Testing Testing!

Below was the outcome from my testing on a mohican for my catwalk look on a boy to see if I could use a male model for this look as well as a girl, and also my tribal sleeve.

I think the mochican looks really good however due to the colours it did look a bit too 'Jedward' styly :| damn you jedward!

Editorial Tribal Sleeve

I decided to try out different products which would look and work best to create my full sleeve idea. Firstly I started to create the top half trying out Kryolan's supra colour palette for the larger areas (the big bold black lines) but when it came to the smaller detail I used a collection 2000 black eye liner pen which was incredible! It didn't run out and was the perfect size for small detail but could also be used to make the black more bold for the larger areas.

This is my top half of the sleeve which took me about 10 minutes to do...

All of this was freehand drawing to make it look similar to the tribes men and women body paint - not perfect

I took another image at the half way point, this took about another 10 minutes

This was 3/4 of the sleeve which took about a 45 minutes to do (the sleeve is both on the top half and underneath his arm up to the arm pit.

I tested out how the design would look on camera and I'm really happy with the out come considering this was completely freehand, and random as I had a few images with me but decided to go randomly with patterns and shapes.

This image above was taken by accident as he was pulling his shirt back up but I really like it! I love his body shape and how his arm is wrapped around his body - this image has inspire me for the positioning of my model in my final shoot.

Beautiful skin - Facial MakeupI decided to test on creating beautiful skin. Below are some images of the makeup I tried out to create flawless, heavily contoured and highlighted skin.
I also tested out my lip colour and eyebrows.

I used illamasqua's rich liquid foundation in 200 and kryolans conclear pallette to create the flawless base.
I then used MUAs bronzer to creating intensely contoured cheekbones and nose. I also used this around the crease of the eye to create depth and shading.

Using illamasqua's liquid metal in gold and benefits sun beams highlighter, I created dramatic cheekbones and a flawless look to skin giving it a shimmer. I also used this on the nose.

I created bold black pointed eyebrows using illamasquas pencil eyeliner in black and used this to outliner her lips.
For the colour on the lips is MUA's medium brown pencil with a light cote of gold lipgloss by illamasqua.
