Look Book · the interactive half
Somebody built a world.
Here is what it asks of your face.
A Look Book describes light, formality, palette, period, weather and room. That is a complete brief for a table setting and half a brief for a face. This desk finishes it — against the profile you have already entered, so the answer accounts for your skin, your hours and your hands rather than an imaginary model's.
The world
Set from the Look Book, or change any of it. Nothing here is stored — the world lives in the address bar, which is also how a Look Book hands one to you.
Title
What the Look Book called this world.
Light
Daylight through a window and lamps in the room. The hardest to plan for, because the face changes as you move.
Formality
Palette
Venue
Still air, warm light, and a temperature that climbs as the room fills.
Weather
Period influence
Photographed
Phone cameras, mixed light, and no control over the angle.
Materials
What the face is next to, and competing with.
Hours in this world — 6
How long you are actually in it, not how long the invitation says.
This world
This world is mixed light, smart, and 6 hours long. In makeup terms that means an even face with one thing to look at.

The directions
skin
A middle finish — skin that reads as skin, with shine controlled rather than removed.
Daylight through a window and lamps in the room. The hardest to plan for, because the face changes as you move.
base
Light and worn thin. Spot work carries the coverage.
Nothing in this world asks for a full face, and a thin base survives a long day better than a thick one.
Otherwise: A full face applied at one weight is the single most reliable way to look like you are wearing makeup rather than looking like yourself in good order.
eye
Lash and brow, and stop. A worked lid is not what this world is asking for.
Relaxed and smart worlds are carried by skin and one point of interest. Two points of interest is where a look starts arguing with itself.
lip
Mid-intensity, in the palette's own temperature.
A neutral palette sets the temperature. Matching it is what makes a face look like it belongs in the room.
colour
Colour intensity: level.
Nothing in this light is pushing your colour around, so what you see is what the room sees.
wear
Plan for 6 hours. Set the centre panel, carry a blotting paper, and leave everything else alone.
Still air, warm light, and a temperature that climbs as the room fills. Temperate on top of that decides what actually survives.
The quieter version
Even skin, defined brow, and one worked feature. Everything else left alone. This is not a compromise — in most worlds it is the better answer.
The committed version
Take the colour up one step and add a second point of interest, keeping both in the palette's temperature.
A Look Book describes a world; this translates it into makeup decisions against the profile you have entered here. It is direction, not a shopping list, and none of it is a rule — a world you have understood is one you are allowed to disagree with.
