Always use actual makeup. And use older makeup brushes to apply since the blending on paper can sometimes be rough on the brush and you don't want to ruin your good brushes.
Colored pencils. Makeup does not show up the same on paper as it does on the face, and applying it can also wear on your brushes and waste product. And lip glosses and lipsticks eat the paper over time. Seriously, the oils bleed and you end up with a ring around the lips. Makeup can also smear on paper...not a good look when presenting your look to a designer.
Using makeup is more of a MAC trick, great for a retail environment, but when working on runway, you need a chart that will hold up and demonstrate colors more accurately. That, and colored pencils are much faster to work with. If you're not good with pencils or just really love using makeup on your face charts, I guess that's when makeup is the answer. The pic in the post I linked is colored pencil. Still looks great after a couple years!
google it... they give you several options images you can print right off like mac and bobbi brown ones plus ones you can pick the frame kind of like your own personal
I actually create my own face charts for my clients or companies I'm working with! Maybe you can try that as well! *heres an example of one I did for a male fashion show*
I found the MAC template by just googling MAC face charts!! Im not sure if that was the answer you were looking for though hahah.
But I always use real makeup with Q tips not my brushes, *** except in the case of mascara, lip gloss, and brows. those i use pencils for ***

You can do a google image search for face charts and use a face that you like. I personally do not like the drawing of the Qosmedix face chart.

@Jordan...what kind of colored pencils do you use? Would it be the regular crayola ones or is there another type?
Feb 25, 2012
Jordan L.
Doesn't matter. Prismacolor makes the best shades and has the widest range of colors, but any large box of colored pencils will do;)

Ok..I'm using crayola and they aren't really blending that well so I wondered if artist ones would be better. I'm going to check those out. Thank you!

I have several templates that I use and I print them on white Cotton (resume) paper so that they absorb the makeup. I mainly use them when giving lessons to my clients or if I am story boarding a photoshoot. Here are a few links to get some different face charts:

Some of these you have to click on them to make them full sized, and then you can right-click to save them.

Whenever I'm at MAC, Inglot, or even cosmetic counters I'll ask for a few and I've never had any problems getting a few face charts. :)

I think if you google it then look in images there should be a bunch. And then just print them out.

Google Images ...?

When you google face charts click on the "images" tab. Should be on the left.
