Hair charts for Claudia


Dirtying down, how to break down an artist/models make-up. Dirt, stained teeth, and dirty hair




When are you seeing this artist?  How to make someone look like they have no make up on.       -Put base on and cream blusher. Waterproof type makeup. Grease blusher. Waterproof mascara. Fill in brows with eye gel, this doesn’t move. Use brown mascara.                                              
 
- Get them to have their eye lash extension                                                                                          - No lipstick!  Men wear little as possible                                                                                                  - What environment are they in?                                                                                                  - Makeup would ware off? What kind of dirt?                                                                                    - Can buy different muds                                                                                                                  - Hand would be filthy if you fell                                                                                                        - Dirt nails down                                                                                                                                 - Pull up sleeves make them dirty                                                                                                          - If trousers are ripped dirty then they will be inside                                                                       - Brill cream- good for making hair greasy. Make roots really greasy then pull them down to ends                                                                                                                                          - - - Dry shampoo to dirty hair down                                                                                                       - Tooth anamul - black, gold, white by krylan                                                                                     - Dry tooth you use it on with baby bud. Apply with a baby bud                                                       - Black on camera make it looks like it disappeared                                                                                 - The nicotine makes it look rotten
 
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


 This eye make up is what my teacher did showing me how to do a glamour smokey eye.



Symmetrical lips
Put base over edge of lips
Cupid 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.

4 Face Charts for Claudia

4 face charts for Claudia inspired by moodboard images









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.

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.




Cat eye - 
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.
