Face Charts

 1) This face chart incorporates the use of surgery lines as well the bruising I have been  looking at. The right eye will use a mixture of pigments and eye shadows using the more purple and green hues in the bruise colour pallet. I want the rest of the skin to be flawless and porcelain in appearance to give an almost fake look. I have also considered putting Vaseline or oil on the skin to make it shine. For the surgery lines and brow I will use grease based face paint. The left eyebrow will be blocked ant there will be no emphasis on lashes on that side. The right will be contoured using purple, pink and green shades, giving two really separate looks on either side of the face. For the lips a dark purple. I like how this look ended up looking quite futuristic.

2) For this look I decided to come up with something that would look cross between facial bruising and melted plastic all rolled into one! I would start with a fresh, neutral base, working up colour on the right hand side using supra pallet and pigments. I looked at the surface of my melted plastic creations to decide where to place colour, hence the random appearance. For those creations I used quite a bit of glitter too As I have previously mentioned in one of my very early posts about one of my colours being "night sky", I thought this would give me good excuse to incorporate some glitter into my looks, giving a "starry" appearance. I chose classic red lips to keep this beautiful and I would accentuate the left eye using dark lashes, perhaps blue and here I have also included globules of green, which I would add to the tips of the lashes to look like molten plastic.

 3) This look is based directly on one of my little plastic creations. I studied the movement of colour throughout one piece and translated it to the face. I think I would use grease based face paint to create this merging of colours as they move so much smoother over the skin. For the right hand side of the face i would like to have the cheekbone really contoured, here I have chosen the colour red to keep the look dramatic. For the lips I chose to do an "ombre" look, with the dark fading to the lighter purple/pink shades. This is just to mirror the merging of colours that occur on the melted plastic. As this look would be bold and sharp, I decided not to clutter it with lashes and eye makeup but to keep the focus on the colour and design.

4) This look is again based upon the plastic creations, but this more so the process of creating them. Alongside this inspiration I want to include the bruised aspect from a post surgery face. I aim to create a glamorous bruised eye using some dark pigments in purples, yellows and greens (bruise colour pallet once again!) Even though the colour hasn't showed up so strongly in the picture, I would have the eyes dark. As there will be a lot of colour in this look I want the skin to be porcelain. I would like to illuminate the skin also by blowing fine glitter all over the face. Where I have dropped ink on the image represents my use of pigment in this look. When creating my plastic creating I poured powdered pigment onto the plastic and blew it to spread the colour. I would repeat this process exactly onto the face, so the outcome could be a little random! Red glittered lips to add even more drama to this look and minimal eye makeup.

5) This look is based upon two aspects of my research. Yeo's paintings that I discussed earlier, inspired the brush like application of colour to the face whilst also giving it a more plastic appearance. My colour pallet has been inspired colourful bruises. For this look I wanted a really thick application, so I'm not sure what product would be best to use so this could do with a little more research. I have chosen thick night-sky lips covered in big glitter to really make the pop from the busy background. Again, with the lashes I wanted to add blobs of green, for these i would probably use nail varnish or fabric paint on the end of a pair of lashes.
