Continuity practice

I practiced continuity by creating an eye look, making notes and taking pictures, and then recreating it again a few days later. These were my notes:

  • Stay Matte primer all over lid
  • Stay Matte Powder all over lid - press on with brush
  • (Use Naked palette:) 
  • 'Sin' eyeshadow all over lid - press on with finger
  • 'Sidecar' all over eyeshadow all over on top of in - press on with finger
  • 'Toasted' eyeshadow on outer V with eyeshadow brush and blended up with blending brush, also apply under eye with eyeshadow brush - blend with blending brush
  • 'Hustle' eyeshadow in the crease on a thinner eyeshadow brush, and also under outer half of eye - blend with blending brush 
  • Thin line of black eyeshadow ('Creep') under bottom lash line, blend out
  • 'Creep' eyeshadow on top lash line on outer third of eye, and right in the crease with small brush, blend outward in cat-eye shape up towards end of eyebrow
  • 'Virgin' eyeshadow on inner corner with small pointed brush
  • Makeup Revolution 'Indirect' pigment on inner corner with small pointed brush
  • Soap&Glory 'Supercat' eyeliner - very thin across whole upper lashline, thicker towards edges, flicks
  • Mascara on upper and lower lashes - apply to top and bottom of upper lashes


These are the images of the first look (top) compared to the second (bottom):




I think I recreated the look really well. The only differences I can notice are that the inner corner colour looks slightly different - in the first images it looks very slightly brighter, as if I applied more product that time. Also, I think I blended the colours slightly more the first time. I also had trouble remembering exactly which brushes I used, so I could have been more clear in my notes. However, I think on camera, or to someone who did not do the make-up themselves, it would not be noticeable, and so I am happy with how my notes and images helped me to recreate the same look for continuity.
