TUTORIAL; DEBBIE HARRY

I love Blondie so I did this look based on Debbie Harry's make-up on the 'Rockbird' album cover.

1. Do your base as normal with your foundation, conceal redness and spots then powder where you need it. Make sure to blend down the neck to avoid leaving foundation lines.



2. Fill your eyebrows in thick and heavy then brush through them to make the look softer.


3. Make them more pronounced by going around the edges of your eyebrow with a precision brush and concealer.


4. Smudge a black gel or Kohl liner over the eye lid in a winged shape, leaving the first portion of the eyelid free of any colour. Now smudge some along the bottom lash line also leaving the inner corner free.


5. Use a warm brown colour over the outer corner and blend with a fluffy brush into the crease.



6. Blend the same warm brown colour into the lower lash line all the way along to the inner corner.


7. On the inner corner of the eyelid add a pale bronze or silver and blend into the black.


8. Highlight the brow bone with a pale shimmery colour eye shadow.


9. Line the waterline with a Kohl or gel liner, then along the upper lash line blending it into the eye shadow.


10. Heavily contour the cheeks, jaw, forehead and bottom lip with bronzer.


11. First put on lip balm and then line the lips with a dark nude or brown lip liner, then fill them in.


12. Blot the liner onto a tissue.


















13. Blend concealer into the lip liner from the inside of the lip towards the outside.







 





14. Cover the lip in a clear gloss to add shine.


15. Finally add mascara and some more powder if you need it.




















If you would like to go extreme 70's you can add bright pink blush to the cheek bones and glue on some false lashes.

COLLEGE EXPERIENCE!!

When starting West College Scotland it seemed huge and with so many people in it. I expected to learn how to do theatrical make-up and Special effects make-up and these were the things I looked forward to the most especially using liquid latex and wigs which I have used here;




The most interesting thing I have learned to do so far could possibly be working with wax and all the different types of bloods;


but the bruising comes in a close second;


I thinks it's quite obvious by now that my idol is Ve Neill. She worked on loads of films and has won loads of awards but my other favourite make-up artist is Beau Nelson. He does fantastic beauty make-up and works on people such as Marcia Cross, Amanda Bynes and Kristen Stewart (who just happens to be my favourite actress);


I want to be a make-up artist because I just love make-up. Although I do love beauty and fashion make-up, I think that special effects make-up is definitely my calling.
