Evalutation...
My first impressions of this project were intriguing and
excitement, but as I did more research and practical seminars, I began to
struggle with what route to take with a final outcome. As a developing makeup
artist I have discovered I love creating looks that are 'pretty' and I also have
a stronger set of skills when it comes to styling hair. This encouraged me to
design two final images that I enjoyed creating that also include special
effects techniques I have learnt this term. I did not enjoy the SFX unit as
much as I had hoped, but my two favourite products were the tuplast and use of
crepe hair on the face. I loved how the tuplast was quick and simple to use,
dried quickly and created a very realistic vein look. I also loved the
practical seminar I had producing fake stubble/beards/moustaches with crepe
hair, and as our class is majority girls, it was interesting to see females
with such an obviously masculine image. After designing and creating my looks I
am really happy with the final outcome, I love how they contrast each other,
one being very black and white, the other bright and colourful. On my black and
white image, if I could improve anything it would have been to make the bun on
my model a lot larger, but she had very knotted hair so I wanted to be careful
with it. On my colourful image I love the idea of making facial hair on females
look attractive and fun although I would make the side burn patterns neater if
I could re-shoot the image. Overall after a lot of thinking, designing and
creating I have liked this project and my final images, although I have
realised my I do not enjoy special effect makeup us much as other aspects of
makeup design.
Idea 2...
For my second idea I am going to adapt the skills we were taught with when creating facial hair with crepe hair. I'm going to take the idea from the film The hunger Games of the gamekeepers styled beard and pretend that if women were to one day have facial hair, how they would style it, and as we dye, cut and style the hair on our head in fabulous ways I predict women would do the same to the face. I will use primary colours and green they all blend well, and stick them onto the face, a widows peak on the forehead and swirled side burns as contour. I will have normal foundation, golden smoky eye, red lip and similar to my first idea slicked down hair in a centre part, then two large voluminous buns on each side of the head.

Idea 1...
As my first final idea I'm going for a very metallic monochrome colour theme inspired by the white/ice queens from the films The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Alice in Wonderland. My favourite product we were taught about and practised using was the tuplast. Although it creates a very simple effect, I love the simplicity of it, usage and result, and with a silver coloured over the top it will look amazing. When practising with it I created veins on the arm, I intend to do this over the face creating branches/veins as though if we could see our veins in a beautiful rather thang vulgar, masculine way, we would see them in a shimmering silver form, over a white base, metallic grey smoky eye, silver lips with a slight pink twinge, grey contour and a slicked up and voluminous up-do side bun on the top/side of the head.
