1. Intro: These charts are makeup poetry. Hi, I'm Mina method, makeup artist and illustrator. Now I want to show you how you can make artwork with her makeup and draw a beautiful face chart. If you think you can draw, no worries. I will teach you all the tips and tricks I learned from years of makeup artistry and drawing. Combined with this new knowledge, I'm hoping you will feel more competent to design and illustrate makeup looks and be proud of the work that you can create. You could frame it to decorate your walls or add text to it and make it an inspirational poster. Follow my lead to have fun with your makeup and discovered new expressive voice to create artwork. So gather your makeup and let's get started.
2. What Is a Face Chart: Across the beauty industry, face charts or makeup designs that provide guides in runway shows and theatre or film productions. They are also good for practice and showcasing makeup skills. Outside professional use. Phase charts make a great grown-up coloring book and can be a fun hobby for anyone who loves to play with makeup. They can be colored with anything from colored pencil to nail polish. And it can make this as realistic or stylized as you like. Practice phase starts come in peds printed on a special paper that holds make up better. But there are plenty of face shapes to choose from. Most makeup brands offer free templates that you can download and print at home. See the resources to this tutorial, and you can find a template to get you started.
3. Terms Used: Let's do a brief overview of the terms used in this tutorial just so that we are familiar with the main parts of the face will be drawing. First, we will be addressing the bone structure of the face, that is the temples, the cheekbones, the jaw line, and the chin. Drawing the eyebrow, we will construct the arch peak. As we progress with the face chart, we will refer to elements of the eye such as eye socket, upper lid, lower lid, tear duct, and increase. Further down the face, we will create nostrils and define the cupid's bow on the lips. This image is available for you to download and reference throughout the tutorial.
4. Materials: For this class, you can use any makeup products and
tools you have available. I will draw my face chart
on this professional paper that is especially designed
to hold cosmetic products. But I have also
provided you with a template you can download and print on any paper you choose. I have tested plain copy paper, drawing paper, and
they both work well. But as you can see, you get different results. If you're the creative type, you could also draw
your own face chart. Would love to see what
you come up with. You will need
powder into shades, lighter in a darker tone. It can be loose powder
or compact powder. The darker shade can be a
browser or an eye shadow. For the eyes, I
have a few palettes with various eye shadow
colors and an eyeliner. For the lips. I chose a selection
of lipsticks that I've deported in this
small metal box, because this way I have
several colors at a glance. Of course, any lipstick
will do the job. Next. I have a top
color, eye shadow. This is a cream one.
A soft Bessel Denzel in a very light
shades for sketching. Colored pencils in shades
of blue for the iris, and an eraser that
I forgot to show. If you make a brushes
in various sizes. Water to activate
my cake eyeliner, paper, towel, and a scrap piece of paper to rest my hand on. Last but not least, is a big fluffy brush so I can wipe off the excess
makeup from the paper. Don't use your hand
to do that because the face chart will
get oily and patchy. Now, gather your materials
and let's get started.
