Elizabethan
Make-up including blocking out eyebrows
Soap
Method
You will need:
Toner
Water
Brushes
Soap
Cotton wool pads
Cotton Buds
Method:
-Wipe over the eyebrows with toner
on cotton wool pads.
-Wet the soap and make a paste
using an angled brush. Dove soap is good as it is very soft so can easily be
made into a paste. If the client has sensitive skin then use unscented soap.
Soap often looks better than pritt
stick because it is not shiny.
-Ask your model to close their eyes
just in case the soap runs.
-Brush through the hairs with in
soap in the opposite direction to hair growth and then in the same direction as
hair growth. This makes sure the soap gets down to and covers the roots of all
the hairs.
-Use your finger to smooth down the
eyebrow hair using a firm pressure.
-Use a cotton bud to remove any
soap that has gone onto the skin.
-Then apply another layer of soap
using the same technique and keep applying more layers. When using soap aim to
smooth down the eyebrows enough so that the texture of the eyebrows is removed
and not necessarily the colour. The colour can be fully blocked out using
make-up.
-Let the soap dry and then use
grease make-up on top, do not use water based make-up as it will dissolve the
soap.
-This technique is used a lot in
fashion shows as it is quick and easy to remove.
Pritt Stick
Method:
You will need:
Pritt
Stick
Spatula
Toner
Cotton wool pads
Cotton buds
Water
Translucent powder
Powder puff
Method:
-Wipe through the eyebrows using
toner on a cotton wool pad.
-Remove the Pritt
Stick from the tube using a spatula.
-Use the spatula to apply the Pritt
Stick to the brow, pressing down firmly in the direction of hair growth.
-Apply quickly as the glue sets
fast, this is also why you only apply in the direction
of
hair growth as the hairs would stick up if you applied it in the opposite
direction.
-Use the spatula to remove any
excess glue that has gone onto the skin before the glue dries. If the glue has
dried use a cotton bud dipped in water to remove the excess glue.
-Use your finger to press down
firmly onto the eyebrows.
-Apply more layers of glue using
the same technique until the eyebrows are smooth and covered well.
-Powder the glue before it fully
dries to achieve a good coverage, using a powder puff to apply as the powder
will sop the glue sticking to the powder puff. The Pritt
stick
will look shinny if not enough powder is used.
-Then apply your chosen base,
grease based foundation works better than water based as it does not dissolve
the glue.
-This method is sometimes used in
fashion and also by drag queens as it keeps the hair flat for a good amount of
time.
Make-up
after blocking out eyebrows
-For a modern day make-up look use
the pink R21 Supracolor and
white 070 Supracolor
if needed to cover dark hair by pressing it on top of the eyebrow, do not rub
in. Then apply your chosen base. This is often used for fantasy make-up so that
there is more room on the forehead and the eyelid for painting on designs.
Elizabethan
Make-up
You
will need:
Supracolor
white 070
Illamasqua
Skin
Base Foundation SB 01
Aquacolor
white
070
Disposable mascara
wands
Translucent powder
Powder puff
or powder brush
Foundation brush
Buffer brush
Pink blusher-Kryolan
T0 and R21
Matte pink
lipstick
Method:
-For Elizabethan make-up use white
070 Supracolor
to cover the eyebrows on top of the glue using a foundation brush.
-Then use Illamasqua
Skin Base Foundation SB 01 on top of the white Supracolor
and then
apply
the Skin Base Foundation to the rest of the face and any skin that will be on
show. For example the ears, chest and neck if the hair is going to be up. To do
this use a foundation brush and then a buffer brush to blend the product into
the skin.
-Use the white Supracolor
070 or the white Aquacolor 070
on the eyelashes to make them white, apply using a disposable mascara wand.
-Then powder
carefully using translucent powder and a powder puff or powder brush.
-Apply pink blusher to the apples
of the cheeks, Kryolan TO
and R21 blushers wok well.
-Finally apply pink blusher to the
lips or a matte pink lip stick.
Contemporary Elizabethan Look:
I used soap to block out the
eyebrows and then followed the same method for doing the Elizabethan style of
make-up but used more contemporary shades for the lips, cheeks and eyeshadow.
I did the colours stronger then they would have been in Elizabethan times to
try and create a fashion style look that perhaps could be used on a catwalk or
for a photography shoot.
