Other Product: Inspiration & Ideas

INSPIRATION:

Make-up & Hair Moodboard

Above is the inspiration that I have collected for my final Urban Decay inspired shoot which will be based around their False Lashes.  I have chosen to look at false lashes because I found more examples of previous lashes that Urban Decay have sold, whereas I could only find two examples of previous nail varnishes that the brand have produced.  For the look, I want the eyelashes to be the main focus in the look.  I have looked into different winged eyeliner shapes, that I think could work quite well with the eyelashes that I have made for the shoot.  For the hair I would like an up-do to keep the focus on the make-up.  I would like some volume at the front and possibly some braids around the side.

IDEAS:

Face Chart 1                                                                                      Face Chart 2

Above are two face charts that I have designed for my Urban Decay inspired Other Product Look.  I have decided to focus on Urban Decay's False Lashes for the other product, and for the make-up designs I have kept them quite simple, so as not to detract from the focus of the lashes. Below are the steps you would take to create them.

FACE CHART 1:
- Begin by applying Kryolan foundation and primer to the skin
- Contour using a darker shade of foundation and the powder around the nose creases to prevent any shine
- Darken the contour with a bronzing powder and apply Illamasqua's Ambition blusher to the cheeks
- Fill in the eyebrows using Sleek's Au Naturel eyeshadow palette
- Prep the eyelids with Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion
- Apply Nooner from Urban Decay's Naked 3 palette across the eyelids and then apply Urban Decay Ink Eyes Gel Eyeliner along the upper lash line and bring it out into an extended winged flick
- Coat the eyelashes with Rimmel London's Scandal Eyes mascara and apply MAC's Twig lipstick to the lips
- Finish by applying the false lashes

FACE CHART 2:
- Begin by applying Kryolan foundation and primer to the skin
- Contour using a darker shade of foundation and the powder around the nose creases to prevent any shine
- Darken the contour with a bronzing powder and apply Illamasqua's Ambition blusher to the cheeks
- Fill in the eyebrows using Sleek's Au Naturel eyeshadow palette
- Prep the eyelids with Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion
- Apply Nooner from Urban Decay's Naked 3 palette across the eyelids
- Coat the eyelashes with Rimmel London's Scandal Eyes mascara and apply Maybelline's Colourdrama Berry Much lip liner to the lips
- Finish by applying the false lashes

False Lashes for the photoshoot

Above are the false lashes that I have made for the final shoot.  I bought the double volume edition 40 lashes from Superdrug and decorated them at the roots with glitter and added a gem in the middle at the ends of the lashes.

Hair Chart

This is the hair chart for my Urban Decay inspired Other Product Look.  I have opted for an up-do, because I do not want to detract from the make-up or the eyelashes.  The hair design consists of the bottom half of the hair being French braided from either side to meet in the middle, and then the rest of the hair on top to be backcombed in order to create volume.
