Here I have experimented with my first face chart design. I started by applying a base of matte primer mixed with half Kryolan foundation in 'Alabaster' and half white Illamasqua foundation. I then powdered thoroughly over the top for a matte look to the skin like the Elizabethans would have had. Then I applied a small amount of blush in 'tremble' to my cheeks for a subtle rosy glow. For the eyes, I decided it wouldn't be realistic to have the pattern in a mask shape across my face as the stencil I used wouldn't have bent well enough so I decided to do it around each eye instead. I used a Inglot loose eyeshadow in '24' mixed with duraline to make it a liquid and painted it over my patterned stencil. For the lips, I decided not to do the pale pink gloss as I thought it was a bit plain so instead I chose to use my MAC satin lipstick in 'cyber' as it is a deep purple colour and purple was considered to be a royal colour and I also think it goes well with gold. I also dabbed a bit of the gold eyeshadow in the centre of the lips to tie them in with the eye make-up.
I was quite pleased with the outcome of the look but the eye make-up didn't work as well as I wanted it to so I decided not to choose this as my final design, but I really liked the purple and gold colours in the make-up.
