Lucy- 2nd Make-up Practice on Model

This was my 2nd attempt at practicing my final design on my model. As I wan't really happy with the base I used last time, I mixed the Illamasqua skin base with the lightest shade  of foundation from the Kryolan palette. Looking at the pictures I was glad I did this as it gives the skin a very pale look but not white. I thought in my 1st attempt of practice the base looks too white more dramatic. Where as this the pale look I was looking to achieve. I found that even though I powdered this base it did nit have a drying effect on the skin and also did not go patchy. I like the pale complexion it gives the skin and I will be using this for the base on the day of the final assessment.

On the eyes, I used the same colours I did before as I said in my previous practice I kept the yellow as the base very light. Looking in the corners of the eyes it gives the eyes a very dull look instead of brightening them up and this is how i wanted it to look. With the shadows at the bottom they look a little too brown to me, I would add more of the purple shadow next time.This is because just as it is now it looks dull rather than looking sunken in. On the left eye I mixed the purple shadow with the Illamasqua sealer which formed a thin paste of the colour. As I drew the vein I found that this product would dry instantly on the skin. I drew the vein and dabbed it to fade the colour and to my surprise it was already dry.

Even though I powdered over them to fade them out, they still look like they are sitting in the skin. I will not use this particular combination of products again as it did not work for this. On the left eye I used the purple shadow again and this did not work either. At this point this was really stressing me and I was reconsidering wether to include the veins in my final design or not. I used the black Illamasqua black shadow to contour the cheeks, nose, forehead and the jaw line. I was happy with this and liked the shadows it gave the face yet looking natural. I went over the lips with the base colour and dabbed rd lipstick in the middle. I personally do not like the look of this and would re consider the lipstick for blood for the final assessment. In the mean while I need to look for another medium/product to create the veins with.
