1. 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.

2. 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.

3. First of all I alter the
skin of my model.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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).

7. 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 %.

8. From this
To this
Using the white brush tool to colour all of the skin
visible it brings out the blurred filter
slightly, making the skin appear smoother.

9. 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.

10. Secondly I will alter
the lips of my
model, making it look
like she is wearing
lipstick.

11. Firstly I use the lasso tool to select the lips.

12. 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.

13. I then go to image and adjust the image, raising the
brightness, once this is done I move this layer
behind its duplicate.

14. 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.

15. Thirdly, I will alter
the eye colour of
the model.

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

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. Next I will alter the
eye makeup/eye
brows.

20. 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.

21. I then lower the opacity of the layer, in order
for the colouring and filling of the eyebrows
to look more natural.

22. Finally using the paint brush tool to add
additional shaping and filling of different
shades to the eyebrow.

23. 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%.

24. 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.

25. 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.
