Judges' comments:



lidoxangie: We were the most impressed by your entry.

The eyes were executed flawlessly. I'd suggest not focusing on the under eyes as much, because the highlights make the "bags" come out. Also, the lips were almost too whited out. I realize that you were going for the smoky eyes / nude lip look, but the lips do need some clear gloss to make them more soft-looking. Once again, the eyes are gorgeous!!!



nugget:

I love the originality and the "rainbow" theme. It was wise not to put your lips in the second picture, because the bright red does not go well with the eyes. A darker liner on the eyes and a more semi-nude/pink lip color would have been better. Overall, this does successfully look like something MAC would create.



hojax:

I was disappointed by your entry. There was not enough contrast in the make-up; it seems plain. It would have been better if you had made it much more dramatic... if you had perhaps pulled out the blue liner with a darker blue and fade it upwards, and make the yellow/gold shadow reach up to your brow bone and possibly even your temples (aligned with the liner). Although your eyes were plain, even if you had made your lips a bright, bright pink with some design or your cheeks different neon shades, it would have helped your entry "pop" this round.



Raven_Night:

This entry wasn't the best, but I do like the color choice for the eyes. Like Ellen's entry, it would have helped if you had emphasized the colors and made them more dramatic. Also, leaving the bottom of the eye blank does not go well with the colors you choosed, because they make it look too naked. A brush of mascara on the bottom eyelashes would have probably helped.







This round we have decided to eliminate...





No one.



Why? We felt that Ellen's previously excellent work redeems this entry, and we wanted to give her (and every other contestant) a second chance.

This next theme IS much more difficult, so make sure you remember to emphasizeeeeeee what you are trying to bring out, whether it be the eyes, cheeks, or lips! It will be hard to work with; yet there is so much you can do with it!

Also, you have been given much more time. School has just begun, so everyone probably has a busy schedule they have to work around. ^_^





Theme: Monochromatic (black, white, and ONE color) EXCLUDING shades of red.

Entry due: Sunday, September 23, 2007




Oh, and someone WILL be eliminated, so try your best!

Don't think it would help. Some makeup colors looks different on. Camera flash washes out a lot of colors as well, so a true comparison is almost impossible. It's all an honours system on here...so if people want to cheat, they can. But I would really, really appreciate it if they didn't. My only hope for pointing it out was so that people would be embarassed enough not to do it again.

Another solution (although it's inconvenient), take a video of you applying the makeup. Take your pictures after the video. Although I don't expect this to happen, nor do I find it to be reasonable.

I won't name any names for now, but I'll give them a benefit of a doubt. I (and other cBers who are suspicious)will be looking carefully next time.
