Monochromatic make-up experiments

For the white base I mixed white Supra Colour with the Illamasqua Matte Primer, as I found this mixture worked best in previous practice. I applied it with a foundation brush, and then buffed it with a kabuki brush. I then ran a pale red eyeshadow through the brows. In my plan I had wanted the brows to be a pale red colour, so if I did this look or a similar one again I would be sure to lighten the eyebrows first with heavier foundation on top of them, so that the dark hairs didn't effect the intended look. Next, I mixed white, red and gold Supra Colours and applied it all over the eyelids. Immediately, the monochromatic look began to fade, as the gold made it look more analogous. I had expected a more pink, rose-gold colour, which would have better suited the monochromatic scheme. I added a darker red shade of eyeshadow through the crease. I then did an ombre lip, with darker red around the outsides and lighter, almost orange-red in the centre. If I had more time, I would have added pale red contouring. Another thing I struggled with was keeping the look neat while I worked; for example, smudging the skin with my hand, or getting fall-down from eyeshadows on the cheeks. Overall, however, I am happy with the finished look and enjoyed working with different products.
