Partner's Design

Corey’s design included the use of Paperself eyelashes which we’d worked with in a practical session in the weeks prior with Lara. Corey explained her design to me, making it very straightforward to follow. For the base, Corey wanted the white Illamasqua foundation mixed equally with the Illamasqua satin primer. Then, after setting this with loose powder, Illamasqua Ambition blusher was applied to the cheeks. MAC coffee pencil was worked through the eyebrows and then the gold colour from the Illamasqua metallic palette was used underneath the eyebrow. The eyes were lined with Bobby Brown gel eyeliner (provided by Corey) and then the lashes were coated with mascara using disposable mascara wands. Then, using the duo lash adhesive, I applied the paperself eyelashes using tweezers. Corey had cut these prior to my application to save time. Finally, the metallic gold is used again on the lips.

 During my trial run, it was suggested by our teacher Sue that we can achieve a really great effect by powdering the lips on top of the gold and then reapplying the gold with the lips screwed up and then re-powder to create a cracked, dry effect. Corey liked this technique so chose to include this in the final assessment. 

Here are images from trials I ran on Corey and myself.
