White base

White Base 

Here to experiment with creating a white base for the makeup for the elizabethan era we first tried out the white in the Kryolan super colour which went on really smooth and was very pigmented. This wasn't very hard to remove from the face either which was a positive and also meant that the product wouldn't be too harsh on the models skin as if the product was hard to remove the skin would have to be worked on a lot which could have a negative effect on the skin. This product settled quite nicely on the skin and was very smooth on the skin will quite full coverage.

As this product was proved affective I will consider using it when designing an Elizabethan look. This product looks really smooth and nice on the skin so will create a nice base for the makeup I apply.

Here we experimented with the Kryolan aquacolour white which didn't go on as nice as the oil based one and wasn't very pigmented either. The application was very streaky and uneven which wasn't the look we was going for. If i was to use this product again it would be for body painting or something that requires less of it so that it doesn't go patchy. This product had very little coverage and didn't look very nice on the skin.

When I design my Elizabethan look this product will not be used to create the base as it doesn't work well and is very difficult to get off of the skin which would cause irritation to it.

The last product we used was the Illamasqua skin base which went on really smooth and was very opaque on the skin which is helpful for when we create our Elizabethan looks as we need something we can layer onto the skin that wont stay tacky as we want the model to be as comfortable as possible.  This product has very full coverage on the skin and was very soft on the skin.

However when attempting to remove this product it took a while as product sets and is quite drying on the skin which could have a negative impact on the skin later on as if the face is pulled around and exposed to a number of different products it can irritate or dry the skin out.
