As part of my Beauty Therapy course at college I have to do makeup (which I adore. It was and still is my main reason for doing the course, and my planned progression route from this course).
Well today we were given a choice of 3 themes to create a makeup look for:
- Job interview
- Beach party
-Graduation/prom
I chose to make a beach party makeup. Now, this was incredibly awkward as a look I was particularly thinking of doing required more colours than our makeup kits contain (they have little in the way of colourful eye shadows, more favouring neutral tones. And, since we aren’t allowed to use our own makeup, I was limited to these neutral tones.)
In the end I chose this fairly bright rust coloured eye shadow, and went for a bright lippy as well (very lucky that there was a range of vivid lip colours. Although on the negative side, there are little in the manner of neutrals. They really need to sort a mid-ground with the items in our kit).
And this is the result of the makeup:

WHAT I USED:
Foundation (medium), bronzer, green correcter cream, pale concealer cream, rust-coloured eyeshadow, cream-coloured eyeshadow, sheer pink lipstick, black eyeliner, brunette eyebrow pencil. All from my S-Colour Cosmetic Kit.
As you can see, my model was wearing some large false eyelashes, which were nice, but really interfered with my makeup, as she wouldn’t allow me to touch them, and when doing eye shadows some of the colour fell onto the tops of the lashes which was awkward to rectify.
But at the end of the day, in a makeup world, you’re always going to find yourself working your way around an aspect like the false lashes. And they do really suit the makeup!
I think at some point, I may try this look again, only outside of the college so that I can use whichever items of makeup I want.
(NOTE: No, I didn't make her look paler than she was. That was just the lighting being unwilling to co-operate!)
