I hadn't drawn for many days, but today I was in the mood, so I picked up my tablet. At first, I wanted to do a colorful portrait, but in the end, I decided to do something a little different: eyes with dark, smudged makeup, light-colored eyes that stand out against the darkness, slightly messy makeup, purple lips, and glitter to make the makeup even prettier. I don't usually do a lot of makeup in my drawings, and I like it, but sometimes I feel like it's complicated. Today I loved the result. Her eyes look quite intense with those black/brown tones around them. It reminds me a lot of the makeup I like to do myself.

Lately, I've been following a pattern in my drawings. I love drawing faces up close, and I think it's an excellent way to highlight details and make them more realistic. Today, I did just that with my sketch, and then I started painting using light/warm skin tones that were also a little opaque. I started applying the makeup from the first layer of color, making the eyes very dark and the lips a dark purple shade. Then I added a new layer where I added more colors to the face to give it better shape. I started mixing the colors, leaving the skin with some texture.

I painted the eyelashes, eyebrows, and also the hair around the face, which I didn't detail much since it was barely visible. I also wanted to add a few small strands of hair floating near the face. I began to add a little more detail to the makeup by adding a slight purple color around the eyes. I detailed the lips a little more with medium/light purples, creating a kind of gradient. I also added some black lines to the eye makeup to give it that “messy” look. I finished by adding highlights and decided to add a glitter effect to the makeup. I also adjusted the color of the entire photo a little to my liking.
