Taking Out Eyebrows....

Removal of Brows

So as we all know the Elizabethans were notorious for their absent hairline and brows.

In this session I was taught how to remove my own brows using soap and a pritt stick, after watching both demo's I decided I preferred using a pritt stick.

Here's How....

• Cleanse and Tone Face as usual
• Using a spatula apply the pritt stick in the direction of the hair growth
• Apply translucent powder to help dry the brow area
• Apply foundation to the brow, once the brow is covered continue applying foundation to the rest of the face

Val Garland....

Val Garland

Make up artists are all new to me, unless researching I wouldn't be able to name someone off my head.

Now Val Garland who i have been asked to research is amazing, she brings something different to the table. Val uses lines and shapes as her make-up, it gives the model a edgy yet different look. I think for the catwalk and magazine covers her designs are outstanding

Val has worked for Top model Kate Moss and has done multiple vogue covers. She has also done work for Vivienne Westwood's catwalk.

Colour Theory....

What is colour theory?

Colour theory is a guide when mixing colours. There are categories based on colour theory such as colour wheel, primary colour, secondary colour and tertiary colour. 

The tradition of colour theory steamed back in the 18th century, with the helping of Sir Isaac Newtons theory of colour and the nature of primary colours.

Self Portrait

Self Portrait

So I was asked to produce a self portrait (selfie) of myself that shows wealth. Now I wouldn't say I'm wealthy nor have anything to show off, but I did happen to find a picture of myself at my happiest. This was back in New Year 2012, I travelled to the BIG APPLE! Now like I said above I am not wealthy, maybe its because I was a tourist but the Americans made me feel so superior, I felt like a celebrity, and feeling this way made me look this way.

So here it is my self portrait Heathrow Airport Terminal 5

I guess you could say the fur and heels show a sign of wealth :)

Three Three Three

The Three Brush Challenge.

Initially I was thinking why and what is the need for this task. Surprisingly I enjoyed the task and my make up looked just as good if not better.

So basically I had to choose a make-up look, as it was timed assessment week I decided to stick to my models design. Then I had to choose three brushes to complete the whole look, I chose my foundation brush, buffing brush and lastly blusher brush.

If I was to go back to this task I would replace my blusher brush with a smaller brush as I struggled slightly when it came to working on the eyes and lips.

Here's My Completed Look!

In 1921 Monte Westmore made his break becoming actors Rudoplh Valentino's personal make-up artist. Sadly in 1926 Rudolph passed away, Monte went on to work at Selznick International. He met his death 13 years later after the huge work load for the movie 'Gone with the wind' became too much for him.

Perc Westmore became established in 1923 when he landed a career with Warner Bros. He worked on films such as 'The private lives of Elizabeth and Essex'.

Wally Westmore worked for Paramount in 1926 and created the faces for 1931. Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde. He became well known for his prosthetics.

Contouring.....

How to contour......

In this practical session we learnt how to highlight and contour the face.

• Firstly apply the foundation base, to match your models face
• Set with translucent powder
• Using the camouflage palette select a colour darker than the models natural skin tone, ask model to suck in her cheeks and apply directly, blend this in well
• Also apply to the sides and tip of the nose to make the nose appear smaller and shorter
• Add a blusher to complete the look

Ta Da!!!
