What's up makeup minions I'm Kim Witte and welcome back to my youtube channel!
if you are new here please hit that subscribe button below to become part of
the Witte Artistry family. This makeup look was recommended by Steph and Ken
for a steampunk robot look so let's get this tutorial going. Starting off with a
clean face with lotion I am applying primer so the paint goes on smoothly and
also comes off nicely. Like always I am mapping out my design using an eyebrow
pencil. For this particular look since it is my own creation and it's a little bit
complicated I decided to draw out the entire design on my sketchbook first.
Basically what I was going for is sort of carved away skin that has mechanical
steampunk anatomy underneath both for the heart and my forehead and my jaw.
Whenever you are creating anatomy, both fantasy and realistic you want to base
it off of real anatomy, so I was following a reference photo of a heart
and I did enlarge it a bit just so you could see the detail. This is also going
to be a skin illusion look so I wanted it to look like my skin had been carved
away to show the machinery without any gore. Now I'm just mapping out the eye
piece my eyebrows and I'm going to have some gears turning in my head. For all of
the body paint in this look I use Wolfe FX and I'm starting off with the
metallic copper color and I am covering the entire heart and then going in with
the metallic silver and going over choice pipes in my heart. I wanted the
Steampunk shapes to have a lot of variation and to be broken up visually
so I used the Aztec gold color to go over the remainder of the pipes.
Basically the pipes just imitate the arteries and veins. Add some more silver
to your pipes. To fill the extra space I extended the pipes both in the Aztec
gold and the silver and wanted to create a couple little kinks just so they look
really neat. Just got to say I love the color scheme in this makeup look and I
love metallic colors so this robot was a lot of fun. It's time to map out my
facial features. I decided to create an orbital bone in silver and then I'm
creating the gears, just their base colors in gold and then filling the rest
in silver. I decided my jaw would be operated by Pistons that I painted
copper and then I painted the rest of the jaw silver.
To give my heart a little bit of dimension adding a smidgen of black to
that copper color. I decided to go in on the heart and all of the portions that
would have a shadow, basically the lower parts, the deep crevices to separate the
paneling and then I added some white to the mixture and did the same thing
except for highlights. So this time it is on top of the heart and on the highest
points of all of the heart. Then to soften up the highlight I just dabbed
over it with a wet brush and then darkened the darks again. And then tap it
all out. In order to make it really look 3d just do this a couple times. Mix
together a little black gold and Aztec gold and don't forget to do a little bit
of dancing on the way. And I am creating the shadows for the what is going to be
the pressure gauge on the heart and also adding the same color to all of the
lower portions of all of my golden pipes. Make sure you keep the shadows on the
underside of the pipes and then just gradually blend it out with some water.
mix together as the same two golden colors but add white because now we're
going to do the highlights on the pipe. When doing highlights make sure you keep
them sort of centralized using a small detail brush only make sure they are on
the high points of the pipe like I said before and then also just blend it out a
little bit with a wet brush. Second verse same as the first, but this time I am
doing this silver pipe so just add a hint of black to the silver and I am
going to go underneath all of the lower portions of the silver pipe and just add
some dimension. Make sure you are following a reference photo for a heart
this entire time, it will really help you out with the positions of the pipes. And
then I am going on the edges of the pipes where the skin is going to cast a
shadow and darkening it up and now I'm switching to highlight colors so I'm
going in with a lighter version of the silver and adding it just to the top
portions of the pipes and adding some shadows when I need it to add some dark
silver ridges to your aorta and also your superior vena cava make sure you
are curving the lines with the tubes and then also add highlights to all of them.
A way I designed to my mechanical heart is I wanted it to have soft of like a
window inside to see all the cool cogs and gears. Basically I just googled
images of whirring gears and stuff and I use gold
Aztec gold and copper and I created shadows on the undersides of these gears
and also the little nubs that come off of it add a little bit of extra shadow
onto the bottom sides of the pipes and I'm switching to the highlight color the
yellow and white. My little pressure gauge needs some glass over it so I
decided to mix together white and yellow to create that color and then also vary
the color to a darker version up by the edges.
