Method – Eyes

 

1.      I like to leave lips until last so I started with the eyes first. Again, always start with the lighter colour so the darker colour doesn't make the lighter colour look muggy.

 

2.      Firstly I scraped some of the product that I wanted to use out the palette and tipped it onto the back of my hand.  Then using a small rounded brush, I applied a light brown to the corners of the eyes and blend out across the eyelid. Apply this to both eyelids - this is your base colour. 

 

3.      Next I chose a slightly darker brown scraped that out of the palette and started halfway across the eyelid and brought it to the edge of the eye. I like the way this creates a gradient effect.  I feel it gives a great smokey eye look.

 

4.      Lastly, I chose a dark brown to apply into the crease of the eyelid. This defines the eyelid and creates a moody look. I scraped this colour out of the palette and brought this colour out to a winged look as I felt this shape would've suited this eye shape of my model.

5.      Next I moved onto mascara.  I cut the end of the original mascara wand off so that I was not tempted to use this on my model.  It is important to have disposable mascara wands as there are many germs that can be transferred from eyes.  I used a disposable mascara wand and dipped it into the mascara once.  I asked my model to look straight forward and slowly applied the mascara.  I also asked her to blink as this helped apply the mascara.

Method – Lips

1.      Firstly I made sure I had a sharpened lip pencil as a point is perfect to create a near line.  I then started with the corner of the top lip and made small movements across the edge of the lip to outline it. 

2.      Then, I repeat this all over edge of the lip and then used the lip pencil to colour the lip in to give it a base colour before the lipstick is applied. 

 

3.      Next, use a lipstick that pretty much matches the colour of the lip pencil and use a brush to fill in the lip. Be sure to blend it into the lip liner so it doesn't look too prominent.  I chose to use red in this instance as I felt it went well with my chosen eyeshadow colours.

Below are my creations of eyes and lips

            I really enjoyed creating this look as I love blending eyeshadows and creating looks to suit other people.  If I was to create this look again I would maybe go over the natural lip line to give a plumper lip.  Other than that I’m very happy with my overall look.
