Final Claudia Look: Step by Step

Make Up
Equipment:
-Foundation palette
-Buffing brush
-Small fluffy brush
-Big fluffy brush
-Translucent powder
-Contour palette
-Fluffy contour brush
-Disposable mascara wand
-Red supra colour
-Fluffy domed eye shadow brush
-Black eye shadow 
-Red eye shadow
-Small angled brush
-Dark red supra colour
-Rigid collodion
-Small flat brush

Step by step:
1. I first applied the milky white contact lens in one eye as I didn't want it to interfere with any of the makeup.

2. I mixed foundation colours Fair Olive and G177 to get a colour slightly paler than her natural skin tone. 
3. I applied this all over the face, ears and down the neck with a buffing brush to even out her skin tone and cover any imperfections. 
4. I then used a small fluffy brush to apply the foundation colour under her eyes and over her eyelids. 
5. Using a big fluffy brush, I then applied some loose translucent powder all over the face and wherever else I put the foundation. 
5. To warm the skin up I used a warm bronzer, on a blush brush, to contour the cheek bones, temples and anywhere where the sun would naturally hit the face, so around the forehead, on the nose and on the chin. 
6. I then contoured her cheekbones and temples further with a grey toned bronzer and a contour brush. I also lightly added this to either side of the nose. 
7. I added some highlighter to the tops of her cheek bones, don't the bridge of the nose, on the cupids bow and on the chin to give her a dewier and healthier look.
8. I used a cool toned pencil to fill her eyebrows in and brushed them through to soften them slightly.
9. I then drew some lines across one of her eyes with a small angled brush and red supra colour. I made the lines about two or three brush strokes thick.
10. I then added a straight line of the darker red colour along one side of each line to give subtle depth.
11. I lined the lower lash line with some red eye shadow to give her eyes a more sore and tired look.
12. I dabbed some red supra colour all over her lips with my finger and smudged it round the edges slightly to make it look like she had maybe eaten something and it had smudged or something. 
13. I then brushed some rigid collodion along each line, making sure not to get it too close to the eye. I applied it above the eyebrow, a little bit under the eyebrow and then I left a gap before drawing it under the eye. 
14. I added about 6 coats of this until I was happy with how the scars looked. 
15. Once the rigid collodion had dried and I was happy with the amount of layers added, I applied some foundation over the scars with a small flat brush and then rubbed it in with my finger to give it a more natural look. 
16. I used a cool toned pencil to fill her eyebrows in and brushed them through to soften them slightly.
15. Using a fluffy domed eye shadow brush I patted some black eye shadow onto the lid and used the same black eyeshadow and brush to blend into the crease. I used the same brush to blend the black eye shadow along the lower lash line as I want a very messy and smoked out look. 

Hair
Equipment:
Equipment:
-Paddle brush
-Tail comb
-Clear hair elastics
-Dry shampoo

Step by step:
1. Brush the hair with a paddle brush.
2. I created a middle parting with the tail comb and continued the centre parting all the way to the back of the hair line.
3. I sprayed some dry shampoo all over, but concentrating on the roots mainly. I massaged the product in well.
4. I backcombed the hair in sections to give it some extra body.
5. I then pulled the hair to the back of the ear on each side. separated each half into three and plaited both sides of the hair. 
6. I secured both plaits with clear elastic bands. 
7. I then pulled out any shorter hairs and rubbed the top of the hair to make it look a bit more messy. I also pulled at the plaits slightly to give the sam messy look.
