Welcome to my little blog. this is where I will be uploading different aspects of my work and letting you know how I created them. 

I will add a few at a time then swap and change them to keep it fresh and fun for you all to look at.

​

step 1: brows

This step is to do a full cleanse of your eyebrows leaving no oils behind for this I use the simple makeup wipes I find that these leave the most minimal residue behind. 

once this is done allow them to dry and against the grain of the eyebrow rub the Elmers glue stick back and forth over the eyebrow to cover it completely. take that wipe from earlier and clean up around the brow, this is so that there aren't any bits of glue that will lift. 

wait for each layer of glue to dry before adding the next 3/4 layers this way you will get the smoothest application. 

on the final layer lightly we the gluestick with water till it turns tacky and swipe it once in the direction of the eyebrow and lightly powder over it. once the powder is loosely set in place while the glue is still wet firmly with a powder puff press down to fill in the blank space.

This is a really hard step in makeup to make sure they are completely secure and flat, take your time, and don't be afraid to try again. 

​

step 2: colour correction and foundation

Using the orange LA girl pro concealer use a light amount on the finger over the eyebrows to remove the blue tones of the hairs. lightly powder over this so the colour doesn't move under the foundation.

next is to apply your foundation like normal yet being careful ver the brows as these could lift if rubbed too hard, be gentle and use a finger to tap as this is dry and won't lift the glue stick.

set this down with your powder to create your clean blank canvas.

​

step 3: adding colour

With some blush hit the end of the nose, temples, chin and forehead. this should be done very lightly and will make sense a bit later when we add the face paints. Add a yellow-toned highlighter where you would normally highlight but make sure that there is more than usual for that brighter look. 

Here is where we start playing with the yellow colours placing them where you would contour along the cheeks just under where you highlighted, the temples, neck, and eyelids. Go or the eyebrows and ears to and defuse the edges still leaving some of your skin showing through.

​

step 4: face paints and water liners 

Next grab your face paints in the colours green, orange, pink, yellow and red start with the colours under the eyes and slowly create waves and squiggles till you get almost a forced runny drippy look under the eyes. 

With the pink face paint add stripes where you added the blush colours this will make the blush go into the foreground and let the paint be much more forward which is the aim. 

with some neon liners from sheen cosmetics, I go over these colours with finer lines to add more colour and interest.

With the sheen liners, I take the blue and draw in the fake eyebrow over my own to give it that almost clown look. I also use this for winged eyeliner and the lips topping it off with blue creme paint and setting it with eyeshadow to make it last.

once everything is dry I take the colours of the face paint but in eyeshadow form and add a few circles in different areas of the face to add another shape to the look.

​

step 5: finishing touches

For the finishing touches, I chose a few random places for my face gems, while creating this I didn't have any set places for them as it was supposed to look really random and colourful. 

add a pair of your fluffiest lashes and some black mascara to define the eyes so they are brought back forwards and you're pretty much done. 

the final step would be to add a layer of setting spray over the face but be careful it's not so up close or it starts to run and dries a bit cracked. I had this issue and the way I had to remedy this was by adding a bit of eyeshadow over the top to fill in the blank spaces.
