FOTW: Faces of the Week

So I had fresh blonde foils put in on Friday, which was a cause of celebration; I celebrated by buying new colourful studs, cute little bow barettes for my hair, and having friends over for pizza!  Naturally, that involved a fantastic, girly face of makeup to match my hair and my clips (the green one even matches my favourite striped socks!) so that's one face.

The second face was for a hairdressing competition.  My friend Jess did my hair, for the pre-apprentice hair up section of this competition, and I did my makeup.  The vintage look doesn't really match the extreme volume, in my opinion, or even look like competition makeup, but that was what she wanted...

Take a look at them both after the jump and let me know what you think!

Silver Wedding Makeup

irst ever makeup for a client was done today; makeup was applied for the bride and two bridesmaids, with a natural face and focused eyes.   Photos after the jump.

Makeup used for the eyes was BYS Creme Eyeshadow 'Animal Instincts' Palette and Blackbox Eyeshadow Palette in Black-brown (bride) and Brown (bridesmaids). All foundation and lipstick belonged to the client. All foundations used were liquid; the Bride used Shiseido, and the bridesmaids used Revlon Colorstay and Nutrimetics.
Foundation was applied using a synthetic foundation brush, and buffed to a smooth, even finish using a wedged sponge. A translucent powder was applied to the cross of the face (lower forehead to top of chin, mid-cheek to mid-cheek) using a natural fibre(unknown origins) kabuki-style brush. Eyeshadow was applied using a synthetic smudging brush and a flat eyeshadow brush.

A Few Spare Looks...

Found these in my gallery on Makeup Alley.  Figured, Hey!  May as well post them.  You'll have to forgive me for not filling in the details; they're from March and June, so I can't remember exactly what I used.  Most of the colours will be from the Blackbox or ChiChi eyeshadow palettes though, my foundation and powder is exactly the same as usual, and yes.  That is definitely a wig.

Take a look at these three faces after the jump!



Too Long!

Boy, has it been way too long since I've posted or WHAT?

I'm doing a wedding tomorrow, and this is the general look for the bridesmaids eyes; the bride will be a little lighter, with a fresher, brighter colour graduation towards the brow.

I will post pictures of the final looks tomorrow.

Take a look at the bridesmaids look after the jump.
