Gothic horror evaluation

I loved how much this project challenged me as I feel I have developed my skills as a make-up artist and knowledge of the industry. I also enjoyed learning about gothic horror and the Victorian period as I have always enjoyed history, so having it made relevant to my course is twice as interesting and satisfying.
One of the most challenging parts of this project has been the continuity. Continuity never really crossed my mind until I had to do it myself and has given me a whole new respect for the make-up and hair teams that work on TV and film productions as it is so hard and requires a lot of talent and practise to be successful at. If I could re-do a part of this project I would love to have another go at the continuity to see if I could make them more similar than they were. As I had never read Great Expectations before or watched any of the films and really enjoyed learning about Miss Havishams character in particular. I really enjoyed our special effects make-up lessons with Sue and hope to be able to continue in this area on the prosthetics unit next year so I can improve on what we have already been taught.

My favourite part of the project has been Claudia and Quentin as it gave us a lot of freedom and opportunity to create almost whatever we wanted. I really liked that we were given character profiles as it helped with the design process and made it more challenging at the same time. I wish this part of the project had been longer so we could have had more time to create even better design concepts and final photographs, however I am happy with my character designs and especially proud of my Quentin images. One of my favourite lessons was in Fenella’s class where we got to recreate a gothic inspired look from the catwalk as we haven’t had any lessons like this and I think everyone really enjoyed this because there was a number of looks to choose from. I also really enjoyed Lotties hair lesson where we got to create three looks inspired by American Horror Story. At the beginning of the course and even second term I was really unconfident with hair styling and struggled creating the looks we did in class but at the end of my first year I can say I have improved a lot in practise and become a lot more comfortable and find it really enjoyable to learn.

I am feeling really positive about second year and am looking forward to finding about the projects we are going to be getting are hands in to in the first term back. I am also really excited to find out which unit I have been given for our choices as I thought this was a really good way of letting us specialise in what we are really interesting in alongside our compulsory projects.

More dramatic shots that I took and edited:

I was really pleased with my Quentin look as its the first time I have worked on a boy so far at uni and I was unsure of how to approach the make-up designs for this particular character at first. I think the relaxed, normal nature of the  styling and hair contrast well against the crazy make-up. If I could do this again I would maybe choose a location such a heavily wooded area to go with the creepiness of the effect caused by the make-up, however I think the bottom two images work really well as they were shot in a garage with little light and full of cobwebs and a creepy hand print made out of paint which complimented the gothic style.

I was really pleased with how the hair and make-up turned out on the shoot, I think the look suited Jade so well and she had the perfect aesthetic to bring my Claudia to life. As she has such sharp, blue eyes I think the heavy, edgy eye make-up really makes them stand out and she already has quite thick eyebrows so they didn't need much filling in. I also think the nude lip works really well as it allows for the eyes to do all the talking while showing off and flattering her naturally full lips. I am glad I kept the hair and styling simple and casual like I did with Quentin also as it makes her more relateable to as the normal girl I wanted to potray her as, even though she lives in a crazy and unusual world.

Quentin practise

Here are my images of a dress rehearsal practise of my Quentin look.

Consultation notes:
Model - Daniel Newstead
Skin type - Fair, facial hair, dry
Hair - Not dyed, short
No allergies
No contra-indications

Equipment: 
- Brushes
- Kryolan supra color
- Matte Kryolan neutral eyeshadow palette
- Powder
- MAC shine
- Moisturiser
- Illamasqua white skinbase

Step-by-step:
1. Mix skin base and moisturiser and apply to models face, neck and ears to slightly lighten the skin.
2. Use an eyeshadow brush and a matte grey shadow and darken the eye area
3. Use a very fine brush and begin to paint veins on. I will use burgandy, red, white, blue and purple supra color for the veins. Slowly build them up by adding different colours and make sure not to forget the neck, hands and ears!
4. Once happy with the veins powder the face so the grease doesn't smudge
5. I then used a fan brush and a mixture of reds and black supra colour and applied it to the center of the lips and smudged it out a bit to look like dried  blood.
6. Add MAC shine over the eyelids to create a more feverish and clammy look.

Claudia practise

Here are images from my practise session on Jade, we practised my design until I was happy with the outcome and confident to create the look on the real shoot. We tried out making the eyeliner bolder and softer but decided it looked better bigger as it had a more striking look which I think looks really good on Jades piercing blue eyes.

Consultation notes:
Model - Jade Holmes
Skin type - Fair, combination
Hair - Mid length, dyed, brown with lighter ends, no problem with heat application
No Allergies
No contra-indictations


Equipment:
- Brushes
- Disposable mascara wand
- Mascara

- Kryolan foundation palette
- Loose powder
- Illamasqua Sculpting powder duo
- Black khol eyeliner
- MAC honeylove lipstick
- Gosh lip pencil in Nougat crisp
- Illamasqua pigment in Beguile
- Rimmel eyebrow kit
- MAC vanilla pigment

Step-by-step:
1. Cleanse, tone and moisturise
2. Apply a base all over the face to create a flawless finish
3. Powder the base
4. Contour using the sculpting powder duo by Illamasqua to give depth to the face
5. Highlight the cheekbones using the sculpting powder duo by Illamasqua
6. Define eyebrows using the Rimmel kit, first using the wax and then setting with the powder
7. Highlight the brow bone using Vanilla pigment by MAC
8. Take the disposable mascara wand and using the tip apply mascara to the lid in spotting motions and follow the usual shape you would if creating a winged liner using eyeliner
9. Apply lots of mascara to the top and botton lashes for a heavy eye look
10. Once the mascara is dry take a fine brush and using a dark grey matte shadow apply below the bottom lash line to help balance out the top lid
11. Use a black khol (sharpened three times for hygiene) and apply to the water line to create an extra dark look
12. Using the Gosh lip liner, line the lips ready for lipstick and then again going slightly over the lips natural edge
13. Take a lip brush and apply honey love by MAC to the lips beginning in the middle and blending it out
