Experimenting for look 1: The Killer

FACE CHARTS

For this face chart I have paled down the face to a porcelain shade. By paling down the face I think that this gives the make-up an immediate ill look about them which will be a good look for my killer as they are found underneath a bed where there is no sunlight.

I have also made the eyes look bloodshot for a scary effect on camera which can be done by dropping a special product for the eyes that is inserted like prescription eye drops but has a red tone to it making the eye look sore.

There are sequins on the lips for some texture and to make the look more fashion orientated.

I have based the main focus on being around the eye area and lips on this face chart with bold black shapes and shadowing contouring the face.

The lip is solid black with a touch of silver shine on top in the centre area of the lips to make the lips look fuller.

I have made this look the same as the one above but have added sequins to the lips so that it will give a better effect on camera and make the look more interesting. I like the way the black shading on the cheek bones contour the face as it brings shape to the face also making it look mysterious 'in the shadows' as the killer is led in darkness under the bed.

HAIR

 

 

I have tried out this Mohawk afro hair style based on my research that I have done to help myself create this look. I have pinned the hair tightly into a pony tail and then crimped the pony tail and left it to cool. I then backcombed the crimped pony tail into a large afro and pinned it at the front back and in a straight line at the sides to create the Mohawk. It contrasts well together going from being sleek back tightly to being loose and wild on top. This gives a great texture and creates a great look when caught on camera.

 

 

STYLING

 

As I wanted to keep this look dark, mysterious and sexy, I have chosen to style my model in all black clothing. I chose a leather look material for a sleek look which will capture well on camera. I also added a lace chocker to wear around my models neck to make the neck seem longer making her look odd and creepy. I like the way that I have styled my final look as I think with the hair and make-up it will make it look fashionable and seductive.

 

 

 MODEL CHOICE

 

 

 

When deciding on my model for my first look I wanted to find a slim size 8 model that was confident in front of the camera and willing to pose. I was able to ask my friend Lauren to help me out and model for me as I think she is the perfect model for my designs.

 

 

 

 

TEST SHOOT

 

 

I went through a test shoot for my final make-up design so that I was prepared for when it was time to do my shoot. I'm pleased with the outcome of the make-up as I think it worked out better than I expected. I am pleased with the scale and accuracy of the eyebrows as I was worried about getting them even and looking symmetrical.

I didn't practise the hair style on my self as I had already done this on my dolls head.
