Monographic Makeup

So in class we got set a task to use only one colour to do a Monographic makeup (Makeup photo graphed in black and white) For my chosen colour it was blue i felt like it would work well and i have a lot of different shades of blue in my kit.

Anna Told us for the colours to stand out in the photo's the makeup will have to be quite bold for the camera to pick it up.

I found the brows quite difficult to do as i used a blue lipstick to fill them in and it was very sheer and it wouldn't blend very well. So i applied a blue eyeshadow over the top to make it a slight bit darker and to make them more noticeable.

For the contour it was quite difficult to blend as i had used a foundation on the skin then went in with a blue eyeshadow on a contouring brush and it didn't really want to budge. So i decided to take a big fluffy brush and blend it with that it seemed like the eyeshadow just wanted to stick to the skin.

I think to avoid this next time i will apply a translucent powder to the skin to set the foundation then i can apply the eyeshadow on top and this will help blend together because they are both powders. It would be just like applying a trasition shade on the eye to help all the colours blend together if you are doing a smokey eye.
