Complimentary Colours Make-up
For this design I used;
- Cleanser, toner and moisturiser,
- Illamasqua satin primer
- Illamasqua white base,
- Illamasqua translucent powder,
- Kryolan mix of blue eye shadows
- Kryolan mix of orange eye shadows
- Kryolan super colour orange
- Kryolan Blue super colour for eye lashes and eyebrows
For this design I was challenged to only use three brushes, I chose to use the Kabuki brush, a medium eye shadow brush and an angled lip brush. I used the Kabuki brush to apply and blend the white base product, I also used the kabuki brush to apply the blue and orange powder as extreme contour on the cheeks and nose. I then used the smaller brush to apply the eye shadow and blend it into the eye brows. I used the small angled brush on the lips and for the finishing touches, e.g. the corners of the eyes with super colour orange and underneath the eyes with blue.
I found this task difficult at first because I would normally use a range of brushes, all different shapes and sizes to get the best look out of what I have planned. But once I got into it and applied the product to the face I found that I chose the perfect brushes for the design. I needed a large brush to blend the colours and apply the white base, using this brush made the application easy because there was a larger surface area to work with and it blended the colour as soon as it was put on the skin. The smaller brush used for the eye liner was helpful because I needed to get into the corners of the eyes and also underneath, this brush also helped with the detail at the sides of the nose, I was able to create a smooth and neat line for each side. The angled brush was good for the lips because I was able to turn it to fit the shape of the lips, this brush was also good for he eye brows as it was small enough to catch and colour each hair.
Health and safety:
- Ensure the eyes are closed when applying the product,
- Review the skin before application, decide whether any contra actions are needed to take place,
- Cleans, tone and moisturise the skin before application
- Be aware whether the client id wearing contact lenses when applying powder to the face and eyes especially
