"Harpy" FOTD - Avant Garde

[aeni]

Avant garde day! This is my favorite design thus far and is the best "model" photo I have thus far.

Taken under studio lights and PSed color balance (too yellow), brightness and contrast (to make everything contrast better). That was it.

Ben Nye foundation (lighter than her skintone)
Dermacolor D1W? under eyes
Powdered with BN Neutral Set and OCC White
Ben Nye Blood Red and Yellow creme around hair line (I wanted to take it higher, but the end result would've stained her hair pink)
Powdered with OCC Red #5 and Yellow
BN White on eyes and other highlighted areas
MAC Aria to shade cheeks
Kryolan black cake (to outline where MAC Blacktrack would go)
Maybelline Great Lash in Black on upper lashes, Ardell lashes above. Curl.

Style hair like Auntie Entity.

Nice work. I probably would've moved the red into the hairline and washed out the eyebrows, but that's just me. Very cool nonetheless.

Do you mean moving the red into the hairline in PS and toning down the brows in there too? B/c my model didn't want a pink halo since she just got her hair done 2 weeks ago and didn't want to bleach her brows.

Personally I'm fine with the brows. I'd like to redo this makeup on a blonde who wanted to dye her hair red later that day.
