Editorial: facecharts

I have begun designing my facecharts for my editorial look after some research that I have done, including my moodboard and gathering other images together for inspiration.

I really like the idea of using an ombre effect within my look, reflecting the images of the sky that I saw in the landscape images from the Tribal Asia book. Using the white block across the mouth also references my moodboard with the fashion image that was used, also the image of the Wodaabe men with their white face paint. Underlining the eyebrows is also a concept that I have not tried before, I think that it will give an interesting look referencing the tribes too.

This image also uses a lot of fading and contouring the face using colour in the shades of the sky that I wanted to reference. I think that this image has too much shading within the lips, then the cheeks, even some under the brows. I think that this would be too overpowering and would not work well.

I really like this facechart, the block on the lips would look effective on camera and I like the shape of the contouring on the face, also the idea of having white highlighting and detailing the face.  

This image uses the shape of the contouring above but I also included the black lips within the look to reference the Wodaabe men again, as I did in my moodboard.

The images that I have referenced within my description of the facecharts are shown below:
