Colour Theory and Face Charts

We looked at Colour Theory and the colour wheel to distinguish different categories. These are;

- Monochromatic: A variation of the same colour

- Analogous: Colours that are neighbours on the colour wheel 

- Complementary: Colours on the opposite ends of the wheel, they have a strong contrast and can clash.

- Primary: Red, Blue and Yellow

- Secondary: Purple, Green and Orange

- Acromatic: White, Black and Greyscale

- Neutral: Beige, Taupe, Amber and Brown

- Chromatic Colour: Pure Colour, for example; pigment

- Cool and Warm: The undertone in the product

Face Charts 

I created three Face Charts, each with a different colour scheme. 

Complementary

For my Complementary Face Chart, I decided to use Yellow and Purple as my colour scheme with a very neutral but highly contoured face. I decided to do a 'cat-eye' look to change the shape of the eye and make it a lot more dramatic. I like the contrast between the dark 'blue-toned' purple and the bright yellow, and I think that it would look even better on actual skin so the colour can be even more vibrant.

Analogous

 For my Analogous look I took inspiration from the typical colours of a sunset, which is the gradient I wanted to create on the eye. I like how the yellow, orange and red blend together well to create this look I had imagined. I think it would've been good to find a colour for the eyes which would go well with eyeshadow and add something else to the look.

Monochromatic

For my Monochromatic look I decided to use Blue as my colour. As I wanted to do something a bit different with this one, I decided to colour the entire face a light blue colour, and use a darker navy blue as the contour and definition. In my head I imagined this as a look for a 'Snow-Queen' so I wanted to create a cold and harsh look which is why I left out eyebrows on the face. I think that to make the look even harsher I could've done even more contouring to make the features stand out more and appear more hollow.
