ESTELLA HAIRSTYLE 

My inspirational image which led me onto my final design - 

My final design practice - 

This is a hairstyle i am planning to improve and eventually use as my Estella look. I feel this hairstyle will work well as it is elegant soft ad girly which is what i want my Estella to look like when it comes to my final outcome from my assessment. I have sectioned the hair and curled each section. I have then went on to pin the curls at the centre of the head going down. For the timed assessment i am going to place 6-10 tiny flowers around the curls to make the hairstyle much more pretty, elegant and sophisticated which was what you saw Estella to be in the film and what Charles Dickens made Estella to appear in the book as she has boys under her finger by her charming good looks.

My final design - 

For this hairstyles i sectioned the front part pf the hair about 2 inches from the hair line and seperqated the hair into two sections creating a middle parting. I then went on to curling each piece of hair going into the face instead of going outwards so that the hair would frame the face. At the back i formed a point tail at the middle/back of the head and braided the hair to form a bun pinned down into place using a variety of hair grips and pins. If i was to use this in a look i would add a hair piece, flowers or ribbon to assessors the look and make my look much more appealing and interesting to look at.

Creating light scarring

Creating light scarring - 

Below are two different images of scars, the left a light scar on the cheek using latex and foundation. To create this look i collected many images of the internet of different scars to see what a mixture of the different scars and have an idea in my head of what i was aiming to create. I then went over the scar with a light colour of foundation to add texture. Once i applied the foundation i started to experiment with highlighting and shadowing areas to make the scar realistic.

MY FINAL OUTCOME - 

Scar on cheek - 

This then led me onto create g one on the lip as i had a a few minutes left of the lesson. I decided to experiment with different areas such as the lip. The lip i found much more challenging as it was difficult to make a dip in the lip and making sure it was secure. I then used a small makeup crush and used my supra palette and added some swelling and patches of soreness around the incision.

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.

Hair - For this design i curled the entire head all the way around making sur eno pieces were left at the bottom or sides. i then sectioned the hair into three sections. top, middle and bottom. on each section i grabbed the hair from either side and brushed through to make it smooth, i then placed the curls in the centre of the head making the curls only go down the middle of the head. I did this for each section however when it comes to my assignment i found using a damp comb or hairspray helps to smoothen out the sides instead of the messy, un neat look in the photographs below. I added many tiny flowers spreader around the curls to make my design much more appealing and elegant.

Makeup -

Overall, i am not happy with the way my makeup look came out. It is far too heavy and gives of the wrong atmosphere and emotion i wanted to give of. I am going to change my design to a much more simplistic bare faced natural look. Using a warmth tone of foundation instead of pale, and very little eye makeup to keep the eyes bright and fresh and a natural colour on the lips and cheeks.

Evaluation - This is my final image for my second look of Estella. I made a folder with all of the original images from the first shoot to follow and made notes or which way i curled the hair. Making sure each individual url was the exact same as the previous time. I then fractioned the hair into a grid of 9 sections to make sure i placed the braid and bun in the same place. I found this method very helpful as it made my look much more precise and helped with continuity.

 My final outcome- makeup

Evaluation - 

This is my final outcome for the first timed assessment creating Miss Havisham. I wanted 'Miss Havisham to appear tired, sore and weak. By creating grey eyelashes to show how she has aged and dark under eye bags to show exhaustion of her life. The lips i have added a dark colour onto the crack where i have asked my model to scrunch her lips up, this gives of the effect of cracking and soreness. The eyes i used mainly brown and red colours to give a sore tired and weary look. Wrinkles i have placed on her forehead, under eye and  frown of the mouth.
