Final Evaluation....


Final Evaluation...


I kept my Estella make-up design quite simple due to her character mainly being represented as a classic beauty that is seen dressed in expensive long dresses paired with a flawless complexion and perfect make-up. However even though we commonly saw Estella presented in this way I chose to create her less glamorous side unfortunately. Towards the end of the novel we find out that she has married a horrible, heavy handed man. So I decided I wanted to include a black eye and cut lip in my final design. I also thought the juxtaposition between both the formal, clean, sleek hair paired with the opposing make-up was quite interesting visually. 

 Most of my peers chose to create her well-known, beautiful appearance however I chose to do the second but a very light interpretation of her unfortunate beat up self. I only included one quite faint black eye on her right eye with a cracked, bleeding lip. I definitely feel the coloured versions of the images look more effective than the black and white which is unlucky as the aim was to have to black and white images, a profile shot and a side shot.


Overall everything went to plan when shooting my first Miss Havisham look. However I think my design ended up looking much more contemporary than originally anticipated! A lot of my peers created a much more lighter, minimalistic design of her character where as mine included details such as a big, colourful flower headband sat on top of a huge hair structure.  

My Make-up design was quite subtle, I produced a light base to convey her lack of sunlight and applied a heavy brown on the eyelids and under the eye to create an aged, tired expression. The lips were covered using Duo eyelash glue with red supra colours on the top to form a cracked bleeding lip effect. Overall I think my design was quite successful however my make-up design lacked detail compared to my hair design which occupied most of my assessment time.

I had only attempted my hair design once including the flower head band as I had practised the shape I planned to create on the day a few times during our hair seminars with Seema. I thought the flower band might look slightly to modern due to its bright colours but I didn't want to dye them or make them look more grotesque when the rest of my design was already quite grim and dark. I always thought it was important to include a pretty and feminine element in my interpretation as her appearance is based on how she looked on her wedding day. I wanted her to still look quite elegant and pretty but a more gloomy, decrepit version of this. The crimped hair worked out to be much more effective than previously planned which was lucky as I only decided to this at the very last minute as I didn't know whether it would suit the flower headband.

However after prepping the hair by crimping it, it was much easier to style during the assessment. I back-combed the hair, heavily then pulled it through the headband and then pinned it up in a similar way to the French pleat but a much more informal version. Due to prepping the hair beforehand I was left with more time to focus on the make-up which I felt I could then concentrate and relax more on due to the extra time.

 Both my Claudia and Quentin design went as planned. I enjoyed creating my Claudia design more than Quentin as I am more familiar with working on girls, however I found researching for Quentins look really interesting as I didn't realise how many varied looks I could create. 

 For my final Claudia look I chose my skeleton inspired design. The hair was a very simple, sleek, wet look with a central parting to suit her femme fatale persona. The make-up however was more complex. It consisted of a lot of shading using black shadow which a lot of the time would leave fall out on the lighter, white skin areas. The final design really came together in the final shots as the dark, heavy make-up against a white, bare wall really helped give the design a lot of depth and shadow making her look a little more evil.   

 My Quentin design was a little easier to decide on compared to my Claudia. I knew from the beginning that I wanted a quite handsome, well  groomed looking male with some added Gothic horror to  match her crazy character. I kept the hair quite simple again similar to Claudia's. Using wax I created the same sleek, wet look effect but kept a quiff in the fringe at the front, I also coloured it all in blue as I thought the juxtaposition between the red face and blue hair really added to his rebellious, passionate persona.

Claudia inspiration...

Creating Claudia...

 I have to say I had much more fun creating my Claudia design design rather than my Quentin. I think this just came down to gender and the fact that any being a female myself I could relate and suit a look to Claudia easier than Quentin. I don't really have a lot of experience in working on male models either so I think this particular project was quite a challenge for me when it came to creating my Quentin design.

 I created four different face mask for Claudia all very different to one an other. Each is defiantly very theatrical with a different character linked to each one.

Hair inspiration moodboard...


At first I wanted a quite outrageous big, crimped hairstyle to go with my theatrical face chart designs however I decided to go with the complete opposite and instead feature a sleek, wet look style on Claudia. This simplistic hair will make her dramatic make-up much more effective and obvious.

Quentin inspiration...

Idea's and inspiration that lead to my final Quentin design...
Make-up inspiration moodboard...









Calvin Harris ft. Tinie Tempah's song 'Drinking from the bottle' was definitely my biggest inspiration when creating my devil inspired person. I wanted to do a red based evil look that would match my Quentin's 'bad boy' archetype and bad attitude. Red normally represents love and passion however my red still includes these connotations but paired with dark black make-up the over all feel turns much more evil, a persona you would be more likely to see in hell.

Creating Quentin...

Creating Quentin....
Face charts...
Alien/face mask Quentin.
Products used;
  • Base- Kryolan supra colour palette - gold shimmer. 
  • Lips- Kryolan supra colour palette- gold shimmer plus gold colour revolution glitter on top. (optional line with MAC brown eye liner pencil to exaggerate.)
  • Neck- Line the neck with black shadow creating shadow like seen in the face chart. 
  • Forehead- Using a sponge dab the end into orange and red colours in the supra colour palette. Use edge of sponge to create lined effect.
  • Eyes-  Black supra colour sponge on and apply black eye shadow on top.
  • Contour- using Illamasqua- disobey powder blush and supra colour-gold shimmer.





Devil inspired Quentin.

Products used;
  • Kryolan Supra colour palette- Red used with water and applied with sponger all over the face,neck,arm and hand as a base.
  • Black and red MAC lipmix used on the eye lids,under the eyes and on the lips.
  • Coffee MAC eyeliner pencil used on the eye waterline and around the lips.
  • Red MAC lip pencil used as lip liner.
  • Unknown eyeshadow palette- black,red and orange used on the eyelids.
  • Illamasqua powder blush- pink- used all over the face as second base then heavily used to contour the face.




Hair design...


Products used;
Blue, Body Shop hair chalk.
Shaping hair wax.
Pintail comb.
Hairspray- to prolong colour stay and hold shape of hair.

 My hair design for Quentin is quite simple like Claudia's. I created quite theatrical, outgoing make-up designs for them both so I thought a simple, sleek, wet look hair design would be the most effective due to its simpleness. I also added a blue chalk to the hair as I thought it was really effective against the red themed facial colour.




Applying the look....

 I chose my devil inspired look for for Quentin. It was difficult to decide on a final look as I thought the more simple looks on the males I researched were much more effective. However I thought I would take advantage of this particular brief as I defiantly prefer the more theatrical, over dramatic looks compared to the perfected well groomed ones. 

 I was aiming for a messy, unkept, boisterous effect when applying the make-up. This was difficult to portray through the face chart but I decided that my version of Quentin would be the stereotypical 'bad boy'. An archetype that is always attracting attention due to his handsome, good looks but is more or less always told not be trusted! This aspect also linked well with Claudia's paranoid side as she always suspects he's up to no good. 

 My Kryolan stipple sponge coarse-pore was very effective and useful when applying the look. I used it to apply the the red tear like marks under the eyes (using red MAC lipmix) and also added some just under the eyebrow to. I also used it to colour the nails and fingers, it helped create an upperclass dirt effect where the hand and arm look intentionally dirty/dark but it all ties in with the overall devil/careless/rough persona.

Lucas has light combination skin with no shown contradictions. 
He is a little younger so I ensured I used more gentle, sensitive skin products to avoid any irritation of the skin.