5. Face: I'll start by applying
a coat of powder in the lighter shade just to
keep the phase some color. Green products like consider
are harder to work with. So I'm only using dry
cosmetics for this step. I'm starting from the temple and going down towards the chin, following the
contour of the face. So I'm rendering according to the bone structure
that I want to mimic. I'm applying the powder with
an oval eye shadow brush. My powder has a yellow
undertone because it's from my personal kit and
this is my skin color. Notice how I'm
holding the brush, pushing the powder into the paper rather
than swiping across. I'm covering everywhere
except the eyes and the lips. But this is not mandatory. Some makeup artists don't
even call up the skin and going with just one shade straight to defining
the features. Now I have a good
base for my face, so it's time to wipe off the
excess with my fluffy brush. Following, I'm adding
dimension to the face using the same brush to apply
the darker shade of powder. I'm starting from
the left temple because I'm left-handed, but I would suggest you
start from the right side. If you're right-handed. This way, you can
rest your hand on the side of the face
chart, not onto it. I'm using circular motions
to hog the temples, making curves to mimic the
roundness of the face. I've decided for my light
source to be in front and top. So all my shadows will be on the sides and
bottom of the face. I'm drawing the cheekbone and give my model
a sculpted look. I'm also adding some powder
on the outer corner of the jawline as it is further from the
light and the shadow. After wiping off
the excess powder, you can see how light
that drawing is, because make-up builds
up differently on paper. It's like when watercolors
dry, lighter than applied. I've switched to
a stiffer brush. This is a short blender
brush because I felt the previous one didn't
provide enough precision. And with this brush, I can make a more defined
mark on the paper easier. Here's a tip. A smaller brush is easier to
control than a big brush. And that goes for any
makeup application. Again, I'm mimicking the bone
structure of the temple, the cheekbone, and the jaw line. I'm also drawing a
slight curve for a shadow about halfway between the lower
lip and the chin. I'm moving to the other
side of the face now. And you can see how
difficult it is for me to bend my hand in
this awkward angle. So don't be afraid to turn the paper around
in order to have a more comfortable hand position and keep a good
flow when drawing. I'm doing the same
on the left side. Curving my brushstrokes
to give dimension to the face and trying to
replicate it the other side. I'm constantly looking
for symmetry and going over both
sides to match them. Another benefit of flipping the paper is that you
get a fresh view of your work because you've tricked your mind into thinking
this is a new drawing. In my case, turning the paper revealed that the cheekbones
are not matching. So now I can correct them. I always start my drawings
from the outside of the face and work my
way towards the center. The nose is closest
to the light source, and so it will be
lighter in color. So in order to create
the shape of the nose, I have to draw the
shadows surrounding it. I'm dragging my brush to draw a line continuing the
curve of the eyebrow. Then I turn the paper
and do the same. On the other side. I gently tap repeatedly into the paper to make a thin mark
for the nostrils, wipe off the excess and add
more color where needed. I'm holding the brush
perpendicular on the paper so that I can
push the powder better. Going back to the eyes, I'll bring the curve
of the nose just under the eyebrow to
mimic the eye socket. Where does a natural shadow? I'm also suggesting cupid's
bow on the upper lip by drawing a narrow line
of shadow under the nose. I am also adding
some shadow under the eye because our eyes
are round like a ball, and this helps rendering 3D. This process might be long, but I encourage you to explore and designed
to face structure. You find the most beautiful. Coming up. We will
draw the eyebrows.
6. Eyebrows: For drawing the eyebrows, you could use I pencils, I shadows or markers. And it can get very
different effects and looks depending on the texture and the way you
apply the product. I chosen old cream, I shadowed and dried and
it's almost a powder. I'm using an angled brush
and load it with product. Make sure you for the color and size of the
market brush makes. Before I place color, I want to sketch the
rough placement of the eyebrow with
my pastel pencil. I'm using a scrap
paper to protect the face chart and so
I can rest my hand. The mark is barely visible, but it's enough to guide me and will be completely
covered with bacon. By the end. I'm turning the paper upside down again to make sure my mind gets
a fresh perspective. Two eyebrows match. Once I'm pleased
with the placement, I go in with my brush and start drawing thin lines
to mimic hair. Notice I'm rendering in the
direction of the hair grows. That is upwards until I reached the arch peak and downwards to the temples,
forming a point. When deciding the
shape of the eyebrows. Bear in mind that
this will drastically affect the overall
expression of the face, varying from set to angry
just by changing some angles. I'm choosing a neutral sort of relaxed expression
for my model. When it's time for
the other brow. I turned a paper upside down again and repeat the process. Drawing fine lines with
little product on my brush. Okay. This thing up color gradually is the secret, realistic rendering. You might have to fiddle with both eyebrows going back
and forth between them. Just keep in mind, they are
not identical in real life, so don't try to make them twins. As a last touch, I
fit them them more at the baseline and make sure
they have a clean edge.
7. Iris: I've decided my model
will have blue eyes. So I'm using two shades of
blue and the black pencil. First I'm outlining the iris
and the pupil with black. You can also use markers or
watercolor for this part. When you throw the I, don't
just fill it in with color. Be aware of the
roundness of the iris. Try scribbling little lines that radiate from the pupil
to the outer edge. At door, three colors for realism and keeps some parts untouched to mimic highlights. Again, use a piece of paper
to protect the face chart.
