Aesthetics Face up 3

    1. Previously on face up with Avis Cantus

      I did it again today and it is better this time. Not perfect but much better. Layering the sealant is helping with the color. Using watercolor paint for the eyeliner, lashes and eyebrows is kind of working. I think before painting, I'll "sketch" it our with pastel so it'll be easier... maybe. Eye crease is hard. Nothing more to say about the eye crease. I'm still figuring out the eyeshadow situation but I'm more concerned about getting the basic skills down. Any advice/comments will be much appreciated.

      (also don't mind the smudging on one eye. That was me fixing eye crease multiple times)

      what kind of watercolors are you using? if you're not using watercolor pencils, I highly recommend them! specially for the eyebrows and eyelashes :whee:

    4. Thank you!

      Winsor and Newton Watercolors. And I tried using pencils. Someone else recommended me using watercolor paint instead.

    5. well there's no correct way to do it! just keep doing the method you find easiest and most enjoyable :D I'm still also trying to find the best way to do a face-up myself :3
      here's a video to show how I personally use the colored pencils

    7. Great job! Have you tried using something like Modge Podge glossy around the eyes and on the lips? That gives them that shiny look that pro face-ups have.

    8. I want to get some gloss but I thought I'll save it for when I'm confident with everything else.

    9. That makes perfect sense, if you have a JoAnn's or Michaels near you you can use coupons on it so it won't be as expensive
