Illamasqua - loose powder to create dryness

Wrinkles-

Derma-colour camouflage mini pallet, colours D1, D2, D7, D10

For this look i was aiming for an exaggerated bold theatre look. I wanted to make Miss Havisham appear old, frail, warn out, weak and dry. I have done this by adding wrinkles, dark bags under eyes, sore red eyes, chapped lips and grey eye brows. To add theatre concept each aspect had to be well exaggerated , i have also enhanced the cheek bone for a more theatre look. I am also planning to use a grey mascara for the lashes to show age.



Hair- 
 For the hair i have section the hair into halves, the front half and the back. For the front half i have barley/sugar curled the hair and on the back have captured all the hair into a bun. For my final assessment i plan to assessorize the bun. The bun is held into place by using bobby pins. The parting is is in the middle and i have used a wet comb to flatten the hair down to show more of a victorian era look.





Evaluation -
Barely/sugar curls were very popular during the beginning of the victorian era by women and children. I am happy with the way this look came out and believe my overall outcome for my assessment will be successful by adding some victorian hair pieces around the bun.

My final outcome - 






Evaluation - 
I really enjoyed this lesson and found it very enjoyable to experiment when creating the burns and seeing the final outcome of mine and my classmates work. I feel my burn came out successful however feel i could make this wound seem much more fresh by adding fake blood and flesh coloured makeup instead of dark. The difficulties i faced when doing this was making sure the gelatine didn't dry as it would stick smoothly onto the skin instead of 3d and rough roughlike  so i had to work fast.

Makeup, Miss Havisham , Experimenting 2

Makeup, Miss Havisham , Experimenting 2


List of products used - 

Wrinkles - Kryolan pallet in a mixture of D2, D3, D9 and D11


Eyes - Illmasqua pallet in stealth, vintage, obsidian and wolf.

Images i found influential towards my designs - 
Within the images below which i have came across when doing my research. Both these images are of Miss Havisham at a theatre display. Within the two images of Miss Havisham below i love the way  the makeup artist has darkened the eye area. Within the first image Miss Havisham skin is smooth, healthy and glowing, her hair is curled however aged, furthermore in the second image Miss Havishams look is much more dry and dead with dry skin, unbrushed grey hair and her body seems much more crippled and weak.




My final outcome - 

For this lesson we had to choose between Miss Havisham or estella and decide which way you would like your character to be portrayed in, such as tv or theatre, beautiful or ugly. For my designs i decided to do Miss Havisham as i felt i understood her character much more. On the right side of her face i have done an exaggerated theatre look with dark eyes, wrinkles, exaggerated cheek bone structure and cracked lips however on the left side i have showed Miss Havisham in a much elegant way with bright eyes , smooth, soft face and fresh clean lips. Overall i feel i have done very well creating both opposites however feel i can make the final look much more overemphasised and much more realistic by blending in the wrinkles and showing much more soreness and dryness in the lips by using less of a liquid based product.

Evaluation - 
I have developed from the previous lesson by making the wrinkles less harsh around the eyes and forehead. I have used a black liner around the eyes however i feel adding a brown and red colour will make the eyes appear much more tired and sore. I feel i have done a great job on defining and blending the makeup on the cheek bones and created the dramatic theatre look i wanted. This week i am going to work on the eyes and lips until i find the desired look i want to achieve.

Hair, Curls and rolls - victorian hair

Hair, Curls and rolls



Pin Curls and Rolls - 
Within this lesson we were experimenting with creating rolls and pin curls. To keep both these hairstyles in place i used bobby pins. Overall i felt both these hairstyles came out successful as each curl and roll was very secure and neat. When creating the rolls i sectioned the hair individually around the top section from the forehead down roughly and inch. I then used a curling iron and once the hair was wrapped up i placed the curling iron sideways and held it in place for 10 seconds. I then released the hair and used my fingers to gather up the hair whilst making sure there were no fly aways. Afterwards i create the perfect curl and pinned it in place. When creating the pin curls i found it much more difficult to secure the hair as there was less of it therefore showing off the bobby pin. 


My final outcome - 




Hair, Barely (Sugar) curls- victorian hair

Hair, Barley (Sugar) curls



Barely/ Sugar Curls - 
"Barley" or "Sugar" curls is a popular victorian hairstyle starting from 1843. These curls are long and droopy that frame the face. Within this lesson i used a curl iron to create this style by sectioning the hair then starting from the bottom twisting the section of hair onto the curling iron until you have reached the top and holding for at least 8 seconds. I have parted the hair into a centre parting and curled both sides. At the back of thread i have braided the bun and created a bun held in place by pins. Overall i feel i have developed this skill successfully. 

My final outcome -

My final outcome - 



Evaluation - 

Here is an overall dramatic look of dry skin, the skin is very dehydrated and is lacking a lot of moisture therefore beginning to peel and giving of a very sore look. The struggles i faced was making sure i was putting on the correct amount of latex - not too much as it will be very challenging to peel of and create the dry look however too little wouldn't give me the effect i wanted to achieve.  To take this further i am going to experiment with all the different types of latex and experiment with each of the different textures i can create.

Evaluation - 

As you can see, applied to my face is a black eye, deep cut through the eyebrow, scared cheek and slit through the lip. Overall i feel the final outcome came out successful as each of the wounds are realistic and lifelike. With red, purple and yellow colours added to the black eye to show bruising with vaseline layered on top to show the whimpers of tears and soreness.

Week 1, Makeup,  Ageing


List of products used - 

Latex- this can be used to help make the skin appear dry and lifeless.
Dermacolour camouflage mini pallet
Supra colour palette
Cryogen foundation palette

How to - 

To create wrinkles you can ask your model to raise her eyebrows, this will show you the natural lines on the forehead making your look much more realistic and natural. To create cracked lips you can ask your model to pout, when pouting your lips crease this will also show you lines where you can add the cracks.

scrunch her nose
smile - frown

My final outcome - 





Evaluation - 

On the left side of my models face you can see where i have added the wrinkles to give an older look on the forehead , between eyebrows, under eye and ridges of the nose. To make my look more dramatic i feel i should have used latex to add texture and create highlights and shadows. For the lips i used a darker colour, however as time went on and experimenting in my own free time i found many ways to make the lips appear much more dry and fail by adding a powder to create a crisp dry look. Also by adding ad deeper colour into the cracks shows the individual lines and shows a sore look.