I wanted my heart to have a little bit of extra detail so I added white to my
copper and decided to create some cute little rivets in between the different
panels of the heart and then added a couple extra highlights on round the
ridges and edges what makes water activated paint so much fun is you can
put a stark highlight on top of another color and then just kind of dab it out
and blend it out with water and it looks great. With the dark silver I'm
separating the center of my cog from its outer ridges and then spraying myself
with mac's fix+ because I was doing this for a while and I didn't want it to
crack. Fll in all the negative space with black and then very precisely add
little notches on your power gauge. And it is highlight time...going in with solid
white I am choosing very selectively and precisely where to put my white
highlights. This is on all of the highest points of all the pipes. If you have
issues figuring out where they go I suggest looking at like a metallic lamp
like a lamp hat or desk lamp It's usually a pretty good indicator of where
to put the highlights. Just make sure you're keeping your light source
consistent that is what will really help sell the illusion. I find this part
really satisfying I don't know why. Add little highlights on the gears and
don't forget your pressure gauge then with a wet brush I am dabbing out all of
the white highlights just to make them look more realistic. Every pressure gauge
needs a little needle so don't forget to do that like I almost did. Following a
reference photo of your mandible I am now creating some metallic teeth.
I just created this with layers of silver keeping the darker parts on the
bottom and then fill them the negative space with black. Time to outline my
little pistons and blend them in a bit. I decided to have my whole jaw silver and
I created a highlight on top near the teeth and blended that out to really
make it have some dimension and then created little cast shadows from the
skin and just blended them out of it. Add a stark highlight to the tops of the
teeth and onto my little piston things. I decided that there was a little bit too
much negative space so I wanted to add these cool little connector spots on all
of the golden pipes so just add those and add their highlight and then add a
drop shadow. Time to paint your gears in your forehead so I am separating the
copper just with black because I figure it would be easier to do it that way
instead of adding all the little branches manually on the little gears
and then add the tiny little nubs just by tapping the edge of a detail brush
down and it creates a perfect little shape. I'm repeating the same process on
both gears and adding stark highlights with whites that I just blend out and
soften with a wet brush fill it in with black and do the same to your
headspace. I covered my eyelid with a lid thing just make your eyelid silver okay?
And then do some dances! Outline the edges of deep plates that will make up
your facial structure just with a dark silver color now I'm creating a couple
little rivets because I thought they look cool. My favorite part is when I go
in with my BH Cosmetics 120 color eyeshadow palette specifically with my
gray color and go along all of the edges of the pipes to really make them recede
because I do want this to be a skin illusion. It'll basically just look like
someone carved out my skin but there's no gore so there'll be like little
ledges of the skin and the flesh and all of the machinery is buried beneath my
skin. Keep your shadows concentrated darker by the edges as close to the edge
of the skin as you can get and then it will feather out and gradually fade the
further away from the ledge that you get now I'm just darkening up the drop
shadows on all of the robot panels since where they would get cast a shadow. Using
my Wolf skins palette for the medium color, I created a basic ledge shape and
then added a stark white on the upper portions of the carving to really make
them pop and then just blend them out with a wet brush to make the skin ledges
look 3-dimensional. Add a highlight on the center and then sort of feather it
out with a wet brush to really sell this illusion. Though it's important to go in
with a dark brown in selective areas add a little bit more white to your skin and
blend it out. I didn't want to leave my other eye naked so I decided to go over
it with a silver eyeshadow followed by a copper NYX eye shadow and feathered them
out and made them just look a little bit more natural, as natural as metallic
eyeshadow can and then I used a gel liner to create some dramatic wings or
wing as it's only one one eye. Add a little bit of your favorite mascara I used Marc
Jacobs and then I covered my skin with some foundation and then decided to use
Tarte blush just to liven up my skin up a bit
and then I used matte lipstick by NYX that was sort of a metallic ii cobalt
color that was just perfect with all of the silver pipes i just applied that
like you normally do with lipstick and then i decided to press a little bit of
copper eyeshadow into the center because i really thought it just brought the
whole look together. And then powder your foundation.
