Earlier in the week we tested out different white bases that we all have in our make-up kits to see how they performed and what base would work best for certain aspects of our final Elizabethan make-up.
Illamasqua Skin Base in 01:
When applying skin base it didn't cling to any dry patches on the skin, which my model did have, and was good to blend into the skin to create an overall white wash on the face. However, when going back to see if we could build it up, as you'll see from the pictures nothing really happened it just blended into the previous white on the face.
Krylon Aqua Colour:
This was by far the worst base to apply out of the three we had to test out, you couldn't build up the colour as it just went streaky and the product just moved while trying to paint it onto my face. As this base is water activated I could feel it drying to my skin and it became hard as if I had applied a face mask and wasn't as weightless as the other bases. A plus we found with the base is it would be great for detailed work, as applying it in small strokes would mean you'd get that colour pay off without it going streaky which is what happened when applying it in a large area.
Krylon Super Colour:
Just like the Illamasqua skin base this product was easy to apply and it was an almost instant colour to the face. Unlike skin base you could build up the opacity of this base, but according to the make-up artist applying it to my face, it was very hard to move across my face and it had to be painted on not buffed as it went patchy on the skin. Another plus on this base was it felt weightless on my face, unlike the aqua colour it just felt like I had no product on my skin.
In conclusion, the Krylon Super Colour was the overall winner if you wanted that perfect white base for your Elizabethan make-up but all three would be great in different aspects of make-up, like the Krylon Aqua Colour it would of performed better if it was detailed work and not used as a face paint.
