At this stage, I was undecided on the theme of my project so I decided to experiment with layering various colouring on the body using different techniques. I found this picture particularly inspiring and enjoy the contrast between the black and bright colours.

Tools & Materials: Nivea cleanser, various brushes, black/red/white/blue/neon pink aqua colours, Kryolan yellow and green foundation, Illamasqua intense lipgloss in red and green, Inglot white eyeshadow powder.	Model prior to make-up application.
Brush translucent powder over to set.
Technique 1: Splatter on colour using a chip brush	Technique 2: paint large brush strokes onto the face to define feature including, eyes, nose and mouth.
Technique 3: Mix the green and yellow Kryolan foundation with water to create a runny mixture and dribble it down the model face onto the neck.	Technique 4: Add the green and red lip gloss over various areas of the face add a shiny texture.
Technique 5: Use the white Inglot eyeshadow powder and highlight features of the face, neck and collar bone.

WHAT WENT WELL AND HOW DID I ACHIEVE THIS?

I enjoy the contrast between the black and the bright colours. In effect, the black creates a blank canvas for the colour to be added too.
Powdering the black aqua colour reduced any shine allowing it to photograph well.
I successfully explored a variety of techniques - my favourite was the splattering technique because it was quick and effective. I also liked creating brush strokes to define the models features, as well as the highlighting technique as it made the make-up look more 3-dimensional.

WHAT DIDN'T GO WELL AND HOW DID I OVERCOME THIS/WHAT DO I NEED TO CONSIDER FOR NEXT TIME?

If I were to do this again, I would have lined the inner waterline so that the eyes do not look as harsh on camera.
I would have also carried the black further down onto the body as it was visible on camera. However, this is something I can cover up in Photoshop.
The look would of looked more professional if I incorporated a hairstyling, for example a large plait going across the front the face.
