Kryolan Greasepaint Palette

Hi Guy’s,

I wanted to share with you a little on this look I created using @Kryolan Greasepaint Palette. This look is one of my favourite looks I have done up to date. I thought it maybe helpful to those of you who are studying make up to to see how I created the look.

For this shoot I wanted to add bold colours to my portfolio and shading. I matched out the two colours I used with my colour wheel these were blue and orange. I wanted the make up to look striking and colourful and to represent a futuristic or space age like look. The hair again I researched online I wanted a really bold up do to match the bold make up. I had my hairdresser come along to the photo shoot and do the hair for me, she did an amazing job, and just how I pictured it to be. A long thick up do along the front of the head.

How I created the Look

I used Greasepaint for the orange shading with my fingers around the cheekbones and going right up above the temple and into the hairline, I used again the same greasepaint (orange) on the lid near the lash line (using a thin shadow brush) of the eye to separate it from the blue. I added white eyeliner along the lower lash line and into the corner of the eyes. Black Liner was applied onto the waterline. The blue shadow I used was from Myface Cosmetics and was from the blingtone range this shade is a really vivid electric blue (bellbottom blue) so it went perfectly against the orange. The false lashes I used had a hint of blue on the tips, which I thought, worked perfectly with the blue shadow. I wanted the brows to be dramatic and dark, so I used a dark brow pencil plus my brow kit. For the lips I used a bright orange eyeliner as lip liner and filled in the whole lips with this, then added orange lipstick and gloss on top.

If any of you are looking for a palette that provides bright pigmented colours I would recommend this Greasepaint palette, this shows off the colour very strongly, just be sure to set it with powder or the same coloured eye shadow as the paint you are using, otherwise it may run.

This palette is very versatile I use it on nearly all of my shoots. I sometimes even use the black to cover the brows or to use as a base for a shadow. Check out Kryolans full collection here www.kryolan.com
