• Kryolan Glamour Glow Palette
• Benefit Brow Zing (Medium)

• Kryolan Transparent Blood (dark)

Step by Step:

 1. First, I prepared the skin using cleansing, toning and moisturising. I then applied Benefit's 'Porefessional' primer to help reduce the appearance of fine lines in the make-up.

 2. I then applied the base, which I firstly used Kryolan's Ultra foundation and conealer from the concealer palette. I blended this in well with a kabuki brush before setting it with Illamasqua's Translucent Powder to prevent the fine lines from being visible. I then warmed up the skin tone and contoured the face using bronzer, highlighter and blush from the Kryolan Glamour Glow Palette.

 3. I filled in and shaped the eyebrows using Benefit's 'Brow Zing' and an angled brush.

 4. I created a soft smokey eye using black, dark brown, light brown and white shades from the Mac 'Cool Neautral' palette.

 5. I then applied Kryolan's Creme Liner in Ebony and Benefit's 'Roller Lash' Mascara on the lashes.

 6. I then applied a orangey-red lipstick to the lips (Kryolan's Lip Palette) as I felt this particular shade of red complimented my model's skin tone.

 7.  I curled the hair all over, alternating in direction. using a curling wand which I loosely teased out with my fingers and hairsprayed.

 8. I then moved on to the cut hand, which I firstly applied and blended the edges of Cinewax and cut down the middle with a spatula.

 9. I then applied red greasepaint around the cut with a soft brush for a light application. I then used a small refined brush to add red inside the cut.

 10. I then applied a small amount of black greasepaint inside the cut with a small refined brush and then used to same brush to add dark transparent blood inside the cut.

Health and Safety:

• Decant all product on to a palette before use.
• Make sure all electrical equipment is PAT tested.
• Use spray products such as hairspray in a well ventilated room.
• Use disposable wands when applying mascara.

Evaluation of practice:

Overall I am very happy with the outcome of this practice. The one thing I would change about the overall look is that I would concentrate more on an even application of the eyeshadow above the eyelid so that the colour is more consistent. The thing I am happiest with the most is the cut on the hand, although like the eyeshadow, I would like the colour application to be slightly more consistent/smooth.
