Tuesday was a beauty exam, with Cora as my model. I did very colorful eyes, with pink, purple, yellow and green, with a very light cream shimmery highlight. I got my eye makeup inspiration from a picture in the Sephora magazine a few years back titled Mermaid makeup. I used a light pink blush on the hollow of her cheeks and applied a shimmery silvery highlight on the apples of her cheeks. With light pink lips and flowy curls in her hair, I topped off her look off with fake lashes that had clear-colored crystals on them.
For my fantasy airbrush exam, I turned Natasha into Artemis. She had this beautiful goddess inspired dress in a silvery mauve, so I started with a a silver base to cover her whole exposed skin, then I airbrushed teal and green highlights and shading on her face. I used purple shimmery pigment for her eyebrows, and a darker purple for her lips. I used a purple acrylic to paint on her eyeliner with the swirls and put long fake lashes that had glitter on them as well. I put swarovski crystals in the shape of a moon around the side of her face, and applied some dots to emphasize the shape of the moon using white acrylic paint and a toothpick.
For her neck, shoulder, arm and back, I used stencils to airbrush the moon and stars, with a combination of negative and positive stencil images. Then I used a paintbrush to paint the swirls and starburst patterns, then I applied a ton of swarovski crystals on her skin to emphasize the stars.
I had gone to the dollar store the day before to prepare my props. I got a bow and arrow and airbrushed it silver. I also got a bunch of feathers. So for her hair, I stuck a bunch of teal and purple feathers in and sprayed some glitter hairspray all over her head.
Next up will be the full body airbrush exam. That is gonna be awesome! I have lots of ideas already, just finalizing the details.
