In this image I used earth tones with pigment placed strategically on the face that I want to be highlighted. It is important when applying makeup that we pay attention to detail especially in photography as flaws can be magnified. I tend to examine the makeup from every angle to ensure that it is blended properly. A good tip is to study your pictures to see where you need to focus your attention, it can be quite revealing. Being your own critic is how you fine tune your skills.
When doing print work, one has to constantly strive for perfection. Also if you know beforehand that the picture will be shot in black and white whether on yourself or on the model, a good way to create definition is to contour the face. By contouring we create shadows on the face whether by using a darker shade of foundation or with powder. Contouring the face will add more dimension and character to the image, by creating for example a more defined nose or stronger jawline.
