Face Charts - Monochromatic

Monochromatic
Using variations of the same colour can create a striking palette. but its difficult to use colour effectively without adding black, white and shades of grey for contrast. Select colours with a broad range of tints and shades to provide enough contrast.

When designing this look I was conscious about the base being white and didn't want to go for a super bright colour as I felt like black would be quite bold and complementary against the white. 

With this design I was unsure as to whether eyeliner would be needed as I didn't want to go over the top with the eyes as the lips are going to be black. 

Here is when I tried the look out in one of the practicals. From the start I was cautious of using the eyeliner as I  didn't want the eyes to end up being too dramatic as the lips were going to be very bold. When applying the white base I struggled getting consistent coverage as it went quite patchy and uneven.
To solve this problem I decided to buff it all out to try and make the application more consistent as the face looked extremely patchy. If I was to try this again i would use the IIlamasqua skin base instead of the Kryolan Super-colour  palette as it was oil based as it  wouldn't stay put.
With this look as I went for such bold lips I struggled to get it precise as I messed up the application it would have been obvious as it was against the white base which brings out the colours used on the eyes and lips.
However With this I did end up changing what products I used on the eyes as I decided that using the Illamasqua Liquid metal eye palette it would make the eyeshadow used on top more prominent and bright.
