designed this make-up, a little over a year ago, for a "dark" silent, short film. It consists of face, hair, and body make-up.
I began with the base (Joe Blasco alabaster and olive beige.) After I based and powdered my model, "Anna Rexia." I began on the eyes.
I used an angle brush for the hard lines, and then faded the shadow with a soft, rounded brush. The colors I used were Electra and Crystal from MAC and Twilight from Stilla. Around the eyes, for the dark shadow, I used frost (the highlighted areas.) The eyelashes were the models' own (fake.)
The cheek color was just a generic pink, everyone has a color like this.
For the lips, I used Ozone Lipstick, Clear Lipmix (gloss) and Frost Pure Pigment, all from MAC.

After I finished the face, my partner, Travis Pates helped me with the hair and the tattoo.
The hair was done with a sharp, angle brush. The color was a carbon eye shadow again. We started at the top and drew lines downward, making it look like tiger stripes.
The tattoo was done free hand, with two small angled brushes for detail work.
We used Reel Vreations black tattoo ink and powdered the face and body with, "no color" powder.
