Creating my first face chart

 Creating my first face chart

What I used:

• assess skin type and contraindications
• cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin before application
• For the base I used Illamasqua satin primer
• Kryolan light foundation 
• Kryolan light concealer 
• mix of kryolan blue eye shadows
• translucent powder Illamasqua 
• sculpting palette, Illamasqua 
• mac cool eye shadow palette for eyebrows
• black mascara and eye liner 
• mix of red and ruby red lip colour palette, Kryolan 
• Foundation brush
• blending brush 
• powder puff
• small angled brush
• eye shadow blender brush 
• lip angled brush/thin brush 
• mascara wand 
• thin brush for eye liner   

This is my first face chart design. In this picture the face chart is complimented by the light. On the paper I was disappointed with the way the cream foundation blended; I managed to smudge the foundation together and contour the face but it looked patchy in places. I then used powder to build on the design and try to blend the colours together. 

I used a mixture of blue eyeshadows and fanned the colour out using a smudging brush, I like this effect because it elongated the eyes, I then went around the eyes with a thick black pen to create definition. I used the same pen to make eye lashes, this then made the look come to life, I think this face chart looks like a 'baddy' out of a fairy tale. I lightly did the eye brows careful not to draw the attention for the eyes.      

I wanted to use complimentary colours to create a strong look that stands out, I used a mixture of dark reds, made lighter by the white paper, I also wanted to add darker shades at the sides of the lips but I couldn't get the right colour mixture. On my next face chart I want to be more creative and use more colours in the eyes and skin tone.
