MODEL
I chose Charlotte Roffey to model for this look as her striking eyes had the perfect tones of blue to suit and compliment the colours used for the make up.
INSPIRATION
I wanted to base my look around the vibrant and exotic colours of this season of spring. Colours such as lime greens, pastel blues with a little splash of yellow. This colour combination inspired me to research images of spring birds and that’s where my Idea began.
MAKE UP AND HAIR
The main focus was planned on the eyes. I aimed for the eyes to resemble a spring bird from making the inner corner of the eye shaped into a beak, to drawing out soft-feathered lines on the outer eye to mimic the tail. I pulled out small sections from various faux feathers and placed them on top of the eyelashes to make them appear like fluttering wings. I kept everything else quite simple with a nude lip and used a bronzer/blush duo for cheek contour.
I chose a sleek hairstyle with a slight twist to frame around the dramatic eyes. I straightened out Charlotte’s natural curly ringlets and after I added some Moroccan oil to seal over the hair and add shine. I then finished it off by plaiting a fishtail braid down the centre of the head.
