Miss Havisham theatre makeup plans

Miss Havisham theatre Makeup plans - 

My plans for Miss Havisham - 
Miss havisham herself is a bizarre gothic figure who is borderline on sanity and madness, the living world and the realm of spirits. she has characteristic of gothic and sensation fiction.


My plans for Miss Havisham is to make her appear very old, frail and weak, I am going to do this by adding red and brown colours under and around the hole of the ye making her eye lids pop and look extremely sore and tired. I will also use a pale she of foundation to show the weakness and illness of the character. To make Miss Havisham sore i am going to dry out the lips by making them very chapped and crisped. 




Miss havisham, is a gothic figure in Great Expectations by Charles Dickens who is on borderline of sanity and madness. Within films she is appeared to be much older despite being in her late 50's with.




Within theatre Miss Havisham is seen with exaggerated cheek bones, highlights and shadows, wrinkly, yellow stained dress, raggedy, dehydrated skin and poor personal hygiene. She is a wealthy women living in a wealthy historical gothic styled mansion. She has no heart and is very withdrawn from the real world, people are made to feel sorry for her as she appears to be lonely and delicate.
