Eyebrows,Eye shadow and Lips:
In this blog I am writing about the technique and application of eyebrows,eye shadow and lips. When learning how to colour in the eyelid we first had to analyse what shape the eyelid was therefore to determine how to shade in the lid for its type. Firstly, I started off by putting on a foundation base and concealer (which is shown in another blog) and then powered under the eye so if there was any fall out from the eye shadow you could brush it away at the end. I started by priming the lid and then finding that my client has wide set eyes meaning I would fill the lid with a base colour and then smoke out a darker colour in the crease. I decided to go with two mac colours from the M.A.C pallet that where a light beige and then a darker brown. To start applying the eye shadow I took a small eye shadow brush, using the light beige colour you pull the corner of the eyelid very gently and place on the eye shadow base as normal. When putting the base on you do this to both side before smoking out the brown and the reason for pulling the corner of the eye lid is to prevent the product creasing when the client closes the eye. Then when putting the brown eye shadow product onto the brush I did the same again by pulling the eye lid lightly but this time working from the crease, an outwards towards the face to create a smoky eye. When this look is complete we move onto the eyelashes and by using the disposable wands I took a bit of mascara and working on the top lashes firstly, brushed downwards, then upwards. Lastly, on the bottom lashes just brushing the product side to side and carry on this look until the desired effect. Then to finish off the eye brush away the loose powder from under the eyes with a powder brush to get rid of any fall out from the face.
To finish off the eye look we were taught how to apply product to the eyebrows to create our desired natural brow. Using a colour from the M.A.C pallet again for the brow which I thought was most suitable for my client I then took a clean disposable wand and placed the product onto it. Starting from the inside of the brow I lightly touched the hair and brush in the direction of hair growth. Then continue onto the other brow and if you wish reapply until the desired effect, I only did this once as I wanted to achieve a natural looking brow. To finish of the look I took a angled brush and then by using a wooden scapular I took a light nude colour and gently applied this to to the lips. Overall, I believe this was a very useful exercise as it taught me how to apply product in the proper manner and knowing how to do a basic look which I can now expand onto any other look in the future.
