Study Notes
Color Theory
- Hue: Pure color, differentiating one from another (e.g., red vs. blue)
- Intensity: Vividness or brightness of a color
- Value: Lightness or darkness of a color
- Tint: Adding white to a color (highest value)
- Shade: Adding black to a color (lowest value)
- Tone: Adding gray to a color (middle value)
- Primary Colors: Red, blue, yellow
- Secondary Colors: Orange, green, violet
- Complementary Colors: Colors opposite each other on the color wheel (e.g., red and green)
- Cool Hues: Blue-based colors like blue, violet, and green
- Warm Hues: Yellow-based colors like red, orange, and peach
- Skin Complexion Descriptors:
- Ruddy: Red or flushed appearance
- Sallow: Yellowish or pale appearance
- Best/Worst Colors for Skin Tones:
- Warm Undertones (Peach/Golden): Peaches, corals, golden browns, rusts work well.
- Cool Undertones (Bluish-Pink, Olive): Blues, violets, cherry reds, and fuchsias are flattering.
- Neutral Colors: Suited for almost anyone, as they aren't strongly blue or yellow-based.
Preparing the Canvas
- Undertone vs. Overtone:
- Undertone: Subtle hue under the surface (e.g., warm, cool, neutral) that doesn't change.
- Overtone: Surface skin color that may change with seasons or conditions (e.g., redness, tanning).
- Swatching/Testing Foundation:
- Best areas for testing: Neck or jawline.
- Avoid testing on wrists, hands, or forehead.
- Order of Application:
- Primer/Moisturizer
- Skin Tone Correctors (optional)
- Foundation
- Concealer (before or after foundation)
- Powder
- Objectives of Foundation:
- Protect the skin (often contains sunscreen)
- Even out skin tone
- Hide imperfections
- Create a base for makeup
Skin Tone Correctors
- Green: Cancels redness (e.g., acne or rosacea)
- Pink: Brightens dull complexions
- Lavender: Neutralizes sallowness
- Yellow/Orange: Corrects blue or greenish under-eye darkness
- Application Tips:
- For Asian or dark skin tones, always mix with foundation.
- Can be used before foundation or mixed with it for Caucasian skin.
Concealers
- Has higher pigment concentration than foundation
- Available in various types (pot, stick, tube)
- Uses:
- Hide dark circles, scars, pigmentation, and skin conditions
- Application Tips
- Apply in a stippling motion (pat to blend).
- Yellow undertones are best for under-eye darkness.
- Use "Hollywood V Technique" for shaping the face.
Contouring & Highlighting
- Main Objectives: Highlighting (Matte or iridescent) brings features forward, and Contouring (Matte Only) pushes areas back to create depth. Sculpting is the combination of both. Common Uses: Correcting facial proportions (e.g., short forehead, receding chin, long nose). Enhancing natural bone structure (cheekbones, jawline, nose, etc.).
Bones of the Face & Corrective Techniques
- Facial bone structure:
- Face is made up of 14 bones
- 13 bones are connected.
- The mandible (lower jaw) is the only moveable facial bone.
- Zygomatic (Cheekbones): Key for contouring, found by pressing on cheek area. Enhances contouring; high cheekbones can be accentuated with highlight/shading.
- Mandible (Jawbone): Helps define jawline contour. Defines lower face; contouring can soften or sharpen jawline appearance.
- Orbital (Eye Sockets): Determines eye makeup corrections. Affects how shadows and highlights are placed around the eyes.
- Temporal (Temples): Can be contoured for a slimmer face effect. Understanding the depth assists in aging makeup or creating hollow-cheek effects.
Facial Proportions & Zones
- Three Zones of the Face:
- Frontal Zone (Superior/Frontal) – Hairline to eyebrows
- Middle Zone (Median/Sensitive) – Eyebrows to nose base
- Lower Zone (Inferior/Instinctive) – Nose base to chin
- Facial Profile Types:
- Straight: Ideal, forehead & chin aligned
- Convex: Forehead & chin recede, middle of face more prominent
- Concave: Forehead & chin are prominent, middle of face set back
- Oval Face Proportions
- Ideal Face Shape
- Width = 5 eye lengths
- Mouth Width = Distance between irises.
- Minimal contouring/highlighting needed.
Blush Application
- Purpose of blush: Designed to give complexion a healthy glow and serve other purposes
- General Guidelines:
- Apply starting from outer cheek toward the center.
- Use imaginary lines from pupil & base of the nose to determine placement.
- Different application for different face shapes:
- Long or Narrow Face: Apply horizontally at the cheekbone to add width.
- Short or Round Face: Apply in diagonal/triangular shape to lengthen.
- Square Face: Circular application to soften edges.
- Heart Face: Square blush placement below cheekbones.
- Pear Face: Blush low on cheeks, blend up and out toward hairline
- Lighting & Makeup
- Different light sources affect makeup perception.
- Adjust color choices accordingly.
