Practical: Complimentary Colour Contouring

During this practical, we explored extreme contouring and highlighting combined with the use of the colour wheel. We used two complimentary colours and decided which colour would be best for contouring and the best for highlighting. The colours I chose were blue and orange. I thought it was better to use the orange to highlight and the blue to contour.  Using such bright colours allowed the contouring to be more obvious and it really created an interesting outcome.

To achieve this look as best as possible, we prepped the skin, applied and base and heavily powdered. This allowed the colour powders to be applied to the skin with more ease.

After the face had been contoured with complimentary colours, we decided to use grease based colours to paint on definite lines to create a more interesting outcome. I did this at random, but often followed the lines of the face.
