Dirtying down, how to break down an artist/models make-up. Dirt, stained teeth, and dirty hair
I took the make up off, added moisturiser to
hand, supra colour dirty the fingers. Make sure you bend the fingers so you
don't get the lines. And In between fingers, palm of hand and make sure you go
in between fingers. Krylan or Brandell spray over the hand. Teeth- dry tooth
with cotton bud. Colour tooth with bud. Keep mouth open to dry. Methey spirit -
dip baby bud. Use supra colours and mix and blend on the face. Reds use spittle
sponge
I made sure gown was on model, hair was out the face and my area was clean and tidy. Lookig back at the picture I should have stippled more with the sponge as the stubble looks blended in too much. I like the effect the tooth brings to the look. I enjoyed dirtying down. This is perhaps something I will do on m Quentin character.

Dark Eyes and Lips
Symmetrical lips
Put base over edge of lipsCupid point highest point of lips
Go from corners and head towards top
Can place gloss in middle and blend out
Can highlight 1-3 shades lighter above lip
To check if lips are symmetrical get hand mirror infront of model then look from behind
Demo
Don't overload your brush
Foundation over lip edges
Smokey eye - strong glamour look
Cotton bud, water
Dip brush in water then dip in eye shadow so you won't get fallout
Start from crease line making the shape then under lash line
Fill in entire lid join under eye
Go shape different dark grey over crease
Water in white in corner inside under lash line
Blend with more colour dry
Blend out harsh line
Use bud to blend out corner
Blend in the inside
Can use powder and water for eye liner
On the mobile can add glitter and shimmer
Glamour smokey eye
Principle of three colours
With brown powder shadow create shape
Mid tone over whole lip
Make line strong
Try not to get a pointy wing effect looks dated. Make nice round shape
Whatever the main dark colour creating shape and depth always being it down
Blend with bud
White on brow bone
White over mobile lid middle
Make sure liner disappears in lash line
I really like the colour of the bold lip as it suits my model. I may use this in my final design. I also like the look of the smokey eye. I would like to try this and add glitter on top for a more glamorous look.

Creating light scars using moulds, using colour
- If your making loads of moulds can put tiny Bit of Vaseline. You want a dry mould.
- Pour melted gelatine in
- Can put gelatine in fridge
- If ever filming in the summer leave in a cool bag. Do not leave make up in car or hot place
- Stick on prosthetic pieces with Prosaide
- Clean area of skin your gunna stick prosthetic on
- Do not moisturise area your gunna stick anything on
Clean piece of skin. Make sure it is dry
Get Prosaide with baby bud
Get glue to the very edge of the prosthetics
Put on prosthetic piece
Roll on edges pressing down on skin
With gelatine with water to melt edges away
Make sure you blend your colours out
If it's an old wound powder it
Then colour in - reds yellows etc
Can use wound filler
Powder when dry not when your making it
Looking back at the mould you can see the edges where the prosthetic piece starts. So if I was to create this again I would blend out the edges much more with water.

Something edgy, unnerving
Once my model had cleanse, toned and moisturised I applied Ben Nye foundation mixed with more moisturised.
I went around two shades lighter to contour her cheekbones, jawline and temples with my contour brush.
I highlighted with white foundation over her nose, under eyes and forehead.
With my powder brush powdered over this with translucent powder.
I like how the base looks here. Its very simple and I haven't gone too pale.
Brows- start at the root underneath going up
Middle of eye at the bottom lowest point
Start in the middle going out
I did this using my Mac brown eye pencil. If I was to do this again I would spend more time on this and use a blending brush.

Estelle
Evaluation
For my Estelle design I used a Mac liquid
foundation that matched my models skin tone. I applied special effects to this
look by giving her a bruise on her left bottom eye. I used yellow, purple and
then red from my supra colour pallet. I applied this using a small brush and
also dabbing this on with my finger. Her lipstick was quite a dark pink.
Although I see her lips looking very natural, I wanted her lips to show up on
the black and white photo so I went a few shades darker than I would have if it
were colour.
For her hair a barrel curled the whole head
except the front and pinned them in. Whilst taking them out I back brushed each
section for volume. I then created a French pleat style at the back. For the
front I originally planned to finger wave this by wetting the hair. This did
not work so well when I attempted it so I instead wrapped them in a roll and
pinned them out the face.
I like my over all look for Estelle even though
my finger wave plan did not work. I like the effect the Vaseline brought to the
bruise to make it look more swollen so it is shining on camera.

Recreating Miss Haversham
Evaluation
This was my second attempt at creating Miss
Haversham. I applied the same products and techniques here I used in my first
try. I didn’t find the make up too difficult to recreate because my look was
very simple. The pale foundation is the same and the contouring looks to be in
the same place. I think I also managed to get the same lip colour again.
Looking at the images of the hair I notice some
slight differences. It was difficult to get the exact strands in the right
place. If I were to do this look again I would spend more time with the hair,
looking at my images from before trying to get it exact. I would use my pintail comb to make the side of her hair come out more. Overall I feel the
images are very similar and I am pleased how it has come out.
