Every Day Makeup: September 2020 - March 2021

While I was making Norse face paints, I was also wanting to see if I could create some every-day makeup for the average person. This included blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick, and freckles.

Over the course of the next few months, I played with different basic makeups. The only makeup I didn't end up making was eyeshadow. Nothing I did looked quite right - the eyes were hard to play around. I also wasn't quite happy with the lipstick, but I didn't hate it overall.

Goals:

• Create every-day makeup

What I Learned:

• It's hard to get the right angle for eyeshadow and eyeliner, and it really all depends on the person's shape and what head they're wearing. I don't think I'll ever be 100% confident in this, though I may just need practice.

• It's hard to paint lipstick around the lips of other skins.

• I did learn how to add detail to the lips. This was the first time I tried to add definition to a tintable makeup

Notes:

• I could have just as easily made eyebrow shapes to go with the eyeliner

• I could have made a tattoo that covers just the base lips so I didn't feel like I had to overdraw the lipstick
