Final Assessment - Steps of completing Mihaela's final design

Designer and model: Mihaela Solomei and makeup artist: Hoi Io Leong

On below, I have listed the equipments that are being used and also the steps to create my partner's final design look.

 

Equipments:

• Cleanser, toner, moisturizer
• An apron
• Cotton pads
• Cotton buds
• Water
• Pritt stick
• Metal spatula
• Steel palette
• Loose powder
• A puff
• White base
• A foundation brush
• Powder brushes
• Eye shadow brushes
• Angle brushes
• Concealer palette
• Eye shadow palette
• Lip palette
• Supra color palette
• Pearls
• Blush palette

Step 1: Setting up the area and get all the products ready. Ask model if she has any allergies and was she wearing contact lenses. Told the model that you are going to wash your hands before getting started. Put the apron on the model. Clip the model’s hair away from the face as not to make her hair greasy and then cleanse tone and moisturize the model’s face before applying makeup. Make sure the eyebrows are clean and dry. You can apply the toner before getting started to make sure the eyebrows are clean.

2: Use the metal spatula to scrape out some glue. Remember to apply quickly on the brows as the glue will dry quickly. Apply the glue using the metal spatula so the glue will not stick on your fingers.

3: Apply the glue on the eyebrows in opposite directions to the hair growth first and then directions to the hair growth. This will make sure all the areas on the brows are cover with glue and smooth the hairs down (making the brows go flat and smooth). Press hardly on the eyebrows with your finger following the directions of the hair growth, to make the hairs are as flat as possible. Use the cotton bud and wet it with water to remove excess glue around the eyebrows. Repeat applying the glue and press the eyebrows hardly until the hairs are as flat and as smooth as you want it to be. After completed one side of the eyebrow, do the other side as well.

 

4: Apply primer on the whole face and when the glue is a little bit tacky, put the colour D1 from the concealer palette to block the colours on the eyebrows. 

5: Apply white base with foundation brush to the eyebrows, face, neck and ears. Use a powder brush to blend the white base nicely. Apply loose powder and press onto the whole face, neck and ears with a puff.

6. Apply contouring to the face (the colour Sage Blossom from the Kryolan- Viva brilliant color medley matt) on the forehead and under the cheekbones to form a heart shape.

 

7: Use the Chive Blossom from the Kryolan – Viva Color Medley Matt shadow and apply it onto the forehead underneath the blue contouring to smooth the lines and texture and blend the two colours together.

 

8: Apply pink blusher (Kryolan R21) on the apples of the cheeks and blend it with the blue contouring.

9. Apply the black eyeliner on the lid and extend the lines above the eyebrows (4 lines on each eye).

 

10: Use the duo eyelash adhesive glue and apply the pearls on the black eyeliner flick (Put the big pearls on the end of the eyeliner flicks).

 

11: Put three medium pearls underneath each eye and then put two small pearls under the medium pearls on each eye and after that, put one pearl under the two small pearls on each eye (forming an upside down triangle shape).

 

12: Mix the colour LCP653 and LC001 lip colour from the Kryolan Lip Rouge Mini palette and apply it onto the lips with an angle brush.

Practice Mihaela's final design on myself

I have practiced Mihaela's final design on myself at home so to remember more the steps and the techniques used to complete the final look.

• Blush palette
• Supracolor palette
• Pearls

the concealer palette first before applying powder onto the brows. After that I've applied powder and press it with a puff on top of the brows.

5: Apply white base with foundation brush to the eyebrows, face, neck and ears. Use a powder brush to blend the white base nicely. Apply loose powder onto the whole face, neck and ears.

12: Mix the colour LCP653 and LC001 lip colour from the Kryolan Lip Rouge Mini palette and apply it onto the lips with an angle brush.

Finish

This practice helps me to remember more the steps of how to complete my partner's design so I can do the makeup look faster. I'm impressed about the black eyeliner flicks that I've drawn and I like how they look more balance. For this practice, I have tried to use the colour D 1 from the concealer palette to cover the colour on the brows first before applying the white base. But I shouldn't applied the powder using the puff before applying the white base because as you can see on the photos above, you can see the white dots and the white edges on the brows. During the final assessment, I will use the concealer D1 colour to block the colour on the eyebrows but I will not put powder after that. Instead I will put the white base first and then powder it.

• Loose powder

• Angle brushes
• Eye shadow palette

I have done another practice on my partner and on above are the photos that I've taken after I have done the makeup look. This time, I think I am more confident to draw the eyeliner flick and they look more balance than the previous practice. My partner has changed her idea again and she has decided to use a light pink colour on her lips which is created by mixing the colour LCP653 and LC001from the Kryolan lip palette. In order to improve, I will need to do the makeup look faster so to get it done in time. Also, I should do a thicker white base as you can see on the photo, the white base on the nose area come off after I've done the whole makeup look.

12: Mix the colour LC009 with the red cream blush colour together and apply it on the lips by using an angle brush.

 

Thoughts about the lesson: My partner has changed her idea of using the red cream blush mix with the colour LC009 on the lip palette instead of using the red lipstick LC009 on the lip palette. In order to improve next time, I should apply another layer of white base on the whole face and blend it with powder brush again to give a nice finish and good coverage on the face. Also, I should draw the eyeliner near the nose shorter and need to practice more on drawing the eyeliner flicks more balance.

Before

 
Thoughts about the lesson: My partner has changed her idea back to her original design and decided to apply the pink blush beside the pearls rather than applying it under the pearls. Also, she has asked me to put pink blush on the forehead blending with the blue colour and don't apply the pink blush in the middle of the forehead, leaving white so you can see the blue colour creates a heart shape ( shown on the photos from above). In order to improve next time, I should draw the eyeliner flick more accurately as you can see on the photo, the first eyeliner flick on the left, I have drawn it wrong and it appears two lines which I cant cover it back as I have powder the whole face before drawing the eyeliner flicks. Also, I should blend the face with the powder brush more so to give a nicer finish on the face. This time, I have used the red colour on the concealer palette to cover the colour on the brows first before applying the white base. I found it very difficult to cover the red colour after applying the white base and it makes the area go pink in colour, so I have decided not to use the red concealer next time.
