Technique:

1. I began by cleansing, toning and moisturising my face. 
2. I then applied the primer with a foundation brush working it into the skin.
3. I then applied the kryolan white base, working it into the skin with the kabuki brush. 
4. I then applied a light layer of translucent powder with a big brush to the skin. 
5. I then applied the red colour from the lovesick stack to both the inner and outer corners of my eye. Blending it out to create an explosion of colour fading out when it got to the centre of the eye.
6. I then went over this with the purple colour doing the same thing.
7. I then went in with the orange colour but applied this to the centre of the eye on the top and bottom lid.
8. I then blended all of these colours. 
9. Once it was all blended nicely I applied the liquid liner staying close to the lash line to give the eye definition. 
10. I then began shaping and filling the eyebrow with the red from the same eyeshadow palette. 
11. Once this was all done I applied mascara to my lashes.
12. I then applied the already sized lashes to my lash line. 
13. I then began lining my lips using the beet pencil. 
14. I then filled this in using the mac red lipstick.
15. I then applied the rust mac pigment to the heart shape, holding a tissue underneath to catch the fall out. 
16. I then went back using the red eyeshadow to strongly contour under my cheek bones to create definition. 

Outcome and Thoughts:

After trying my final design in mine and Erin's practise session, I decided that My final design was too time consuming to manage in time for Erin to complete it successfully in the timed assessment. I also didn't like how the original design looked when translated onto my face. I felt it looked like I had bruises around my eyes because of the placement. Erin also found the dots difficult to do and time consuming and I wasn't happy with it, so I looked closer at what inspired me in the first place and re thought my design. We still had enough time for me to re-think it in time to give Erin enough practise sessions. 

My Design For me was about placement of the makeup around the eye. Creating moods in areas on the face using depth of colour. My look was about highlighting the love that Kat ashley had for Elizabeth. I wanted to do that by channeling a feeling through the use of colour. There is a special connection to my chosen colours. I feel like the pigment can create that depth I wanted for my final look. I had a look for the images that inspired me in the first place and that ignited an emotional reaction from me. I then moved the colours around my face to see what felt right. I Then settled the colours in both inner and outer corners of my eyes and started to deepen the colour and It just worked. I'm really happy with my final Design and I feel that I have really translated the emotion through the make up. I also feel that this is something Erin can complete successfully in the timed assessment.
