Miss Havisham practise in class - make-up

Design:

Products:

• Neutral matte Kryolan eyeshadow palette
• Illamasqua/Kryolan blush palettes
• Derma Color palette
•  Kryolan lip palette
• Duo adhesive

I decided to make my final design for my continuity assessments a Miss Havisham very soon after she had had her heart broken, I think she is going to be Miss Havisham a couple of days after her wedding day. This means her hair will still be relatively neat in a typical early Victorian hairstyle with ringlets beside the face and a plaited bun at the back adorned with some little flowers, just a bit messy from sleeping in it and not as perfect as it would have been on her wedding day. She will have quite a plain face as obvious make-up was still frowned upon during this time but from all the crying she will have lightly red patches around her eyes and tear streaks all down her cheeks. As a nervous habit she would have bitten her lips  so that they will look very sore and crusty.

Consultation notes: 
Model: Madison Cotton
Skin type: Pale complexion, combination skin. Not allergic to any of my products. No contra-indications. 

Step-by-step make-up:

1. Cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin
2. Lightly fill in the eyebrows with a matte mid brown tone eyeshadow from a neutral matte Kryolan eyehadow palette
3. Using D32 from the Derma Color palette on a brush apply around the eyes and on the waterline to make them look sore and as if she has been crying a lot
4. Using the same eyeshadow shade using a light fluffy shadow brush add some of this into the crease of the eyelid so that it is barely noticeable
5. Apply a small amount of blusher to the center off the cheeks for a natural rosy effect.
6. Dampen cotton buds and wipe them down the face from beneath the eye and down the cheeks to make it look like the model has been crying
7. Using the kryolan lip palette, pick a pinky nude shade and apply to the lips just so they are slightly pinker than usual to make it look like the model has bitten lips
8. Take Duo Adhesive and using a cotton bud apply to the lips, make sure the model keeps their lips separated so that they don't stick together
9. Using tweezers pick at the glue on the lips so it looks like peeling skin

  


Make-up design practise At first Maddy was supposed to be my partner for the Miss Havisham assessment so I began my make-up practise on her, but due to her not being able to attend the first continuity assessment I had to change to working with Chloe later on. In this lesson I began practising my final design idea on Maddy to see what went well and what could be improved with my design.
I was really pleased with how the tear streaks on the cheeks came out and thought the cotton bud technique was really effective. I decided that the mascara made the look too modern as Victorian people wouldn't have had mascara and make-up that appeared so heavy so I decided to resolve this buy removing mascara from my look completely. I liked how the D32 colour from Derma Color looked around the eyes as it made her appear very tired and sore around the eye area. I wasn't very pleased with the lips as they didn't look sore enough so I made note to apply more glue so there is more texture and so the lips can peel more and also add a number off different colours to the lips during my assessment so some areas can look more painful than others to make the effect more realistic.
