High Fashion/ Avante Garde Make up

 High Fashion is my  favourite area in make up. It allows you to get really creative taking it to the next step though this is one area that some people can go wrong. They often confuse fantasy with it. You have to remember that yes it is out there but  I would never put feathery eyelashes or jewels in my  looks. It can make the look  less effective . Here is an example of one of my high fashion shoots  that I created and also took the photos and chose the outfit.  Hope you enjoy it . I will list below the steps that  I took to create it.

Firstly I  applied a natural base and then applied a bit of illuminator to give a natural glow to her skin . Following that I used a translucent powder to matte down her skin to avoid too much shine , I then contoured her face giving her strong cheek bones using bronzer and then used a pinky blush to give her a warm natural glow.

For the eyes I firstly used  a gold and orange to fill in the socket and the lid, using the gold on the lid and orange in the socket I blended it well to create a smooth effect. Then came he most important part of the look the eyeliner. I used a gel liner to achieve the look.I started from the inner part of the eye bringing it out in little strokes to ensure a smooth line. I then did the same underneath and brought them together at a point. Then to finish off I applied two coats of black mascara to ensure her lashes were full and long. You could also apply lashes if you liked.

For the eyebrows, I wanted them to be the main feature on the face so I made them thick and slanting upwards to give the illusion that the face was lifted. I then placed little dots above them to bring even more attention to them but it also added something extra to the look to make it stand out even more.

Then finally for the lips I just used a gold shimmer on them keeping them neutral compared to the rest of the face.

Hope you enjoyed my look and if you have any questions ask below and I will be sure to answer them:)
