Texture Inspiration - Make-up

So why texture? 

Key Words

• Touch
• Feel
• Age
• Art
• Smooth
• Skin
• Senses 

For this project I have started looking at texture on the skin and on different mediums like acetate.

Here are a few images below that made me think about the looks I want to achieve, but still have the running theme of the brand Illamasqua and the spring/summer 2016 collection.

When I look at images on either a look book, magazine, book or online source I am always intrigued with the texture of the skin, smooth or painted.

With my final images for the advertisement, Editorial and Catwalk, I want it so the viewer has the want to touch the image. It will have the feeling that this is a piece of art work in somewhere like the V&A, instead of a simple make-up/ beauty image.

Here are some images below that have got me thinking of what mediums I want to use, and the way I will apply it to the skin.

With these images you get that emotion to want to touch it, to feel the lumps and bumps; below, I also found some images from Americas Next Top Model Episode 6 photoshoot with powder paint  I do really like the effect it has on the skin, how it clumps in places, the colour disperse, how some areas are light and others really dark.

I found an image by Charlotte Tilbury who did this for a MAC Editorial in 'Miles of MAC'. 

She's has done a simple skin on the model, and in the studio overplayed a sheet with paint/make-up over the top. I want to replicate this idea with different mediums like food, flowers, paint etc. and see the outcome. To be continued in another blog post!
