In Fenella's lesson in pairs we had to make up one side of the face as Miss Havisham (at our chosen point in her life) and one side as Estella. I did my Miss Havisham half as her the day after her wedding as a chance to experiment with techniques for my continuity assessment, and Estella's half as a basic Victorian beauty look. Here are my images:
For the Miss Havisham side I used a red blusher from our Kryolan palette to colour the water line of the eye to make it look like she was crying. It was a very bright red and looked unrealistic so this is when I realised I needed to play around with other pink and red colours in my kit to find a solution that made it look as if the model had been crying for days and the eyes look sore. After further experimentation I realised that using the rosy shade in the Derma Color palette I have (Shade name: D32) worked very well and created the effect I wanted.
With the Estella side I found that it looked too made us, everything needed to be slightly more natural (lips and eyeshadow) and the eyebrows a lot less obviously defined.
Make-up design practise
At first Maddy was supposed to be my partner for the Miss Havisham assessment so I began my make-up practise on her, but due to her not being able to attend the first continuity assessment I had to change to working with Chloe later on. In this lesson I began practising my final design idea on Maddy to see what went well and what could be improved with my design.
I was really pleased with how the tear streaks on the cheeks came out and thought the cotton bud technique was really effective. I decided that the mascara made the look too modern as Victorian people wouldn't have had mascara and make-up that appeared so heavy so I decided to resolve this buy removing mascara from my look completely. I liked how the D32 colour from Derma Color looked around the eyes as it made her appear very tired and sore around the eye area. I wasn't very pleased with the lips as they didn't look sore enough so I made note to apply more glue so there is more texture and so the lips can peel more and also add a number off different colours to the lips during my assessment so some areas can look more painful than others to make the effect more realistic.
Hair practise:
Here is my first attempt practising my hair style design for Miss Havisham. The only thing missing from this look is the flowers I am purchasing from Fabric Land to decorate the back of the style.
Now that I have practised both hair and make-up more than a couple of times I am confident that I can complete it within the time we are provided with, I am mostly worried about the hair as I have struggled to create curls exactly the same as the were before in each practise.
