My third practice of Dil's design

This time, I applied less foundation so that it was more sheer and made Dil less pale; she was happier with this finish. Next I applied gold Aqua Colour to her eyebrows, so that it would set and I could apply another layer to make them more solid and pigmented. I also put this under Dil's cheekbones; she preferred the side where I applied it a bit more lightly. Going back to the eyebrows, I traced the shapes on both sides, trying to get them to match, which was quite hard - once finished it was clear that one side was more curved and came up higher, so I will be careful to make them more symmetrical in the assessment. Next I applied black eyeliner (instead of the gold last time) to the upper lashline and waterline, winging it out slightly and blending it to give a smudgy look. On one side I used a kohl pencil and on the other I used the Illamasqua black eyeshadow with a flat brush; she preferred the latter as it gave a softer look. She liked the black around the eyes more than the gold from our last practice. I also painted the eyelashes gold. Then I applied lipstick. I always find it difficult to make them look neat and even, however I think I did a good job. We tried applying gold Aqua Colour to the cupid's bow and centre of the lips instead of the outer corners this time, which Dil preferred. Finally, I added the lace - a thinner one this time to let more gold show through - by dabbing Duo eyelash glue to the corners and sticking it on. I was happy with how I recreated Dil's design, and so was Dil. I had time left over, which means I will have plenty of time to paint Dil's neck gold and wrap lace around it to finish off the look.
