Notice the heavy usage of red, violet, black and gold.. Give a sense of warmth, royalty and power.. Skin and face are all painted gold.

I'll post a clearer pic of the make up soon but till then, say hello to Sekmet, reborn.

Creative Color Combos part 1

2009-06-18T11:33:00.000-07:00

well, this is the first installation of my Color Coordination Creative

make up..

i am gonna introduce to you absolutely favourite element in make up..

C-O-L-O-U-R-S.. let say it together children..... COLOURS!!!!!

Colors are divided into groups:

+Primary

RED, BLUE and YELLOW

+Secondary?

GREEN, ORANGE, PURPLE

+Tertiary?

The in-between colors such as

Yellow-Green, Red-Violet, Blue-Green

and we have different types of color combinations for different purposes..

+Analogous?

Analogous color scheme uses colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel.

It is suitable for a more harmonious color combination especially to create a nice gradient for the eyeshadows.

Complementary?

The complementary color scheme is made of two colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel.

It is suitable when you want contrast and attract serious attention to the eyes.

eg: green and red

Triadic

The triadic color scheme uses three colors equally spaced around the color wheel.

It is suitable when you are doing creative make up because more colors means more time taken to blend them and actually work it well with the entire look.

Here's a color wheel to demonstrate what the fish i am talking about, no worries!

Okay, i'll show you images of what i have done back then once you digest this entry.. i'll give you a day to actually understand what i'm talking about..

The key to a good make is actually understanding your colors..

I love colors.. and coming from an Art/Design background, colors are something i play around everyday..

That also explains why i "abuse" them most of time too :p

Oh my, it's getting a lil late and i think my pillows are calling..

As always, a quote to wrap the day's entry..

“In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.”

Why bother?

2009-06-09T17:43:00.000-07:00

My interest in makeup was born when i was introduced to bands such as Murderdolls, Marilyn Manson and Slipknot.. To me, music and makeup come in a package.. That is the reason why i have a huge interest in both..

Oh yeahhh, any sane fella will not see that as make up but as face paints.. From them, i realised the ability of how make up can change a person's face and even persona.. I realised the power makeup has because i turn heads when i have it on.. Probably because i was rather bad at it initially.. hehe :p

See the transformation i am talking about, in regards to my all time favourite artist [ though his latest album, The High End of Low is terri-bleargh :( ]

VERSUS

oh hello sexy!

And one hollywood character, JLo.. By the way, i like her song "Waiting for Tonight".. heh.

Soon enough, i was on the road of self discovery on the "PLEASE DO NOT" list..

Lemme share with you some which i might have committed but you should learn from it..

BLACK lipstick is unnecessary no matter how gothic/metal you are [ i know this best because i am very involved in my local subculture scene ].. Unless your intention is to look really, really scary in a bad, unflattering way or it's HALLOWEEN.. Then go ahead baby!

Okay, and so you think the heavier the foundation, the more coverage you get and you'll have the exceptionally flawless skin models have in pictures while you are out clubbing for the night........ That's a myth, my dear.. Heavy foundation will "melt" when you perspire and just clog up pores if you do not remove them thoroughly.. go for a lighter base because when you perspire,you will have a nice glowy skin instead of a wax-figure melting look alike.. Plus, who cares about bad skin in the night.. There is not that much light in clubs anyway.. Heavy base are great for photography, not a friday night out.

relaxxx.. i am just scaring you a teeny bit :p

Blushers make you look exceptionally radiant but too much of it makes you look like you had seafood allergies or sunburn on the face.. Enough said and i do not need to show you how that looks -_-

False eyelashes are easy to apple and get carried away with.. I am a victim for sure.. If your lashes are HUGE, it will look very drag queen-ish instead of what most of you are trying to achieve, the pretty princess face.. Lashes depend on the occasion and your style.. If you are loud, oh please go ahead and wear humongous lashes.. If you are the girl-next-door, an eyelash curler and an good mascara such as Maybelline XXL would be sufficient.

I know it's not advisable but i'm stubborn on some days :)

Lastly, go for eyeshadow colors that flatter your skin tones.. Experiment and get opinions.. For myself, i do not like greens and blues because i find them a lil hard to pull off.. What suits a person might not suit you.. General guideline would be fair skin ladies should stay away from dark shades and tanned ladies should avoid whites/silver.. it is clear the reason behind the guideline is due to contrast.. contrast can be classy or plain creepy.. henceforth, experiment awayyyyy!

unless you are going Ganguro..

for one, i am not a fan of this look.. of course o_O

I shall end the entry with a beauty quote.. In fact, i shall make it a point to end every entry with a quote.. I love quotes and you must too cz i say so :)

"Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it,"

Confucius.
