old age makeup

Image
hair up and slop shirt obtained I added a layer of cold cream to my face to act as a barrier  I added green to color correct redness (I don't have as many pimples as last time) and yellow to correct darkness, which is only under my eyes this is the color correction blended I put a layer of foundation on - I used the medium shade in my kit I used the eyebrow pencil to map out my wrinkles. I used my old person picture and transparency as reference, but I also made a bunch of faces to create more and made them look more natural I added highlight over the wrinkles and then put a little on the tip of my nose and my chin. I put the highlighter above the more horizontal wrinkles and then on the outside (from the center of my face) on the more diagonal/vertical wrinkles.   I darkened the wrinkle outlines and added a jaw contour (which I now realize I didn't picture, but it was like the shape of a 3 on each side). I also added contour around th...

Shout out to Miss Halle for sharing her blog post so early so I could follow along :) I put green on blemishes to cancel the red and yellow under my eyes to cancel out the under eye bags. The yellow is from a little quad I have of color correctors which is why it looks blended, but I promise it isn't. This is the yellow and green blended. I always struggle blending the green because I have a difficult time finding the balance between keeping it too green or blending it so much that it doesn't cancel out the red.  I put on my medium foundation shade. At this moment I realized that I might have used too much cold cream, which is why I look a little oily.  These are the contour lines. Using lines makes it look more natural once blended. I contoured the areas of my face that I want to appear deeper (cheekbones, forehead, temple, under lip). This is different than how I normally contour, as this isn't super complimentary to my face shape.  These are...

  Krewe of Selene my sketches and ideas for Krewe of Selene. I really liked the third one, but I chose the last one because I know the pink would have stained my face lips are dark blue these stars are reminiscent of The Little Prince filled in those moon craters this side is the moon, a dark moon this side is the night sky Krewe of Bacchus sketches of the Krewe of Bacchus. I really struggled to make a design I really liked for this one. After Colleen suggested I focused more on the theatre aspect instead of the wine, it was a little easier.. purple on the tragedy side black for the mouth yellow for the comedy side one (1) blue teardrop. is it because I'm sad or in prison? Krewe of Eve I really liked designing Krewe of Eve. I was going to use this for the second makeup look, but after it was announced we were going to do each other's makeup I started panicking because I knew this one would take long and I don't...

Friendship but make it Mardi Gras For this assignment Bridget and I did each other's makeup... I had a panic attack but that's show biz baby Bridget's design was for the Muses Krewe The purple is super streaky, but the pinks came out really nice- specifically the dark pink.  I tried fixing the purple to make it less streaky, but every time I tried fixing an area, it would get worse, so sacrifices were made this pink applied very nicely. I'm a big fan of this side of her face friendship pic before I had a panic attack  My design was Krewe of Bacchus (heavy emphasis on theatre) here's me crying because people doing my makeup freaks me out the mouth isn't ideal, but it works. also shout out to my eyes for looking like 2 different colors because of the makeup around them. we love green eyes this side of my face is awesome. just look at the opacity of the yellow, the slight curve of the smile, and that purple eyeliner. wow. ...