8. Eyeshadow: The makeup look I
want to create is based on the idea of
enhancing natural beauty. So I will use color theory
to determine the colors of the eye shadows in order to complement the
color of the iris. Here I have a color wheel that I made using all the eye
shadows that I have, so I can see at a glance
what my options are. So the blue of my eyes
will be better enhanced by using complimentary
colors for my shadows. A complimentary color, the color on the opposite side
on the color wheel. In this case, these bronze, copper, and chocolate
colors are my best bet. You can use any combination
of eye shadows you like. Don't feel limited by the colors provided by certain brand. You can mix and match them or even combine them to
form a new color. I'm starting with the shadow and the blender brush I
used earlier for the face. I use circular motions to push the color into the paper
covering the whole lid. Same on the lower lid, extending slightly and
upwards on the outer corner and bring down the
color to the lower leg. So you can still
see some eye shadow after we add liner
and lashes later. I picked up some
chocolate color on my brush and place it where the crease of
the eye should be. Because the eye is wrong. We have shadows all around it, not just on the outer corner. I'm using brothers circular
motions on the eye socket. Ring the color to
the inner corner, but make sure it goes thinner. Massage the color
into the paper. We don't want any rough edges and everything should
be smooth and smoky. Occasionally, turn
the paper upside down to verify the
symmetry of your work. I'm adding a third
shade of brown. This is a bronze color. I'm placing it on the half of
the lead towards the nose, and also underneath the eye. At the inner corner. The eye shadow has
a metallic hand and adds interest
to my face jogged. Going back to copper, I apply another layer to
make it stronger and bolder, much like I would do if I were
applying makeup and skin. Thin, multiple layers or the secret long-lasting
makeup looks. I'm almost done with the eyes. So this is a good time
to clean up anywhere. I have smudges, smears. I'm using a kneaded eraser to remove color from the
paper without dropping. This way, I don't damage the paper and I can
be very precise. Okay, now it's time
to add eyeliner.
9. Eyeliner: This is where we start to tie the whole makeup look together. I'm using cake eyeliner, which means I use water
to activate the product. But once it's wet, it acts like any regular
liquid eyeliner. I'll apply it with a
liner brush in size 0. This process is easier
done in two steps. Start your line from
the center of the lid, going towards the outer corner. At this stage, just follow
the natural curve of the eye. Lift the brush and move
to the inner corner, drawing a curve
towards the center of the lid to join the eyeliner. Now I can go back to the outer.
10. Lashes: To create realistic lashes, I will use a quick and
confident hand motion, starting from a point and flicking like and demonstrate
on the scrap paper. Lashes can be drawn
with a variety of tools like colored pencils, regular drawing
pencils, markers, and of course, eyeliner. Practice some lashes separately. It helps to relax your hand before you start on
your face chart. Think about the growth pattern. Lashes grow shorter towards the inner corner and
carve towards the nose. They are longer on
the outer edge of the eye and curve
towards the ears. Don't forget to rotate
the paper so that your hand stays in a comfortable
and relaxed position. If you want a softer
look, you can stop off. They're adding
lashes with pencil. I'm going to add
some extra lashes on the outer corner using eyeliner. I'm following the same pattern, making sure I give
each lash a good thick because I made the
lashes so black. I now have to make
the pupil darker too, because this shouldn't
be the black as part of the eye, not the eyeliner. Okay. The eyes are now done. It's time to draw the mouth.
11. Lips: For the lips, I'll use a red shade of red and that will apply to the lip brush. This palettes for my personal use, and it holds all my red lipsticks. I have another one for pinks and neutrals. With the brush heavily loaded. I'm outlining the lips with color. This is a good time to adjust the shape of the mouth to suit your preference. I'm sketching some small shapes on the upper and lower lip because I wanted to avoid them when I fill in so I can have highlights and give the illusion of full lips. I'll drag the color from the outline towards the center of the mouth, fading it gradually. Hi. And we're done the makeup. Luke is now complete.
12. Class Project: Now it's your turn. Your class project is to create a face chart with a makeup look of your choice and uploaded the class project section. You can color your own drawing or download and use the template I provided. Just have fun with it and be proud of what you create. I would love to see what you made. If you enjoyed this tutorial, I would appreciate it a lot. If you could give it a thumbs up and writing a few words what you liked about it.
