From Evernote:

Astrid - repainted for the love of the hobby - part 5

So I finally got around to paint her face.

As usual I got my 2:1 1:2 mix - that is, I mix foundation with shadow, and work my way up to lighter color...

that was a mistake. 

In the past I used to do 2:1, then 1:1, then 1:2 mix, so between each shades I got 3 different successions, but I thought since I thinned down the mix so much I can get away with one mix less...

I put this shot in because her skin looks smooth, and this actually is very close to how I look at her with naked eye

The result of one less mix, is that her expression is a lot more intense, giving the impression that her feature is more pronounced and therefore a more intense look...

ho well lesson learned.
