Monochromatic, Analogous and Complementary Face Charts

I produced three face charts which all had different ideas and different looks to them. I did three different ones by using a monochromatic, analogous and complementary look. 

Monochromatic 

This is where you use the same colour in different tones. 

I chose orange as its a very warm colour and it would look really nice on a white complexion. 

The face would be all white and powdered so it looks smooth and soft, using the Illamasqua skin base foundation in white and the Illamasqua loose powder

The eyes would have Mandarin on the eye lids from the Kryolan Brights palette, and to blend the colour out I would use AB13 from the same pallete. 

On the cheeks to define those I would use the mandarin colour again to keep in with the same look. 

On the lips I would use the Supra colour in the bright orange colour. 

I really like this look as the one colour theme would look so nice on a pale skin. 

Analogous 

This is where you use two colours which are next to each other on the colour wheel.

This look will also be on a pale skin complexion but using the Illamasqua skin base in white all over the face and neck, and then setting it to give a smooth even look with the Illamasqua loose powder.

I chose the blue and purple because I really like cool colours when they work next to each other.

On the lid I used AB6 on the lid which is a nice dark blue shade to give the eye some depth, then around that and blending the blue in, I used AB22 which is a nice shade of pinky purple. I brought the shadow right out to the temples for a different look and added white eye liner too for a funky edge to the look. The white eye liner I used the White in the Supra colours palette.

On the lips I used the dark blue shade on the liner and the outer edge of the lips and on the centre of the lips I used the purple shade, both these colours are in the Supra palette.

This look is so edgy and cool I wouldn't ever wear it myself unless it was for a certain brief or cat walk, but I'm pleased with this look as its very different to anything I've seen before.

Complementary 

These colours are both from opposite sides of the colour wheel and so they complement each other on the face.

This more edgy look I created with the Brights palette. Firstly I would use the Illamasqua skin base foundation in white all over and then I would powder using the Illamasqua loose powder. On the face to get the green look I used  H21 in the Brights palette, I would contour the cheeks with this colour adding more there to get more of a defined cheek bone, I would then brush over most of the skin to get the green look and leave just under the eyes, down the nose, the chin and the bottom of the forehead more white so it looks like its been highlighted. On the eye brows I would fill the brows in with H19 a darker shade of green to give them more definition. On the eyes I used  the shade SM in the Brights palette which is a red shade, I would blend it out to the crease and underneath and around the eyes. Under the bottom lash line I would do a red liner with the dark red in the Supra palette and I would also use that colour on the lips too.

I like this look as it so very different using the green on the face to get the definition on it instead of just a normal powder. I also like the liner that I did too it gives the look an edge and something different is brought to it too.

Reflection

I really liked making these looks because they are all different, all very colourful and I really enjoyed making them too.

I like the middle one the best the analogous look because I just think it is something totally different which I haven't seen before with the white eyeliner.

The only think I didn't like about creating these looks was it was hard to decide what colours to use and which ones I think would work the best. I wanted to create something totally different and so being creative and trying to produce something that I never had before was a struggle but once I did one I had the inspiration to carry on with the other two.

Overall, I loved creating these looks! I want to try them out on some one so I can see what they really look like on the face. They look good on paper but it could look totally different on some ones face.
