Step by step of how to achieve my look, given to my mua.

Contemporary Elizabethan Makeup.
1.       Apply matte primer all over face using foundation brush
2.       Apply white Illamasqua white skin base foundation all over the face, extending down the neck and also on the ears using foundation brush. Buff into skin using stipling brush. Apply foundation with sponge to gain more coverage
3.       Using a Q tip and some micellar water, using ‘scratch’ like movements remove certain areas of the makeup, these areas are above the cheekbone  on the right side of the models face, below the cheekbone, down the side of the nose, cupids bow and an area of the forehead.
4.       Using the corner of a powder puff apply some clear powder on the eyelid and underneath the eye to stop the foundation from creasing and allowing the makeup to sit evenly on top.
5.       Using the large pencil brush draw an outline using the black supercolour drawing along the cheekbone, working up towards the forehead, on the top eyelid and over half the eyebrow.
6.       Using a disposable mascara wand spread the product that is already on the face pulling towards the centre of the face and the hairline, avoiding area that is just skin.
7.       Over the top of the supercolour, take the mascara wand and using black lipmix apply to certain areas to create a wet look and add texture.
8.       Apply black to the other side of the face, avoiding the eye area, and spread product across face working towards the centre using the mascara wand and pulling inwards.
9.       Apply red to both under eyes using the large pencil brush, making sure not to go too far down and onto the nose and onto the temples of the face, using the dark red supercolour, and extending outwards using a clean mascara wand.
10.   Then using the same brush pat some red lipmix on the outer edges of the red previously applied and using a mascara wand brush out making sure to be able to see clear lines in the makeup.
11.   Then using the white sponge up from earlier, pat foundation onto the lip to conceal the whole lip making a blank canvas.
12.   Then taking the large pencil brush and the red supercolour and take it acrros half the lip pulling the product upward and slightly along the cupids bow using an angled brush. Using a clean mascara wand again, brush upwards towards the nose and pull slightly down the chin.
13.   Then using the angled brush and the black supercolour, outline the inside of the lip, but only a thin line as it will print onto the top and bottom, extend this line outwards towards the cheek using the same brush and smudge slighty with mascara wand.
14.   Taking the white supercolour and a clean mascara wand, colour eyebrows in and also top and bottom lashes so that they are completely white. Also take remaining white and just take across white areas that are already on the face, so as to create a starker white.
15.   Take out more of the white using a q tip and micellar water make prominate lines extending in all directions, just to make the flesh colours more visible and create sharper more visible lines.
16.   Take a clean brush and draw a line on the jaw line measuring from where one eyes is to another, so as the line does not go all the way around the jaw line. Then with what is there, diffuse the line using a clean mascara wand and pull the black down the neck, starting at the middle, this being the longest point and then graduated to the sides.

17.   Lastly take whatever black is left on the brush and softly blend on the outside of the ears.
