Practise for the Makeup

I was really excited to practise the makeup, because I haven't created anything like it before. It gave me the chance to see whether it worked on the face and if there was anything that needed changing or developing.

The products I used to create this look are:

• MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation
• Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow
• Kryolan Eyeshadow in AB23
• Illamasqua Pressed Powder
• MAC Fluidline Blacktrack
• MAC Eyeshadow in Carbon
• Wolfe FX Paint in Black
• MAC Lipstick in Russian Red
• MAC Lipstick in Diva

I was fairly pleased with how it looked on the face, but there were definitely a few things that needed tweaking!

The first thing that jumped out at me, was that I think the lips need to have a darker line, almost an ombre lip, to define them. I could do this by lining the lips with a dark brown pencil and bring the colour inwards slightly, and then apply the lipstick to blend.

The black line on the lip also needs to go back right into the mouth, as you can see where it starts.

Upon inspection, my tutor Branka also suggested defining the lines on the eyes a little more by putting a thin but solid line through them. She also suggested putting something on top of the green, to make it more interesting as that part is quite plain.

I placed dots coming out from the corner of the eye to fill that space a bit more, and to give the makeup a more finished look. 

A part from the few changes I need to make next time, I am quite happy with the outcome, and I am confident it will create the creepy feel I am going for.
