Dark eyes and Lips

During this lesson with Fenella, we looked at creating dark eyes and lips for our second assessment of this unit. Fenella started with a demonstration of a classic smokey eye using four colours, a brown, black, grey and white shimmery shade. She finished with black gel winged eye liner and lashings of  mascara. She then moved on to the lined them with pencil and filled them in with a red/pink lipstick.

We then had to recreate one of the images we found of a make-up including a dark eye and dark lip.

I chose an image I found off instagram by a makeup artist called 'pinupbeauty'.

The class was unfortunately an odd number this day so I had to work on my own face. So I began by cleansing the skin and then applying my usual face base and then started by concentrating on the crease of the eye. I didn't have the right pink red colour that the make up artist has used in their look but I went for a darker purple colour (Kyrolan Shallot and Lavender) building this up until I was happy with the depth I had created in the socket. I then went onto add the gold shadow to the lid of the eye, blending ever so slightly into the purple layer of shadow I had put down in the crease. I then went onto smoke out the bottom lash line with the purples. I then applied a back Kohl pencil to the lower and upper water lines. I curled  my lashes and then applied lots of black mascara to both sets. I then moved on to the lips which I mixed red and blue (equal amounts) mad lip mix's and created purple which I applied to the lips.
