Monochromatic
For this session we had to do a monochromatic look on a pale or white
face and then do it on someone else in the group that we had designed
ourselves. I designed the look before the session on a facechart:
For my design, I decided I wanted quite a simple but dramatic look and
decided to use the colour black so used different shades ranging from jet black
to grey. I used the Illamasqua skin base in White for my base as I wanted a
look that was pale rather than really white. I then did a dramatic smoky eye
using the Mac Palette, only using grey and white shades, I really liked using
these as I found them easy to blend. For the eyebrows and lips I used the black
in the Supracolour palette. I found the eyebrows quite difficult as the colour
did smudge and I wanted a very even and sharp look to them. I also used this to
create winged liner, although the shape differed from my original design as I
felt that the way I designed it didn’t do very well with my models eye shape.
Lastly I used the one of the greys in the Mac Palette to contour to create a
dramatic and dark look. I found this quite difficult to do as it came out very
dark and was difficult to blend into the white base so I put more of the skin
base over it and blended it this way.
I like the way that the make-up looks in the photos, however, I felt
that in real life the base looked quite patchy. I found the Illamasqua skin
base quite difficult to work with as it was very hard to get an even coverage
and I found that a lot of it rubbed off. I therefor think that I would use a
different product to this when creating a pale faced look in the future.
