Face Charts

Hello make up lovers.
It's been a while since I've posted, and my deepest apologies for neglecting you, but I am back and have a great topic to discuss with you today.

As the title alludes to, I'll be discussing face charts.

I love face charts for so many reasons, they are great to help you practice your techniques, they're great ways to plan out looks before you apply them on someone, and they really help you perfect your blending, because blending on paper is more difficult than on skin.

 Now you're probably wondering, where do I get face charts?
They are very easy to find, they're all over online, just google search face charts and hundreds of them pop up, from all types of makeup companies.
You can also head to your favorite makeup counter and ask to see theirs, they're very willing to part with a blank one for you to copy, but don't be greedy, just take one and photocopy it, don't ask for 100 charts, cause then they will probably tell you to buzz off.

What makes a good face chart?
I'm glad you asked. What I like in a chart is when the face is straight on, that way the angles and proportions are symetrical, and you don't have to be a physics wiz to calculate proportional placement.
I also like when the face has a jaw line and face that is on both sides, that way it's  easier to have a more even contour and blush placement.

That's pretty much it, just have fun and play.
Remember practice makes perfect and with face charting you'll be a star in no time.
And don't forget to sign your charts, you want everyone to know who the artist is, and don't want anyone else taking credit for your work.

Now just for fun, here are some face charts I've done over the years...
