Colour Wheel

In the excitement of IMATS, I forgot about something I did a week or two ago.

I wanted to play with colour and instead of just picking some colours, I dug out my colour wheel. It’s just a small one that I picked up at Michaels, and it is a few layers deep with cutouts showing colour combinations based on colour theory.

A color wheel (also referred to as a color circle) is a visual representation of colors arranged according to their chromatic relationship. Begin a color wheel by positioning primary hues equidistant from one another, then create a bridge between primaries using secondary and tertiary colors.

I decided to attempt a triad. I’m not really sure how I feel about the end result, but I definitely had fun trying to figure out how I might make it work. The core colours used were three eye shadows from MAC; Red Brick, Violet Trance and Lime. Red Brick and Lime are both Pro items, and Violet Trance is limited edition (recently released with the Makeup Art Cosmetics collection).

Triad: Teracotta-Indigo-Lime

In terms of self evaluation:

• the inner highlight could have been blended more thoroughly
• sharper definition in the crease
• BROWWWWWWWWWWWS!   they have since been cleaned up, lol
