Health and Safety check:

1. Check that all bags and belongings have been stored away properly.
2. Make sure my client is sat comfortably and caped. 
3. Cover my work station with couch roll.
4. Make sure all of my brushes have been washed and sterilised with Isopropyl ready for application.
5. Complete a consultation form with my client and check for any Contra-indications. 
6. Wash hands with soap and water to prevent bacteria from being transferred to my clients face.

Technique:

To start apply a base colour all over the eye. Then I checked over the shape of my models eye to see how to apply the eyeshadow to create the best shape and look. I chose neutral browns as I felt it suited Annie's natural colouring. I then applied Dark brown to Annie's outer corners, under her bottom lash line, and worked it into the crease blending it out as I went. I then applied mascara to the top and bottom lashes. When this was done I sharpened my black eyeliner pencil and applied a thin line to the top lash line to create some definition. I sharpened my white eye pencil and then asked Annie if she was ok with me applying it to her lower water line. She said yes so I applied it gently, breaking when I could see she needed to blink.

I then began shaping and filling Annie's eyebrows using a eyebrow shaping brush and the same dark brown eyeshadow from the Mac palette. Once this was complete the eyeshadow application was complete. 

Outcome:

I'm really pleased with the outcome of this application. I love how it has shaped Annie's eyes. I did struggle with the fall out of the eyeshadow so I think in order to avoid this next time I will use the tissue to hold underneath to catch the the fall out but I was really happy with this result.
