundation brush

Buffing brush

Concealer brush

Powder brush

Highlighting brush

Eye shadow brush

Angled brush

Lip brush

Disposable mascara wands

 

Step by step guide:

- Mix my partner’s foundation shade with the Illamasqua white foundation and matte primer

- Apply the base to the face, ears and neck using the foundation brush and buff in well

- Using a disposable mascara wand and the white foundation, whiten out the eyebrows and comb in an upward direction to make the hairs stand up

- Tidy up any small areas that may have been missed out using the concealer brush and powder the skin well using the powder brush

- Using the highlighter brush, apply the blusher to the apples of the cheeks in a circular motion and drag the colour back slightly towards the outer of the face

- Apply the white eye shadow across the eyelids and up to the brow bone

- Use Kryolan lip colour LC010 as an eyeliner and the angled brush to apply it to the top of the eyelid

- Use a disposable mascara wand to apply mascara to the eyelashes, top and bottom

- Then apply the Polka Dot lashes to the top and bottom lashes of the left eye

- Complete the look by applying the ombre lip colour.  To create this look, apply lip colour, LC010, to the whole lip, ensuring that the lip line is crisp and clean.  Then take the MAC lip pencil and apply a smaller area on the inner of the top and bottom lip
