Monochromatic
For my monochromatic look I used red as my featured colour. I thought that it related to the Elizabethan era with the rouge lips and cheeks. I wanted to make a statement with the red eyes and red lip and think they complemented each other well. I wanted the eyes to be smokey so I used the red supra colour as it blended easily. I also contoured the cheeks using the same pink kryolan eye shadow. I really liked the look and felt it gave the dramatic look I desired. When I completed the look in class I used the Illamasqua skin base however I didn't like the look of the white next to the dramatic red. For this look in particular I was inspired by the film Elizabeth. They created a red and white toned look in one of the scenes of the film.
Analogous
For my analogous look I decided to use cool toned colours. I feel it gives a defined look to the face as the colours are very eye-catching and unusual to what you would normally see on the face. I really like the blue lips against the green contour as it gives a softer look on the face as they are similar in tones. For the eyes I wanted to enlarge them so placed the lighter green shade in the corner of the eye and across the lid. To add more definition to the eye I then added in a light and dark blue. I bought the darker blue further out to add an interest to the look. I made sure to blend this thoroughly so there were no harsh lines. I really liked this analogous look as I feel the colours complement each other well and don't over power other sections of the face.
Complementary
For my complementary face chart I decided to use reds and greens. I wanted to incorporate the red because of the inspiration from the Elizabethan era. To add interest on the lips I created an ombre effect by using a deep red on the outer edges and green in the middle. For a contour I used red to define the cheeks. To create a contrast I then placed dark green as a 'blusher' on the cheeks and a lighter green as a highlight. I wanted to make the eyes quite natural so created a soft look using a selection of greens. To add definition in the eyes I lined them with red and created a small flick. In particular, I think the look goes really well with the face I used as you can see the effect the two colours have on each other. If I were to add anything to this look I would add more red around the face as a contour.
