Its Halloween, so naturally I was elected to do everyone in the households make up. This was mine, a simple splicer. There should be a better attempt at a splicer next week, when I will hopefully have the time to do the scars.

Current work experience, to create an enchanted forest for a Halloween party. We, (Rebecca Wright, Bethany Clarke, Jennifer Stevens, Thomas Hogarth and me, Simon Burgon.), were asked to construct a forest within a 20x20m room, using natural materials found in the surrounding area, the idea behind this project was to block peoples line of sight allowing them to explore the room and discover different areas within. This will be achieved by using trees and foliage to block the line of sight and also the addition of a hazer/ fog machine to limit the distance people can see. The floors are to be covered with leaves and moss to give the sound and feeling of a forest floor and also to provide the smell of the forest.

That’s me! I’m Bethany Clarke! You can see me perching in a couple the photos. So… Yeah. The room isn’t finished yet, we’ve still got to cover at the most a third of the room, all of the floor and spruce up the remaining walls with fresh foliage closer to the date of the party.

I potentially have a job as part of a make up team on an upcoming film and its not very often that I do someone else’s make up, excluding my sister, so I thought I’d better start practising.
I really need to practice doing contours, liner and eyebrows on others. So that’s what I did in this look. I was pretty lucky that the beautiful Beans has amazing eyebrows anyway, so I didn’t have to do very much in that department, (not that I had to do a lot on any other part of her face!).
If I definitely get the job, (which I’ve been told I will, but I find out all the details on Tuesday), I’ll be doing cosmetic/beauty make up, which comes a lot easier for me than prosthetic make up does. I’m pretty damn excited, but also nervous.

Challenge Six: ‘Smokey eye with a twist’.

The twist is that its pretty damn purple. That’s it really. Smokey eyes are simple stuff. I used the usual brands, Sleek, MAC, Illamasqua, Urban Decay, etc.

Technically this is challenge six, but I still haven’t got the products I want to use for the fifth one, so here this finally is.
Challenge Five: ‘Natural Look’.
I haven’t worn anything but mascara and a little concealer for the past few weeks so that should really be my natural look. But I recently bought my first Chanel product and I’m desperate to use it whenever I can to feel like I’m really getting value for money, after all a lot was spent on that one product.

I used a sample of Diorskin Nude in shade 010 Ivory for the foundation, then contoured with Chanel Ombre Contraste Notorious and also swept it through the crease of my eye. Lined my lash lines with a matte black eye shadow and blended it out, then used Benefit Bad Gal Lash for my mascara. I used Illamasqua’s Cream Blush in Zygomatic as well. Revlon Lip Butter in 005 Sugar Frosting was used on the lips.

So chances are I’ll be wearing this look a lot because I really love Notorious and I’m still too lazy to do a full make up look for general day wear.

I know I’ve been awful and I haven’t posted anything in ages, never mind kept up with the challenge. But I’m going to try and upload more frequently now. Probably not every day, seeing as I’m back at Uni now. That and the lighting in our house always makes the make up look way different to how it is. So yeah, sorry!

Day four, ‘Inspired by a Celebrity’.
My friend, Jessica, has a huge lady crush on Eva Green, so I thought I’d do Eva’s make up on her for this challenge.
Its not exactly the same, but the image is only meant for inspiration, not to be replicated.
Thank you for letting me do this Bigby! You took this very well :) I love you!

Day three, ‘Bold/Statement Lip’.
Again this is very simple, I wanted to do natural eyes so that it didn’t take any attention away from the lip colour. I used Illamasquas Liquid Metal in Stoic to fill out the lips, then used their Sheer Lipgloss in Violate on top to intensify the colour.

The mess from figuring out which products to use for today’s look. Can you believe I thought I didn’t own anything that would fit the description. Now I know.

Day two is ‘Neon’. I I was pretty worried about this one considering I thought I didn’t own anything that would work. It turns out I had two whole Sleep palettes that could work.
I started off doing a look that was going across both my eyes with pink on the lid, yellow in the crease and brows, orange fading into my hairline and orange lipstick, but it was awful. There was just too much neon, so I wiped it off and went for a simple approach instead.
So this look is just bright liner and neon lips, simple. I mixed Illamasqua Sealing Gel with a blue from Sleeks Ultra Matte V1 palette for the liner, and again with a pink from Sleeks Acid palette. I added a little gloss to the lips because they looked and felt really dry, which made them even brighter in person, but in the photos it looks a bit coral.
Its not the best or most imaginative look, but its neon dammit!

The cat eye with liner added to the under eye. It looks more like a cat eye this way, but I’m more comfortable with wearing liner on the lid only.

Sat, 15 Sep 2012 19:37:00 +0100

I haven’t done any make up in a while, I haven’t even been wearing it day to day, so I though I’d practice by doing a challenge. The challenge lasts for twenty-one days, with a different look or trend each day. Number one on the list is ‘Cat Eyes’, so this is my simple attempt at that.
I used a mix of colours from both of the Urban Decay Naked palettes, Sleek Ultra Matte palettes and a couple of MAC Shadows. The liner itself is the dark green in the Ultra Matte V2 palette. For the lips I used a Barry M Lip Pencil to outline and fill the lips, then Sleeks Mulberry Lipstick to cover.
Its not very good, but at least its a post.
