FACE B4 Anti-Bacterial Face Wash + Serum Review

This skincare combo is an absolute dream and has everything I look for in skincare products! Both the Face Wash and Serum are unscented which is a huge positive for me as it means that there's a higher chance of it not breaking me out as my skin is quite sensitive to richly scented products. And these products did not break me out at all, which is great!

The Face Wash is both a cleanser and a toner which I love as I don't like using too many products on my face as it takes too much time, so combining both skincare essentials in one is genius! The two elements of cleanser and toner mash up into a nice foam which I use during both day and night time. I apply the Serum just after using the face wash and once I've pat dried my face. I use two pumps of the Serum and it's very soothing on the skin.

This set has been great at keeping the blemishes away and has helped clear up my complexion. Would be amazing and so useful for people with problematic skin and teens! These products come to £14.95 each on Boots, which might be a little expensive for some people but it is honestly worth it and is for sure worth the price!

1960's Retro Makeup

This look is replicating the 1960's iconic retro makeup look. I used the techniques of theatre makeup with the heavy contour and highlight which looks a lot more diffused in the pictures above. The main focus of the look is the big eyes with a cut crease and big lashes.

The big red wig that has been specially styled and 60's style dress really make this look credible as a 60's look and emphasises that it's suitable for a theatre production.

This makeup done as part of Theatre Assessment for my Media Makeup course in University.

Special Effects: Scar and Cuts

This look was created using a scar/cut prosthetic which was made using liquid latex. At first the look was going to be an old healed scar on the chin area, however since it didn't look realistic overall, I transformed it into a cut with an incision in the middle of the prosthetic and blood splattered all over.

The casualty simulation of this look is that the woman hit her chin on the edge of the swimming pool, splashing blood all over her face and filling the pool with her blood. the image above shows her right after the accident with her towels draped on her with her looking at her bloody hands. 

This was a look I created for my Special Effects course for University.

Edwardian Higher and Lower Class Makeup

One of the most difficult makeup to achieve in my opinion is the no makeup look. This was the case for creating this Edwardian lower and higher class women. They had to look extremely natural but with their faces still concealed and the skin still perfected without looking like makeup.

These looks were created for my Era Assessments for my Media Makeup course at University.

Egyptian Goddess Makeup Look

This look was created with the Egyptian era as the main influence. It's a high fashion Egyptian look that incorporates the Egyptian style almond eyes and the eye of Horus. I used colours such as yellow golds, blue, pink, and purple to illustrate a high fashion feel and effect. I created a metallic black golden lip to complement the fierce eye-catching eye makeup.

This look was created for my Fashion Assessment for my Media Makeup Course in University.

Drag Makeup

For my Character Makeup Assessment for University I accomplished a drag makeup look. I used different shades of powders, foundations, and concealers to create a classic drag base on the face. The overall look is inspired by some of my favourite Drag Queens such as RuPaul, Raven, Manila Luzon, and Vivienne Pinay. These queens often use neutral colours on all of the eyes, face, and lips but still conveying a sense of exxageration which is what drag is. This meant that my male model was feminised on all features on the face, but mainly on the eyes and the face.

I finished the look of with a curly blonde wig from abhair.com, a leopard print dress and a sleek black belt.
