Initial Practice Of My Make-up Design (Miss Havisham)

Products used:

  •  Apply a light foundation all over the face (I am not using any concealer because I do not want the skin to be airbrushed and perfect - I am happy for natural blemishes to appear)


  •  Using a fine brush, apply supracolor to create wrinkles and creases on the face, especially on the forehead


  •  Using white supracolor, highlight around these areas
  • Blend this all out, to make it look as realistic as possible

  •  Create a fairly soft/natural smokey eye, which is slightly darker in the outer corner
  • Apply quite a light layer of mascara to the top and bottom lashes



  •  Apply a fairly light blusher to the cheeks
  • Using a red blusher, apply this to the lips to create a quite natural rouge tint 





Overall, I was fairly happy with this for a first attempt, but I was not too happy about the wrinkles and ageing technique I had used. I think the colour was slightly too orange, and the lines were slightly too thick, and it just did not look as realistic as I wanted. Also, I think I tried to age Miss Havisham too much - she is not supposed to look extremely old, therefore I will pull the reins back slightly on how many wrinkles she has and how prominent they are.

I will aim to improve this in my next practices, but I am happy with how the 'bridal' make-up turned out.
