These images are of my Sally Bowles design I've practiced on myself. I think it was a good first try and made me think of what needs to be tweeked and changed for this design. I really like the concept of what I am going for and really happy I didn't struggle trying to get the eye shapes symmetrical. I don't think the shape is fluid looking as the black line starting from corners need to have a smoother curve drawing to the outer part of the eyes. I also think it looks too thick and almosts resembles clown makeup which I definitely want to avoid as that isn't what I'm going for. The eyelashes also need to have the same thickness ratio as the bottom lashes are thicker than the top and I think they would look better if they were similar to the top lashes instead of being thicker. For the skin I wanted it to look quite contoured and so this needs to be exaggerated more so it can be shown more on camera.
If I want gold eyeshadow I am going to need to make it much thicker to be seen on camera. I can exagerate it by taking the gold right up to the eyebrow as well. I experimented with 2 different products for this - b. sunner eye shimmer which didn't stand out enough and didn't thicken up on the eye as much as I wanted it too. The gold shade from my Kryolan grease Palette worked better as I could thicken it more and it also stood out.
I took the first image thinking I was finished with the lips but then noticed the top line wasn't black enough on camera so I went over it more and it looks a lot better in the 2nd image. I think I do need to work on perfecting the outline making it smooth and the upper lip needs a bit more green on it. I also was indecisive about whether I should have a layer of shimmer or glitter on top of the lips just to complete it and reference my idea of Sally Bowles' dream to stardom in my look. I think I prefer the idea of glitter and making her lips sparkle for this design as that references my idea more clearly than using a shimmer effect.
