Practising ancillary text make-up and music video

make-up on a google image

When making my ancillary text my model will not need all of this editing done to her image (maybe just

darkening of the eye makeup/lip makeup etc.) however I am fully editing this image to practise my

photo shop skills.

This is the image that I will be using, the main focus of the image is the

models face and she is wearing no

makeup, which makes applying

makeup using photo shop easier.

First of all I alter the skin of my model.

The first thing I do is duplicate the layer that contains the

image of my model. I do this so there are two layers, altering

the top layer.

Secondly, I add a filter on the top layer, using the blur tool to add a Gaussian blur at the radius of

20.5 pixels.

I then add a layer mask onto the top layer which is now currently blurred. This will make the square

next to the image on the layer copy appear, which I will then use the fill tool to make it appear black, which will turn the image back to normal (non-

blurred).

When my image is back to normal I will select the brush tool in the colour white, with the hardness

percentage at 0%.

Then lowering the capacity to around 30 – 50 %.

Using the white brush tool to colour all of the skin visible it brings out the blurred filter slightly,

making the skin appear smoother.

From this To this

Finally when altering the skin, I will create a series of layers using the paint tool of different skin tones

to even out the tone of the models skin.

Secondly I will alter the lips of my model,

making it look like she is wearing lipstick.

Firstly I use the lasso tool to select the lips.

Once selected I add a filter to the lips, selecting artistic and then plastic wrap. Which causes the

effect on the right to appear on the lips.

I then go to image and adjust the image, raising the brightness, once this is done I move this layer

behind its duplicate.

I then use the paint tool on a dark red colour and several lighter colours to paint the lips on a

separate layer, I then lower the capacity of the layer to make it look more natural.

Thirdly, I will alter the eye colour of

the model.

Firstly I use the lasso tool to select the pupil of the eye.

I then save this selection under the name of something like ‘right eye’ or ‘left eye’, then pressing ok, I will then load the selection.

I will then alter the hue and lightness of the selected areas, which alters the colour of her pupils. Finally using the blur tool to make the

alteration appear natural.

Next I will alter the eye makeup/eye

brows.

Firstly I will use the eye drop tool to copy the colour of her hair, then using the paint brush tool to ‘paint’ on the eyebrows, making sure

to copy the original shape.

I then lower the opacity of the layer, in order for the colouring and filling of the eyebrows

to look more natural.

Finally using the paint brush tool to add additional shaping and filling of different

shades to the eyebrow.

When starting with the eye makeup I use the paint brush tool in the colour black and add a

layer to the bottom eye socket. Then lowering the opacity of this layer to 40%.

Also further adding a black cat eye layer. I then use the same black paint brush tool to

add eye liner of different shades of black and opacities all around the eye.

This is the final result once I have fully edited the image. I do not want my model to look

this edited, I was simply using this to practice my photo shop skills.
