Final Evaluation

At first I was slightly worried about working with Shahana because she had much more experience with makeup than I did and I assumed her designs would be of a very hard standard that I wouldn’t be able to do, but working with her was anything but.

Having her as a partner really helped me improve my makeup skills and also learn new skills

I appreciated her honesty if something didn’t look right or if I was doing something wrong she would tell me how to improve or suggest a new technique.

I really loved having her as a partner and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again

Her face chart was really straight forward in what she wanted the makeup to look like and what brushes I should use on different parts of the face which was very helpful

The final look turned out really well I love the fact that it still has the Elizabethan touch to it with the white eyes and apple cheeks

It was really modernised with the fanned out eyebrows I think I could have worked on the symmetry of the eyebrows more, Though it turned out much better than the first time I attempted this look so practice definitely did help improve it.

3 brush challenge

In class we had a challenge to do any makeup look i decided to go with shahanas final design to get more practice of her look but change it up slightly the three brushes i used were a foundation brush, blush brush and an angled brush.

I started of by applying the base foundation then with my blush brush i applied loose powder and a pink blush to the cheek with the angled brush i applied white under the eyes and on over the eye lashes then with the same brush applied the black to the eyebrows and blended gold at the bottom of the eyebrows.

Its amazing what you can do with just 3 brushes rather than picking up 10 brushes if you don't have to and also its great practice if ever you forget brushes on a set that your still able to complete a look with what you have.

Final Design

My final makeup design applied by Shahana Hanif. I really love the end result it was exactly how I wanted it to look although i don't really like the pictures because it does the makeup no justice.

Attempt Number 2!

For my second attempt we changed the design darkening the foundation, adding purple to the eyebrows and instead of gold eyelids we used white eye shadow and white eyelashes.

I toned down the colour on the cheeks a lott and used a red tint on the lips i preferred this look much more than the first one

My Final Design (Face Chart)

After looking back at my research I finally came up with my final design.

The main concept of my makeup was the transition from elizabethan to contemporary so I decided to do an ombré look over the face starting from pale white with no eye brows, getting darker the further down the face it goes finishing with a dark purple lipstick and red cheeks working it's way up to the eye lids.

Attempt number 1! (Shahana's Design)

Following her face chart i first smoothed down the eye brows with pritt stick i then covered the face with a pale foundation and blended loose powder into the foundation so it didn't look like it was just sitting on the face.

i then  used a strong pink on the apple of the cheeks and applied gold eye shadow to the eye lids and blended black at the corners.

on the eyebrows i used black eye shadow and mixing medium to cover the eyebrows and for the fanned effect.

finally adding pink to the lips.

For my first attempt it turned out ok but I need to work the makeup into the hair line and down the neck much more also getting the eyebrows to look much more identical.

Taming of the shrew

For visual research i had to watch "Taming Of The Shrew" at first I thought this will be 2 hours of my life that i will never get back but at the end I absolutely loved the movie, as-well as it helping with looking at contemporary elizabethan makeup.

Elizabeth Taylor's character her makeup was really subtle you can still notice the ultra fine circular red cheeks and tinted lips but was made very contemporary with the use of eyeliner and eye shadow.

my new elizabethan

For my new elizabethan I chose lady gaga because of this particular look which I absolutely love, it really gives an contemporary look to elizabethan makeup in keeping with the pale flawless face, red lips but instead of having red cheeks around her eyes are covered in red glitter. it simple and there is not to much going on in this makeup but it stands out a lot.

Val Garland

I really loved Researching and looking at val garland work because of the precision in all her makeup and the art form she includes in her makeup the lines and shapes makes her work stand out to me 

Over her career she's worked on many top end fashion shows and vogue cover shoots. 

Also looking at her work has had an impact of how I would want my final design to look to take a more artistic apraoach to my design.

Still Life Drawing

Following on from my experiment earlier on I went on to draw this really trying to show shadows and different tones on black from light to day.

Practising these drawings do help when it comes to applying makeup seeing were shadows fall and were light hits a certain parts of the face.

Different shades

Using different HB pencils I experimented with the different tones it could make from dark to light, also trying to create shadows, showing were light would hit an object and were the shadow would fall.

The Westmores

George Westmore started of the westmore legacy after being discharged from the army he moved from England to Canada then worked in beauty parlours around america he later retired in Los Angeles were in 1917 he went on to set up the very first makeup department also specialising in wig making.
George westmore had 6 children perc,bud,wally,ern,monte and frank all following in there fathers footsteps, all having careers in makeup some more than others

Michael westmore, monte westmores son also carried on with the westmore tradition and became a makeup artist winning countless awards and working on big hollywood sets 

practising face charts

 Designing face charts really do help wether your the designer or the artist.
 These are some practice makeup looks i had designed.
 using powder based makeup works best on face charts you can really blend colours together

 For this look i used a light creamy brown to cover the face and a subtle pink on the cheeks

on this face chart i used a dark brown powder foundation to cover the whole face  i attempted to try and use a darker colour to highlight her contour line but the colour may may have come out to dark.

4 colour makeup look

Achromatic make up

On the eyes I started from the inner eye lid all the way to the end of the eye lid with white eye shadow and I then used black to form the wing and blended into the white and the same with the lips, starting with white lipstick or in my case using the same white eye shadow mixed with mixing medium and applied black to the other side and blended into the white.

Analogous Make Up
for this makeup i used three colours that are adjacent to each other i decided to go with red, pink and purple
I used a deep red on the lips pink on he cheeks and red eye shadow

neutral makeup
i started of with a light cream colour on the eye lids and a dark brown on the contour line. on the lips i applied a dark brown lipstick

monochromatic make up
I used gold liquid eye liner on the eye lids and to create a winged look on the lips I gold eye shadow with gloss mixed medium

holloween (Dead chola? and jigsaw)

For my holloween makeup i got inspiration from these previous halloween looks

Day of The Dead Makeup

I started of by covering the whole face in white grease paint with a foundation brush I then covered around the eyes with green aqua paint

Around the outside I used pink and gold and blended in towards the eyes,

With the nose I used black to make a skull like nose structure

Using a smaller brush I used the same green I used on the eyes to create patterns on the forehead  and around the cheeks.

I then used black to cover the inner lips and created a stitch like pattern on both sides of the lips working my way in.

Given that this was the first time I had done this and within a short space of time I think it went ok but I would make the lips much more defined and neater and also blend the colours of the eyes better because it looks slightly messy and rushed
