| Palette I used as inspiration. |
At last I finally feel like I am progressing with my assessment look. I went home and started to look into this technique of paint splattering by doing some internet research and looking at something I could use to link the look back to the bran Yves Saint Laurent itself.
After going back over the collection once again I was really drawn to the beautiful packaging from the spring collection from this year, being drawn to the palettes from the collection, the marble look really stuck out to me and I started to think about how I could pull this packing into a make-up look. As the packaging is a marble type of look with gold hardware, I looked at people on the internet that had created something inspired by marble...the results were poor and it was mainly more to do with nails.
I then decided to look back over my past designs and look at what I had already created to see what I could develop. Now I loved the fact that I had used a paint splatter effect on the previous look but I thought how I could use this in a fashion sense whilst incorporating this beautiful packaging.
I started to look at the colours in the predominantly green packaging and saw that it is built up with white, greens, yellow and small blue tinge running throughout. And by then I had come up with my idea, I was going to create a paint splatter effect across my models face hoping it would create the closest marble effect in make-up that I could think of.
In Kat's lesson I practised on my model Jamie (who I am using for the assessment) I firstly created a dewy base using a range of products such as moisturisers, glow creams, oils, powder highlighters and a light coverage of foundation, concealer and powder across the t-zone. I kept the brows very basic with a small amount of dip brow pomade by the brand Anastasia Beverly Hills to create a shape and then just brushed them upwards.I took two of the trends from the current season of make-up and catwalk of dewy skin and natural brows as I was going to create quite a dramatic look with the paint splatters. I applied a few individual lashes to my model just to create a natural but fluttery look.
Moving onto the paint splatter section of the make-up I used two small shaped fan brushes, one slightly bigger and one slightly smaller and used green and white paints. I was using a reference picture of the palette from the collection to try and create a similar type of pattern. Overall I love how this turned out considering I was so content on focusing on the eyes for this look. Unfortunately I am still stuck on hair but I think I will pick something that doesn't deters to much from the make-up so maybe something slicked back. Something I can complete in good time for the assessment as I think the make-up might take me a fair amount of time. I really want to perfect the base underneath.
After some feedback by Kat she agree that if I created this look with toothbrushes instead the paint would splatter a lot nicer and heavier and the camera would pick it up better. I totally agree with this and am going to try this with another practice to get my final look.
To be honest with myself I know something is off about this look and I know I am 100% happy the more I critique myself. I know I like where this idea is going and I know its missing something, it's just a matter of finding out what that is. I think my best move from right now is to look at expanding this even more and perhaps looking into how I can focus this more on a fashion look. I still feel like it has a beauty element to it. I think it looks to pretty and not as artistic as I would like it to look.
