Soap and Facial Hair Part 1

Soaped out eyebrows with regular unscented bar soap
to make the hairs lay flat on the face.

White primer to go under the foundation. I then used a coat
of my highlight because of the dark pigmentation of my
eyebrows to make sure my foundation would cover.

Slightly terrifying without eyebrows and unblended
highlight and shadow.

A face only a mother would love.

Mild unibrow and early Fu Man Chew but slightly
successful in an Asian inspired look.

What's Life Without A Few Bumps and Bruises

First Stages of Bruising:
Mixed purples and reds to show
where the blood vessels have ruptured.

Slight inflammation on the eyelid.

Finished Smack across the face

Look at us happy campers, brow-beaten and loving it!

Added in yellow on the edges and
slight highlight under the eyebrow

Bruising continues slightly across the
left side of the face back to the ear.

Mixing palates for the bruise colors.

Experiments in Foundation Mixes

Testing out the color match to
the natural color of your skin.

It leaves only a small testing
area when you are a werewolf.

Three test spots on my face.

The numbers are labels for the
different shades of makeup used.

These are the mixes for the different foundations and what I finally decided on. Same as last year with some alterations to my highlight and shadow.

A Time Goes By...Willem Dafoe

We all get older and sometimes it's necessary to make that happen a little faster. For creating the illusion of altered age I combined hard lines with a brown eyeliner pencil and shading with small brush strokes of my shadow. I like the end result because it was not too muddy but it was also definitive enough to show myself looking older in either a medium house or an intimate setting. I had difficulty making my tracing paper rendering of my face with age drawn in translate onto my face and not look overly harsh. So I tried adding more highlight to the areas around where I wanted the shadows to be more defined. This worked especially well in my forehead and overall I was pleased with the result. There are also a few pictures where the lazy eye phenomenon appears again.

Altered Form

As we did weight and thinness on our face I notices that I had an easier time with the skinny side than I did with the heavier side. I really liked how the two contrasted each other by being on my face at the same time. Something interesting I noticed after looking at the pictures is that it appears I have the illusion of a lazy eye.

Clown Face Half and Whole

Start of Week Five

I am not very good at keeping up with blogs or daily journals so this whole thing is a bit new for me. I have pictures coming later today of the clowns, and the pre-makeup work we've done so far.
