Step By Step for Eyes:

1. Firstly start by applying an eyeshadow primer as this will help to intensify the eyeshadows and will prevent the eye makeup from creasing.
2. Once the primer has been applied start by using a matt green shadow in the crease to act as a transition colour - this will help the other eyeshadows to blend better.
3. After the transition colour has been applied. Apply a green/blue shimmer eye shadow at the inner part of the lid - this will bring light to the eye.
4. Using a darker shade of green and using a small blending brush begin blending this into the crease follow this will a little black eyeshadow - this will help to make it look smokey.
5. With a clean fluffy brush blend everything together until it looks seamless. 
6. (Optional) Apply a black gel eyeliner to the upper lash line.
7. Finish off with a couple of generous coats of black mascara - make sure to use a disposable wand.

Step By Step for Lips:

1. (Optional) Apply and thin layer of a lip primer as this will help to prevent the lipstick from feathering/bleeding.
2. To create a crisp line start by lining the models lips as this again will help to prevent bleeding and also will give a nice base for the lipstick - Make sure to sharpen the lip pencil as this will help with the application process.
3. Using a lip brush apply the lipstick.
4. To clean up any dodgy lines use a bit of concealer on a concealer brush to fix any mistakes.

Personal Analysis 

I really enjoyed creating this look as I personally love applying eyeshadow and creating new looks. I think I did a good job with the eyeshadow as the eyeshadow was well blended and had a gradient. One thing I think I need to improve on is using lipliner because looking at the images again I think I could have been slightly neater.

Contemporary Victorian Hairstyle  (Inspired by American Horror Story)

Equipment Needed: 

• Tail Comb
• Paddle Brush
• Bobby Pins
• Curling tongs

Step By Step:

1. Create a side parting using a tail comb make sure there is a little lift at the roots.
2. Beginning at the front, take two one inch sections on the side of the parting, on the other side take three one inch sections and curl them away from the parting. Each sections needs to be the width of the curling tong.
3. Secure each curl with a bobby pin, as this will help to set the curl and will make it last longer.
4. Now curl the section behind the front curls and curl horizontally downwards.
5. Then take a section below that of about t six inches wide, split it into two, and curl both section
6. Repeat the last step below this section created above

8. Curl the rest of the hair at the sides in sections, going downwards, and secure them all with hair grips. These curls are curled towards the face

Up Do - Inspired by Moira O'Hara (Maid)

1. Once all the hair has been curled and has been pinned to cool down, remove the bobby pins at the top of the head.
2. Using a paddle lightly brush through the curls
3. Begin by twisting the hair upwards until it falls perfectly.
4. Use bobby pins to hold the wave - make sure to use them discreetly. 
5. Use a tail comb to lift the hair to add my body and volume.
6. Take all the bobby pins out from the rest of the curls.
7. Take the hair grips out of the curls at the front of the hair and pull the curls out individually to them push them back into the hair to create a wave against the head, and then pin them in place with hair grips.
8. Layer the curls on top of each other to give more body.

Down-do

1. Use a paddle brush to brush out the curls, using a over and under motion to get big, smooth curls to form. 
2. Push the front sections, on both sides of the parting, back so that the hair goes back and then curls back on itself, giving a very glamorous look. 
3. Play around with how the hair falls until you get it how you want it, e.g sweep the top sections down and forwards, and help clump sections together that curl the same direction. 
4. Back comb the roots if any extra volume is desired. 
5. Add a bit of wax or shine spray to your fingers and smooth it over the ends to give a more polished finish.

Personal Analysis

I found this a real challenge however I really enjoyed learning how to create these looks. For me it definitely took quite a bit of time as I found it difficult and I did have some problems. But overall I'm really happy with the turn out and I will be definitely trying some of these looks on myself.
