RA Review Q4

Tone

-add gray or secondary color -monochromatic

Tint

-add white -monochromatic

mixing wax with cosmetics

-coordinate the color of wax with the complexion -various shades of wax are mixed until base cosmetic is matched -opaque cosmetic is blended over the top

Value

-measurement of white or black -monochromatic

subtractive method of lighting

-reduction of color through absorption -achieved by superimposing one or more colored media on one source -when light is transmitted through two or more colored media, only the one they have in common will be transmitted -main colors: yellow, cyan (blue-green), magenta -when main colors are combined white light is created -secondary colors: red, green, blue -when one color is subtracted it will create a version of primary colors Outcomes: -yellow + magenta=red -yellow + cyan=green -magenta + cyan=blue

additive method of lighting

-white light is produced by mixing 3 primary colors -if two primary colors are mixed, a secondary hue that is brighter than the other two will be produced -primary hues: red, blue, green -secondary hues: yellow, cyan (blue-green), magenta

highlighting areas

-white pigments -immediately after complexion cosmetic -prior to application of powder -sharp contrasts should be avoided

matching sallow

-yellow pigment -simulates translucent skin on older people

split complement

3 colors (complement + 2 adjacents) -complement of primary hue is not included -hues on either side of the complement are used best split complements are ones when mixed create the direct complement

double complement

4 hues (2 adjacent + 2 complement)

tetrad

4 hues (2 separated hues + their complements) -evenly spread on wheel

Intermediate Hues

Equal mixtures of a primary and secondary color -list primary color first -red-orange, yellow-green, blue-violet, yellow-orange, blue-green, red-violet

Secondary Hues

Equal mixtures of two primary hues. Each secondary hue lies midway between the two hues that produce it -orange, green, purple

Complements

Hues directly opposite each other on the color wheel; two pigmentary hues when mixed together produce gray -yellow and purple -yellow green and red violet -red and green -blue green and red orange -blue and orange -yellow orange and blue violet

Prang System

Pigment color theory that employs the color wheel -12 colors

Hues

The property of a color by which it is distinguished from another -actual name of color and found on the spectrum

Saturated

Vividness of the hue as compared to a gray of the same lightness -fully saturated-have a pure and vivid hue and is not changed in brightness by its complement -when two fully saturated complementary colors are shined on to a wall, they create white light

enriching hues in juxtaposition

any two hues that modify each other in the direction of the complements -complements enrich each other -non-complements enrich each other

Transparent liquid

has the ability of transmitting light through substance Pros: -quickly applied -does not come off from moderate -does not give pasty appearance -dries quickly -easily removed from hair Cons: -limited color choice -does not cover discoloration -can be dehydrating -does not cover wax well -collects in pores

after images

images that occur when a visual sensation persists for a brief time even after the original stimulus is removed

creating gray

mixing all 3 primary colors

Tertiary hue

mixture of two secondary colors or an unbalanced mixture of complements with the warm hues predominant -brown and gray (not on color wheel)

opaque cream cosmetics

not transparent/no light passes through Pros: -may help prevent dehydration -choice of thickness -covers discolorations -covers wax -mixes with wax Cons: -can look pasty -can color hair -clumps -rubs off easily -needs powder to dry -stains clothing

application of blush/rouge to warm areas

warm areas: cheeks, chin, ears, mucous membranes, men's forehead, hands (knuckles, fingernails, cuticles) blush on cheek: -young children have pat placed below the center of the eye -older children have pat placed between center of the eye and the end line of eye closure -adults have pat placed below the end of eye closure -elderly should be below frontal cheekbone and be faint blush to chin: -center of the chin blended up and out blush to the ear: -start at the top and blend down the helix and anti-helix blush to the forehead: -start at the frontal eminences and blend upward
