Colour theory - This is a body of practical guidance to colour mixing and the visual effects of a specific colour combination.
Colour scheme - This is the choice of colours used in design for a range of media. Colour schemes are used to create style and appeal.
Colour wheel - A colour wheel is based on red, yellow and blue. The circular diagram was first developed in 1666 by Sir Issac Newton.
There are three different categories of colours based on the colour wheel these are primary colours, secondary colours and tertiary colours.
Primary colours - These include red, yellow and blue and these three colours are the three pigment colours that cannot be mixed or created with any other colours.
Secondary colours - These include green, orange and purple which are the colours that are created by mixing the primary colours.
Tertiary colours - These include yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green and yellow-green. These colours are created by mixing a primary and a secondary colour together and this is the reason for tertiary colours being a two word name, e.g. red-purple.
Colour harmony - colour harmonies or colour chords are a number of colour combinations that are pleasing to the eye.
Colour context - This is how colours behave in relation to other colours and shapes.
Face Charts
Achromatic - This category only consists of black, white and grey and the definition of achromatic is "free from, or without colour". Together I used a variety of make-up products to create the look I desired. These included black pepper eye-shadow from Kryolan, black supracolor by Kryolan, the colour black in Illamasqua's neutral palette and a black mascara to define the lashes.

Monochromatic - Monochromatic is using one colour but with a variety of different shades. The colour I chose was Pink and the make-up products I used were Annatto and Chive blossom eye-shadows by Kryolan, pink supracolor by kryolan, the pink powder blusher duo by Illamasqua, the Kryolan blusher palette and a black mascara to define the lashes.
In class my friend Antonella used my face chart as a guidance to create the same look on myself and I did the same back, I created the look she designed on her.

Complementary - Complementary colours are colours which naturally complement each other. They are made of two colours which are opposite to each other on the colour wheel. The two complementary colours that I chose were Blue and Orange. The make-up products in which I used to create this look are turmeric eye-shadow from Kryolan, blue supracolor by Kryolan, my new blue coral eye-shadow by Kyrolan which I recently brought from Charles Fox and a black mascara to define the lashes.

Analogous - Analogous colours are colours which are next to each other on the colour wheel. One colour is used as the dominant colour and the others are used to develop the design. The colours I chose to use are Pink/Purple and Purple/Blue.
The make-up products in which I used to create my look are my blue coral Kryolan eye-shadow, blue Kryolan supracolor, Annatto and Lavender eye-shadow by Kryolan, Kryolan blusher palette, Illamasqua powder blusher duo and a black mascara to define the lashes.
