Covering up tattoos

Covering up tattoos.
This was one of my fave lessons. I love how i could just make it disappear.

The main thing you need to know about covering up whether it be tattoos or blemishes, is the colour wheel. The colour wheel shows you what colour counteracts. On the wheel you have your oranges and browns. On the other side of the wheel tight opposite is your blues and purples. The colour wheel shows you that when you are covering up under the eyes you use an orange concealer to counteract the blue/purple. That was the trick with tattoos. This is a before and after shot of a tattoo I covered up.

This was the last day of school. 2011 was a year of make up! was so so fun. i learnt make up from the Egyptian eras all the way through the Edwardian era to the 70's and that's not including all the prosthetics we did and special FX make up we learnt. in the next few weeks i will upload as many pictures and stories and tips as i can. will be fun being back online!

The Next Big Thing

Hey Bloggers
This is my latest shoot with an up and coming singing star.
I thought for her skin tone, age and face shape and went for a nice easy look.
I used M.A.C face and body foundation C2 to match her skin tone.
Put some of Benefits Benetint on the apples of her cheeks and then went over her face with some Ben Nye translucent powder and some Gorgeous Cosmetics Dusk Rose over the cheeks again.
Then i decided to go with a simple look for the eyes because she is only 15 years old. i went with M.A.C Fluid Fine and went for a thinish line just on the top lid. Then put some mascara and a few false lashes at the end of the lash line. We finished up with some High Beem by Benefit just above the cheeck bone and some M.A.C lip liner Swirl and lip gloss Lust.
