Practcing Ruby's design on myself

After I tried Ruby's design for the first time on her during the lesson I was worried about a few things. First of all the false eyelashes. I used false eyelashes before but I am not particularly good at applying them. And also drawing all the veins. But I just need to practice those bits more and then it should be fine. Otherwise I really like her design and the rest shouldn't be a problem.

You need:
  • Kryolan supercolor in white
  • Kryolan ultrafoundation palette
  • Kryolan gold aquacolor
  • Illamasqua translucent powder
  • Ruby's MAC moisturizer and fixing spray
  • orange blusher which Ruby will bring in
  • false eyelashes
  • eyelash adhesive
  • Illamasqua natural eye palette
  • MAC lip mix in red and blue, matt lip mix medium
  • Purple lip liner which Ruby will bring in
  • for the eyebrows I will use my Hello Kitty brown eye shadow palette
  • Foundation brush
  • 'White Pepper' and 'Caraway' from the Kryolan Viva Brilliant Medley Matt palette
  • Angled brush
  • round brush
  • powder brush
  • smaller roundish brush
  • a very thin brush for the veins
  • Illamasqua skin base
  • baby buds
->start with applying the MAC moisturizer and fixing spray
->mix the Kryolan white supercolor with 'Alabaster' from the Kryolan ultrafoundation palette to get a very pale base but not too white
->make sure to buff it well to make the base look very smooth and even
->powder
->contour the cheekbones with a mixture of 'White Pepper' and 'Caraway' from the Kryolan Viva Brilliant Medley Matt palette
->use orange blusher from Ruby's private Kryolan blusher palette and apply it in a roundish movement->afterwards soften it through buffing it out with the Illamasqua transluecent powder
->moving on to the eyebrows-> fill in the eyebrows with a lighter/medium brown from my Hello Kitty brown eye shadow palette ->make them look a little bit longer
->for the eyes mix the colors 'Vintage', 'Obsidian' and 'Wolf' from the Illamasqua palette together and apply it in the crease going down and wing liked out->blend it a lot to get it very soft
->apply the same eye shadow mixture under the eyes as well
-> you can go over again with the eye shadow if you want the color to be more intense, but remember to blend again to keep the edges soft
-> apply false eyelashes and then apply another layer of mascara to join the eyelashes
->take a very thin brush and start drawing the veins in gold using Kryolan aquacolor
->do random wiggly lines all around the face->when doing the chin/neck area go down the neck with the veins as well
->as well as in the hairline for a tiny bit to make it look more natural
->the veins don't have to be symmetrical
->lastly lips: use the matt MAC lip mix medium and mix it with the red and blue MAC lip mix
->first draw the outlines with a purple kip liner and then fill them in, in a kind of heart shape->take a baby bud and blend it out to get a kind of berry stained look->use some Illamasqua skin base and work it into the blending part as well
->afterwards go back to the golden auqacolor and apply some over the cupid's bow and on the center of the lower lip->blend it out a bit





NOTES ON MAKEUP DESIGN:
  • I think I did the eyes, lips and base very well here
  • especially like the eye shadow->nicely blended
  • I definitely have to practice applying the false eyelashes
  • also for the veins I have to use a really thin brush which I didn't do here
Otherwise I really enjoyed practicing Ruby's design. And if I keep practicing I won't have any time problems during the assessment.
