Miss Havisham...
This is my first shoot creating my Miss Havisham look.
Overall everything went to plan when creating my look however I think my design ended up looking much more contemporary than originally anticipated! A lot of my peers created a much more light, in complex design of her character.
I had only attempted my hair design once including the flower head band. I thought it might look slightly to modern due to it 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 her how she looked on her wedding day. I wanted her to still look quite elegant and pretty but with a more gloomy, decrepit version of this.
The crimped hair worked out to be much more effective than I 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.
