For my next look I wanted to create a glamorous look, I wanted to do this to show variety within my portfolio. The inspiration for my look was again taken from Instagram, i looked at P Louise’s make up page to get some ideas of what I wanted to do. @plouise_makeup_academy is very popular at the minute and has made waves in the make up industry. Her own products are featured all over her make up page and demonstrated on a model. P Louise doesn’t just create a simple cut crease she takes the traditional cut crease to the next level by using different shapes and angles to create a unique and new look for the eyes. Her looks are always over the top with glitter, eyeshadow and highlight the quality of her work it looks like something that has been made digitally. I have been watching her IGTV makeup tutorials, they have taught me that the looks she creates take a long time to create as there are so many steps to complete. I wouldn’t attempt one of her looks if knew i didn’t have a long time to do so.
I decided i wanted to do a blue eyeshadow with a dramatic cut crease. I created this by using eyeshadow bases and shadows on top to make the colours more vibrant. When i apply eyeshadow i like to take my time blending the eyeshadows together to get a seamless blend. I think eyeshadow can look quite messy when not blended correctly. A lot of brushes are needed to create these type of looks as there is a lot of different consistency to the products including creams and pigments. It is essential i have a full clean kit when working, not only for mine and the clients health and safety but also to show my professionalism. After completing the eye look i decided to add glitter to the corner of the eye and to the bottom lash line as i knew it would capture nicely on camera. glitter always makes the look flirty and fun, this look would be fantastic for a music festival.
When taking my final photos i decided to get some close ups of the eye, I prefer how they look compared to the full face photos. I played around with the setting by making the sharpness and texture higher as i think it helped make the photos more detailed. I know that studio lighting would of helped with capturing the colour, sparkle and details. I would love to re-create this look again on a different model with a professional photographer that way i could capture the full look in better detail instead of just the one.
