Miss Havisham; Final Makeup Design Practice

These are the continuity photos I took while creating of my final make up design on my partner...

Step 1

First I primed her face with the Illamasqua Matte Primer. She has very light skin complection which works very well with my design, so I applyed the foundation that matches her skin, then powdered. 

Foundation: Alabaster by Kryolan + Illamasqua White Base

Powder: Illamasqua Transluscent Powder

Step 2

Next I used my angled brush and shaped her eyebrows.

Eyebrows: Caraway + Black Pepper by Kryolan

Step 3

Using the Supracolor palette I mixed colours to get a shade of brown and with my angled brush I drew wrinkles around her eyes, nose, lips  and on her forehead. For me it is important that I photograph the wrinkles on her forehead because her natural lines are barely visible.  So I need to exactily know where to draw them when I recreate the look again.

Wrinkles: Yellow (509), Red (079) + Blue (BL. 10)

Step 4

Using my blending brush I blended the lines, starting from her forehead towards the chin. I decided to do the eyes last, as I will spend more time on them and add some more colour.

 Step 5

I wanted to add more depth to the eyes so I mixed a little bit of black with the brown I already had. Also, I used purple around the inner corners and along the lower lash line, to make the under eye circles more realistic. 

Eyes: Brown (079, 509 + Bl. 10), Black 071 + Purple/Lila 

Colours only added underneath the eyes

Step 6

First I tried to use the DUO to make her lips really chapped, but I didn't like how it looked, and it kept coming off. I ended up going over the lips with the foundation that I used before and then I added some gray eyeshadow to add depth. Then I powdered again.

Lips: Alabaster by Kryolan, Illamasqua White Base + Caraway by Kryolan
Powder: Illamasqua Transluscent Powder

We added the veil that we made for our assessments, go get the Miss Havisham feel to the look.

I am quite happy with the way this turned out but looking at the images I can see that the brown shade I used was too red. Also, the lines are not as blended as they should look as natural as possible, expecially the ones around the lips.
