Make up ideas

For my model's make up, I have researched types of make up female music artists tend to wear during a photo shoot, but also the makeup they wear when performing. I concluded that the make up does depend on the genre of artist they are,however, bright contrasting eye shadow is popular, which reflects a vibrant and young appearance of the model. In contrast, dark smokey eyes is also very effective and commonly used, it draws more attention to the artists eyes making the audience feel they have more of a connection with the artists. It can also create a dark and mysterious effect or just make the eye look larger and emphasised depending on hoe the makeup is not applied.  Skin make up varies from foundation of all the same tone, in different colours depending on their own natural skin colour and type, so dark skin to tanned skin to very pale. However, blusher and bronzer is ofter used to highlight features on their face mainly to define cheek bones. Lip stick is commonly used on most  photo shoots unless the image in attempting to create a natural look in which case no lipstick is used so attention isn't draw to the lips however a light gloss may be applied to make the lips look more plump and appearing. On the other hand, when lipstick is used it is very noticeable and draws immediate attention to the lips.Bright colours like red and pink is mainly used to create a sexual appearing look to the audience.

 The smokey eye effect which is created in the photograph  is used to make the eye look bigger and embrace the colour of the eye. It has been made to looker bigger by using a white eye shadow under the darker colours and it has been applied at the top of the eye lid and around the edge of the bottom making the eye appear wider as it comes from the inner corner of the eye.The black eye liner outlines the shape of the eye and encourages deep focus to the centre of the eye.The colour then slightly lightens as it fades out again to appear as if the eye is wider, in addition to the shading the colour blue has been added to embarse the inner colour of the eye around the pupil.

This eye is an example of the mainly all black dark eye makeup and it just uses shading to create the change of colour, a small amount of white eye shadow had been used in addition to the one main colour of black. This eye make up is simple yet effective and could be used on a number of different artist genres.

If the purpose of my image was to represent a personality of which was bright and bubble, fun and out going eye makeup like this would be very godo to use, it would also be good for pop artists or indie as it is unusual and a mainstream style of make up.
