Monochromatic face chart

So today was the day that I did my first ever face chart..It was a daunting process to say the least. we were told to choose either an analogous, monochromatic or complimentary colour scheme and then create a face chart based around it. I chose to do a monochromatic look and picked the colour blue. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible seeing as it was my first time and I wanted to make sure I got the hang of it before I started to go a little more wild with my designs. We watched a brief tutorial just so we had a slight idea as to what to do and where to start. 

The first thing that I did was to create the base. I used the Kryolan skin base in Alabaster as I wanted to have a pale skin tone. At first I found it incredibly difficult as I couldn't place it on as evenly as I wanted to however after a while I was able to get the hang of it and I was able to apply it a lot smoother than I did originally. The next thing that I did was to add a small amount of shading around the cheekbones so that it makes the face look a little more 3D. This I think was the hardest thing to do. At first I couldn't find the right colour and then at some point I put on too much and then there was too little. I just couldn't find the balance!! I had to do some serious blending in order for both sides to be even!! The last thing that I did was to start on the eye make up. I had to use different shades of blue so I started off with putting a small amount of light blue in the inside corner of the eyes and then tried to make it darker as it went out, however that didn't go quite to plan. It ended up mostly a darker blue with a tiny amount of light blue. However for my first attempt I am really pleased as to how it turned out.
