Orange, Pearl & Black

Posted on 19. Jun, 2010 by GlitterGirl in Kryolan, Orange, Pearl

Inspired by my new costume, this face painting design in orange, pearl and black was pretty fun to create and fairly quick in coming together.

This was a 45 minute paint job, including the heart on the chest, and was part of my Precompression look.

Tools Needed:

		Begin by applying a black outline on the upper lid near the lash with the square brush Using the same size brush, apply orange to the lower part of the lid below the crease, mixing with the black and pulling it up and out Blend the colors together as you pull away from the lashes and sideways
Apply the pearl to the upper part of the lid, blending it with the orange as you drag toward the outer edge of the eye Line the eye again on both the top and bottom lid; be sure to pull the swirls out from the edge of the eye on the left side of the face Create the heart and moon outlines Mix the orange from the swirl and the heart as you did on the eyes
		Apply the pearl on top of the orange around the swirl, heart and moon; partial application gives the illusion of depth and shadow Using the thin brush, touch up the black edges to add definition Using the other thin brush, apply pearl to the outline of the swirls, moon and heart Add highlight to the eyes with the thin pearl brush underneath the black lines
Outline the lips with the thin black brush Apply orange and mix with the black to cover the lips Cover the lips with pearl to add more depth and shine Create a heart on the chest using the same techniques used for the heart on the face Using the eye shadow brush, apply orange glitter to the more orange spaces on the face, including the lips
