First Application On Another Person

Today was the first time I've done makeup on someone else for my portfolio. I've done my mother's makeup, helped aunts and friends with theirs and worked on a few models for an amateur fashion show at my school but this was still a really exiting time.

 Neutral Cut-Crease

For the first look I tried to do a mainly brown cut-crease but I don't think I pulled it off very well. The fail isn't obvious in the open eye-d photo but when my model's eyes are closed or she's looking down you can see that  didn't do as much blending as I should have to get the black fading into brown which would fade into my frosty highlight. I just didn't think about that until after I saw the photos. "A" for honesty and gaining experience? And "A+" for the lips which were the redeeming factor in this look. I outlined the lips with a black pencil and blended it out into a very cool toned red. I really love the way that turned out.

Tenacious Teal

The next look I did, in my opinion, was a complete success. I just loved this dark smokey eye on her. The eye look was centerd on the Maybelline Color Tatoo - Tenacious Teal which was the only colour used. I used some balck to darken this up and add some drama. I used a nude lip colour as the eye was already so dramatic.
