Colour Theory
For homework our teacher asked us to learn our colour theory. This is very important in make-up as you need to know what colours will counteract each other. you work this out by taking colours from the opposite sides of the colour wheel. For example a peach toned concealer would counteract any blue tones under the eyes as orange is opposite blue on the colour wheel.
This theory can also be applied to someone's eye colour for example my eyes are a yellow green so a purple or cranberry tone would bring out the colour of my eyes.

Face Chart
Today's lesson we looked at face charts.
I learnt that you must use powder and aqua colour on face charts. Cream products can smudge and tend to leave an oily residue.
The face chart I completed portrays the look I am going to re-create for my assessment.

YSL Black Opium Campaign
A campaign I have chosen to look at is the YSL Black Opium perfume campaign. This look is very sultry and dark.
Two things I really like about the look is that the hair has been left quite natural and messy. I also like how the focus of the eye make-up is under the eye rather than on the lid. I also like the full brows.
If I were to recreate this look I would start by using a full coverage foundation similar to Mac's studio fix however I would still want to keep the dewy look the skin has in the campaign so therefore I would mix a highlighter similar to Benefit's 'girl meets pearl' into my foundation. For blush I would use a brownish plum tone and apply this just to the outside of the cheeks. I would then fill in the brows using the derma colour pallet to give the full brows displayed in the campaign. I would then apply a shimmery taupe colour to the eyelid for this I would use the colour suspect from the urban decay naked 2 pallet.
I can see a clear a clear link to catwalk looks on fashion weeks. During Paris haute couture fashion week for Spring/Summer 2014 Chanel had models sporting a winged liner with silver glitter placed under the eye. This look was also featured in Nicki Minaj's campaign for Mac. I can also see a link to the Burberry look I have researched in that they both feature a strong colour on the eyes and both have eye-shadow placed under the eyes.I would then line the top lash line with a liquid liner. I would probably use my favourite which is the l'oreal super liner perfect slim. I would then line the waterline and tightline right into the corner of the eyes using a jet black pencil liner like Rimmel's scandal eyes eye liner. For the black under the eyes I would start by lining just under the eye with a pencil then using a brush to blend it downward with a pencil brush. If I felt it needed intensifying I would then add a matte black eyeshadow like Urban Decay's Blackout from the naked 2 pallet to this and blend again. To recreate the lips in this look I would use a very light coat of Mac's 'please me' lipstick which is a matte dusky pink shade.

Miss Dior Campaign
The next campaign I looked at was the Miss Doir perfume campign featuring Nathalie Portman this look contrasts massively to YSL campaign in that it features a very simplistic natural pretty make-up.Of the two campaigns this is the look I favour.
If I were to recreate this look I would use a light coverage foundation with a satin finish as the skin does not look very dewy, A product that would work well for this would be the Estee Lauder double work light. If I were to use any eye shadows I would use matte shadows in nudes tones, using a colour similar to my models natural skin tone on the eyelid and a slightly darker colour in the socket line. I may also use a slightly paler colour on the brow bone and inner corner.I would use a fluffy brush to blend these really well in order to try and achieve a look of no eye-shadow. I does look as if Natalie has some eye-liner on her top lash line. To me this doesn't look as solid as a liquid liner it also has a matte finish which leads me to believe either a gel liner or black eye-shadow has been used. If I were creating this liner I would use the Inglot gel liner. Nathalie's lashes don't look to have lots of mascara on and the lashes look lengthened rather than volumised for this reason I would apply 1 or 2 coats of a lengthening mascara similar to l'oreal's telescopic mascara. For the blush I would choose a matte pale pink blusher like Benefit's Dandelion.The lips in this campaign look to be very natural and therefore I would either leave them natural and just use a tiny bit of lip balm. If I were to use a colour I would select a nude to suit my models skin tone similar to Mac's shy girl.
I can see that this has been heavily influenced by fashion as clean fresh looking skin has all over the catwalks in recent years.

Kevyn Aucoin
An artist who inspires me is Kevyn Aucoin (14th Febuary 1962- 7th May 2002)
Aucoin was born and grew up in Louisiana to parents Isidore Adrian Aucoin and Thelma Suzanne Melancon, who adopted him as an infant. He had three siblings. Sisters Carla and Kim who he would frequently do make-up for growing up and a brother Keith.
Being male and interested in make-up caused hard ship for Aucoin growing up in the south of america during the 1970's. During highschool bullying became so bad that Aucoin eventually left school prior to graduation.
In 1982 after enrolling in beauty school Aucoin moved from Lafayette ,where women were uncomfortable with a man doing their make-up, to Baton Rouge in the hopes of starting a career in make-up. However prejudice was still very much alive in Baton Rouge and after being assaulted by a security guard and fearing for his life Aucoin moved again to New York.
Aucoin's career went from strenghth to strenghth while living in New York. After working on test models unpaid to build his portfolio he was discovered by vougue. Over the next year and a half Aucoin worked daily with vougue photographer Steve Meisel.
in 1984 Revlon then collaborated with Aucoin to create their 'Nakeds' line. The first line based purley on skintones. This line was groundbreaking and an opposition to other cosmetics available at the time. Prior to this there were make-up lines for white women and others for black women. Aucoin work to design foundations for all skin tones ans created foundations with a yellow undertone whereas before undertones had always been pink and peach.
A year before his death in 2001 Aucoin launched his own brand 'Kevyn Aucoin Beauty'. This line contains products that use 'his motto that it was far more important to help a woman feel beautiful no matter what, and that make-up was just his tool for helping her discover herself'.
He has also written two bestselling books 'making faces' and 'face forward'.
Kevyn Aucoin was one of the most sought after make-up artists during his time often being booked for months in advanced and being able to request up to $6000 per day. His influence is still prevalent in the fashion industry today. He also inpires the make-up artists of today Pat McGrath and Charlotte Tilbury.
