Practising my Partners Look

Terri-Anne's final look was fairly easy to do. She kept it really simple, and it was really effective in conveying the Elizabethan details.
For her eyes, she originally wanted to use "Electrum" from the Illamasqua liquid metal palette on the eyelid, and then buffing a lighter gold/yellow around and up to the brow bone to create an almost ombre effect. When we tried this in the studio however we applied the liquid metal first, but it dried really quickly and therefore became really difficult to blend. We then decided to apply the light colour first all over the lid and intensify it with the liquid metal afterwards.

Then with the eyebrows, she originally wanted to leave them bare as they are naturally fair, but we thought it could be an interesting contemporary twist to add an orange line to the brow. We experimented with putting the line on the top or the bottom of the brow and eventually decided to use orange lipstick on a mascara wand and just tip the ends of the hairs with orange. 





The rest of the look was fairly easy to create, and we swapped the lipstick colour from the pinky red colour she had chosen, to "Lady Danger" by MAC, as it has vibrant orange tones to it and would reflect the colour in the brows.
