Pixiwoo Course Day 4 - Period Make Up!

Pixiwoo Day 4 - Period Make Up! 

Today was the day in which we learnt about all the different make up looks throughout the eras, from the 1920's to present.

Nic began by doing a 1920's look on Stacey while Sam talked us through all of the different make up looks and trends and who the main inspirations were in each decade. Learning about the history of make up and what trends were in and when was so interesting and we were all sat there in awe of what we were being taught.

It was then down to us to chose an era to do a look from and i chose to do a 1960's look on my friend Becca! 

All make up in the 1960's was matte so there was no shimmer or sparkles just completely matte! 

I decided to focus most of the attention on the eyes by doing a striking gel liner shape with a matte shadow and large lashes. This was the look i found the most difficult! I found is SO hard to get both eyes the same and applying gel liner to the eye is quite hard as the eyelid tends to crease up so i found it a bit difficult to make the line smooth. Luckily Sam could see i was struggling a bit and took me into her office to try to explain a little more in depth how to correctly apply gel liner, after this i went back in full of confidence and finished off my look. I ended with a simple matte pink lip. 

Here is my finished look:

I am pretty proud of how it turned out considering how much i struggled!

Whats your favorite era?
