Photomedia: Makeup Ideas

This is a brilliant piece of art by Lara Hawker. The use of the human features painted as an animal mixed with her original features is really strikings and it's something I'd love to bring into my work.

I couldn't find the original artist for this, but I love how striking and creepy this is. I think a full face photo of this where the painted eye resembles the natural eye would look amazing.

Blue Eyes:

This was on a BuzzMakeup post. I like the simplicity of this makeup and also the photo itself. The way it's taken really focuses on the eye because it's the only part of the face that is fully shown. I think to create more emphasis on the eyes I would use a darker brow and more of a neutral lip colour.

Brown Eyes:

This Desi Perkins makeup look is one of the most beautiful I've seen for brown eyes. The lashes, warm colours and strong brows makes the eyes appear so bright and gives quite a liquidity to them. 

Green Eyes:

Again, ridiculous college internet restrictions means I can't find the original artist for this makeup. For the green eyes, I'd love to do a bit more of a wacky, avant garde makeup. This one is particularly effective because the skin, though it would have makeup on, looks very bare and natural. This completely contrasts with the bright, extravagant makeup around the eyes. I also like that there is no hair in the picture, no lip colour and the neck is bare too.
