3 Types of facecharts

14:21

Analogous

For my Analogous design i chose to use warm shades so i went with Red, Orange and Yellow. I used sharp angles because the face chart i used gave me the inspiration to use sharp lines because of the way it has been designed. I used red and yellow on the eyes and also included a gold line underneath the red. For the cheeks i used a mixture of orange and yellow shadows to make a contour. I like the contrast of the softness of the eyeshadow and the contour but the harshness of the liner and bold lip. For the lips i wanted to do a orange lips with a red ombré however the ombre didn't work as i wanted it to because the red blended in too much with the orange causing a darker lip. Next time i will make sure i am more careful when blending the supra colours on the lips so that i can get my ombre effect.


Complementary

For my complementary look i chose to use purple and yellow as they were opposite each other on the colour wheel. I used a lot of sharp lines again in this look and kept it very precise and contrasting it only a little with the soft ombre effect on the lips. For the eyes i used supra colours to create a strong, pigmented liner doing a double flick with the purple and then adding yellow in between the 2 flicks. For the cheeks i used a contour powder which when i practice this look will be a couple of shades darker than the models skin tone. For the lips i created a ombre effect again but this time putting the darker colour  in the centre of the lips with the lighter colour on the outside. This didn't work too well on the face chart as the purple didn't show up on  the yellow too well and just went really dark.


Monochromatic

For my monochromatic look i decided to go for the colour red as it was kind of relatable to the Elizabethan research we have been doing recently. I have seen a similar eye look to this on the catwalk at a fashion week in the past and it was what just sprung to mind when i was designing my first look. I really like the sharp, hardness of it yet it fades out softly. I wanted to make a statement with the lip as well as the eyes so i went for a bright red lip that was extremely pigmented to create that effect. I also did a red contour using the bright red blush. I felt that this look wasn't really coming together so i added something extra to the lips. I used Mac reflex red on the centre of the lips just to have some glitter instead of the look being so flat and one texture. When i practiced the look on Leah (Monochromatic blogpost) i used a white base, but i didn't like the way it made the powders so patchy and i didn't get the look that i imagined when i was designed it on my face chart.
