Eye shape, space, definition

-pat oneyeshadow, blend colours together
-stencil new socket with strong liner
-draw liner underneath eye, extending length
Contouring
-very dark contour shade, under cheeks and around hairline/ temples
-clean brush to blend dark into lighter base
-highlight nose and darker tone either side, blended
highlight cheeks in a triangle from width of eye
-skin tone powders/ translucent to fix
-light pigment on inner corner of eye
-heavy liner under eye 'lower water line'
-apply lashes, top/bottom (upsidedown) then liner on top. White liner in water line
-draw on brows, lighter shade in center, drawing in hairs
-highlight beneath brow, shimmer cheeks and cupids bow
-3 lip colours, darker liner overdrawn, light center, blending colour
-shadow beneath bottom lip

Using a similar process, I created a dramatic, drag style makeup on a female model.

I found that ising porsaide was unsuccessful as any stubborn hairs created gaos when makeup is applied. By following the natural brow, I drew on the brows too close, so I corrected this by laying cream foundation on top. Eyelashes would have completed my look with a more dramatic effect.
Overall I was happy with this makeup as an experiment. However I would change the brow blocking method to either pritt stick or soap.
