Technical File: Pale/White Face

Pale/White Face

For this session we focused on producing a pale/white face with make-up in order to achieve an Elizabethan look. For this session we were in threes and I was the model while the other two applied the make-up. The girls wanted to try out different techniques so one used the white Kryolan Supracolour palette on one side of my face while the other used the white from Kryolan Aquacolour mixed with the Illamasqua Satin Base Primer on the other. The side with the Supracolour produced a pale complexion but looked a lot more natural than the Aquacolour, which came out completely white and more like face paint. As the model I found the Aquacolour easier to wear as it was less drying to the skin but did find that it made my skin slightly itchy so would perhaps lean more towards using the Supracolour on my own face for my assessment.



 Afterwards we tried the whole face and neck just using the Aquacolour but mixed with water instead of a primer. This did come out a lot paler rather than white so again was good for a more natural look. The only issue we had with it was that it was quite difficult to remove all of it and took a while to make sure all of it was gone afterwards.
