We had to use a blank canvas, and at first I got confused so I started applying a foundation base which matched my models skin, then only to realise my tutor meant blank canvas as in 'white' skin.
So I quickly adapted my routine to what I was meant to be doing and carried on with my monochromatic look.
Health and Safety
- follow all health and safety routines
- when you have finished with your spatulas and any other consumables them put them straight in the bin as you don't want your work station to look messy or unprofessional
- when you have finished using your make up pads on your client make sure they are washed in wash water with a soft shampoo and rinsed in warm water and conditioner to keep them soft
Important questions to ask your client before any treatment is carried out -
1. Are they allergic to anything on - this can help you determine what products to use on the skin and which ones not to
2. Do they wear or have any contact lenses in - making sure you ask your client this is necessary as you don't want to do too much eye work and get product in the eye as this can irritate it. They may even take the lenses out whilst you do the clients make up.

Actions
1. I cleansed the skin removing all remaining make up and dirt using the cleansing routine.
2. I then used the Illamasqua foundations to create the right colour to my models skin tone. I just applied it over the top of the foundation I had already applied as it mixes together really well so it turned out really white.
3. I buffed out the white foundation on the skin to remove all excess product and patches or brush marks with my kabuki brush, this also evens it out on the skin making it look really soft.
4. After the skin was buffed, using my pad I used the Illamasqua loose powder to set the foundation.
5. As the power can look blotchy on the face I used a soft stippling brush and swept it over the face to remove all the excess powder from the skin.
6. Starting on the eyes, I used a flat round brush to apply bright orange eye shadow from the Kryolan eye shadow compact V2 Bright, just on to the eye lid.
7. Once I had got the colour I wanted, I used a small round brush to apply a softer, paler orange in to the eye crease.
8. Using a buffing brush I buffed both the colours together and around the eye so it looked blended away rather than a harsh line.
9. I asked my model to open her eyes and look to the ceiling, using my flat brush again I applied the darker colour all underneath the models eye around the lash line.
10. Then, wit the eyes shut I got my small round brush and applied the lighter colour all around the tear duct and inner corner area.
11. Using the buffing brush I buffed out the colours underneath and around the tear duct to remove all the harsh lines and to blend it out on to the skin.
12. Making sure there was no harsh lines left and the colour was very brush and pigmented, I then moved on to the lips.
13. To do the lips I chose to use the Kryolan Supra colour palette, as my colour scheme was orange I got a spatula and scrape out a little bit of the orange on to the back of my hand.
14. My small angled brush was perfect for doing the lips as it gives you a really sharp edge, I
got the brush into the product and started to fill in the lips and outline them.
15. Making sure the lips were even and there was no wobbly lines I then patched up the centre of the lips applying more orange to deepen the colour.
16. I really liked the look just how it was but I decided to add some colour on to the cheeks. I got my blusher brush and dipped in to the bright orange I used on the lid and created some cheek bones by smoothly sweeping the brush across the cheekbone.
Reflection
I really enjoyed creating this look, considering I was ding it wrong at first! But, when I got there I really did enjoy it, seeing how the colours really stand out again a white background was amazing!
The orange that I chose to use really stood out on my models face, as she has soft light brown hair and blue eyes. The look really seemed to suit her even though it was a very odd look.
Creating a really soft white base was tricky as first but buffing and setting it made it stand out and look really soft on the skin. Once I had that soft looking skin I was really pleased with myself as I know I had made a mistake in the first place.
When doing the eyes I was shocked at the pigmentation in the colours I was using, they were so vivid and bright on the skin you hardly needed any product at all to get the perfect colour.
Also on the lips the colour was so bright you didn't need a lot of product to get the desired look.
The brushes I was using were the best brushes for the job as they were very good at buffing and softening out the products on the face, the angled brush was very good and precise when applying the lipstick too.
The only thing I didn't enjoy about doing this task is that I bodged up in the beginning. I had enough time to complete my look but I was annoyed at myself because I had wasted time. Even though I corrected my error and the final result I was extremely happy with, it was still a mistake I could have avoided.
Overall, I was very pleased with the monochromatic look I created, I really enjoyed creating it on my model and using some of the products I have never used before. If I was to do this look again I would pick a different colour scheme as creating and using different colours gives a total different vibe and feel to a look.
