Dewy/Matte Makeup.

For our first practical with Fenella, we focused on creating Dewy and Matte bases. These looks are staple to the catwalk, as well as beauty and editorial advertising. The looks are both so versatile and can be worn as they are, but also can just be used as a base for a look.

Health and Safety -
Always make sure that products are clean and sanitised, ready to use. This goes the same for brushes and equipment.
Make sure your hair is tied back, with no jewellery that will interfere with the model/client.
Make sure you use a cape to cover the model/client's clothing.
Sanitise hands.
Always complete a consultation beforehand.

Method:

Dewy Skin

1. Begin by prepping the face using cleanser, toner and moisturiser.
2. Apply a thin layer of Illamasqua's HydraVeil, which will prime and hydrate the skin. 
3. Follow this with a thin layer of Illamasqua's Radiance Veil on the high points of the face. 
4. Use the Kryolan Camouflage Palette to conceal any blemishes or dark circles on the face. 
5. Mix a foundation colour to match the skin tone. I used the Bobbi Brown Pro Longwear Foundation in Alabaster, with a touch of the Kryolan Foundation Palette in the lightest tone. Buff this into the skin. 
6. Set the areas of the face that you do not want to appear as oily, such as the T-Zone and sides of the face. 
7. Using your finger, tap Radiance Veil lightly onto the cheekbones, and bridge of nose, and cupids bow. 
8. Set this with the lightest highlight powder from the Glamour Glow Palette. 
9. Work into the eyebrows with an eyebrow colour and comb them.
10. Add MAC Shine to the lips and eyelids.

Matte Skin

1. Begin by prepping the skin using cleanser, toner and moisturiser. 
2. Prime the face using Illamasqua's Matte Primer.
3. Using the Camouflage Palette, conceal any blemishes or under-eye bags. 
4. Buff the correct shade of foundation into the model's skin, focusing on the centre of the face. Blend outwards.
5. Apply Translucent Powder specifically under the eyes and on eyelids so that the foundation does not crease, then powder the whole face.

I am really pleased with how the skin looks in both sets of photographs. I managed to create flawless bases, both with different textures. It is really useful to learn these skills as they are very necessary when creating many different looks. I found the creasing of the foundation and issue for the dewy skin, so I had to work very fast and ask my model not to open her eyes especially when I added the MAC Shine, as the product began to slip about. Overall, I am pleased with both of these looks.
