For the beauty look, I still wanted to keep the same feel of 'dirty saint' apparent. This one has to be the hardest in terms of design when trying to keep the concept. I wanted to create a beautiful makeup that can be worn out.
The Makeup
First I started with the perfect base using concealer and illamasqua's rich liquid foundation in three colours. Colour 200 on the cheeks, above the cheekbones, down the nose and on the chin. I then used the foundation in colour 320 on the sides of the forehead, under the cheekbones and down either sides of the nose and blended. This gives shape, structure and highlight to the face.
To give the face even more of a glow I used the duo bronzer palette to contour the forehead and the cheekbones. I added a touch of the liquid metal in bronze for a light reflecting edge.
Using the yellow pencil I lined the lips and coloured them in adding some lip balm to soften them.
On the eyes I started with an all over pearl colour and shaded with a golden bronze eyeshadow. Around the socket of the eye I used the liquid metal again to create a cat flick inspired shape for the shadow.
On the water line I used a blue pencil and added a small line of eye shadow underneath the lashes. I coated the lashes with some mascara to make the eyes pop.
I added a couple of layers of yellow eye shadow one the lips I create a velvet matt effect.
The Hair
First I decided to use a wig to create a Bold dark statement with the hair. And to wrap a cross studded belt around the next to take a twist on the dirty saint meaning and give it sexual connotations.
After taking a few images I decided to leave the hair looking natural and curly as my models hair was Afro Caribbean hair. I then put the belt around her neck tucking her hair inside and it made the makeup pop out. I realised the hair was taking the attention away from the makeup.
