Aesthetics Second and Third Face-ups

Feb 21, 2016

    1. The lower eyelashes and the eyebrows look amazing. The lashes on the top look a bit uneven, almost chunky. If they weren't such a stark black, maybe they'd blend better? Maybe a dark or medium brown instead? It'd make any uneven edges look more even, too. Wonderful result in the end, though!
       
    2. I agree with above and would also say more blushing, particularly around the eyes with natural tones, would help give it more depth :)
       
    3. Thank you! The black on the top is supposed to be eyeliner and I know it's not that good, it's my biggest problem right now. I also have trouble having pastels become vibrant :atremblin
       
    4. For eyeliner, I usually get a watercolour pencil and rub the side of the nib along the edge of the eyelid, it gives you more control. Then you can go over that carefully with paint or do the same again with a q-tip and pastels.

      How many layers of sealant did you use? The more you have, the better the colours will stick!
       
    5. Oh thats a neat idea!! I spray one time before, a second time after pastels, and a third, to finish it off. I guess that's not enough! I was also thinking of maybe using a brush marker for the eyeliner? But I'm not sure how that will look or work.
       
    6. Yeah I spray three times before I do anything and about four or five times while working, I used probably half a can of sealant doing two faceups the other day. So I'd say that giving it a few more coats will help you instantly ^^ I haven't used a brush marker before but just make sure it's resin-safe before you try it! It might give you more control.
       
    7. Thank you, I'll use more sealant next time!
