The hair design for this look is the focal point so I had practised it many times; however I felt I needed to practise the makeup to achieve my desired effect. I made sure I powdered the skin generously to ensure the hair design over the face did not get attached to any sticky makeup. I kept the skin very simple by perfecting her skin with foundation and concealer, powdering the whole face and then adding a subtle, cool toned contour to make her face look more defined and slightly sunken in. I applied concealer to the moisturised lips for a slightly blanked out effect to add to her drained and tired look. I combined many warm toned shades to her eyes, including pinks, purples and oranges, to build up depth in her inner socket. I used colours that reflected bruising and tired under eyes to emphasise her feeling of being controlled and emotional bruised. I felt the colours blended seamlessly together to create a shadowed effect. My model has extremely fair eye brows which I will lose some dimension to the face and make her look more inhuman, like an alien, reflecting her feelings of not feeling accepted in humanity. I added a subtle white line around her lash line to emphasise that my model will not be wearing mascara on her fair eyelashes, to emphasise the alien-like effect. I am very pleased with this outcome and am excited to combine it with the hair and styling!
