dark eyes and dark lips

Dark lips and eyes

Before creating smoky eye and red lips inspired makeup look I firstly searched for some makeup looks which I could use as an inspiration for my own interpretation.

I chose this image due to liking how the face was contoured, its subtle and doesn't take the focus away from the eyes and the lips. The eye application is smoky and really brings out the blue eyes, the colour has great depth but isn't too dark. The lip application is very bright and brings the audience attention straight to the lips.

Before crating  a dark eyes and lips inspired makeup look I firstly created a face chart inspired by the image. Firstly I used my illamasqua sculpting powder to contour the face then used the illamasqua blush powder to apply colour to the cheeks. next I used the deep red from my Kryolan lip pallet to add colour to the lips I then used my black eyes shadow from my kryolan pallet to add an outline around the lips. Next I used a black from my illamasqua neutral pallet to highlight around the eyes and a cream from my reflection pallet to highlight underneath the brows. Finally I used my fine liner brush an my black supracolour to add detail around the eyes.

I chose this image as an inspiration for my own interpretation of dark eye makeup, I really how the eye application has been applied, the metallic brown colour brings out the eye colour an also draws attention to the brows. The contouring on the face Is also soft and compliments the eye makeup. 

I created a face chart inspired by the dark eyes style of makeup. Firstly I used my illamasqua sculpting powder to highlight the convex areas of the face. Next I applied a black from my illamasqua neutral pallet around the eyes using me blending brush. Then using the brown from my illamasqua neutral pallet I blended the colour into the eyelids using my rounded blending brush, I then used the white from the illmasqua neutral pallet to highlight under the brows. Finally to bring out the eyes I used my black supracolour and fine liner brush to create some lashes and act as a eyeliner. Finally to complete my makeup look I used a nude from my camouflage pallet to add application to the lips.

I really liked the outcome of my face chart I felt the eye makeup application really brought out the eyes and I also contoured the face chart well.

victorian hair inspired by gothic horror

Victorian hair inspired by gothic horror

Lesson summary: learning three different hairstyle techniques which relate to the Victorian era and are also inspired by gothic horror.

 

Health and safety: be carefully when using the curlers to create the Victorian inspired hair be careful not to burn yourself or the clients scalp due to the appliance being hot.

 

equipment :

hair pins

curlers

paddle brush

dolls head

sectioning clips

pin tail comb.

 

In order to create set style curls, firstly create a side parting using the pin tail comb.

The curl the two sections of hair at the front of the head to the temples this is usually about three curls on the side with the centre parting and two curls on the other side.

when curling the sections firstly create sharp sections using the pin tail comb situate the curlers at the end of the hair pull the section of hair up to create volume and roll the curlers towards the scalp and towards you, making sure the curlers are straight otherwise this will cause a dip. Once enough heat is applied to the hair remove the curlers gently and apply two hair pins to keep the curls in place.

 

Once the front section is curled to about the temples, then curl the back section of hair using the same technique but curling the hair under using the hair curlers. The first curl should be situated on the crown and curled under. Due to creating curls on the crown the next section of hair will be split into two sections and creating two curls this is known as brick laying. Once you have created two curls due to the shape of the crown create one curl underneath carry this technique out until you have reached the neck.

 

Finally the in order to create curls using the side sections of hair which will spiral round the face, section the hair and carry out the same curling technique this time pointing the curlers towards the face, once heat has been applied to the hair slowly remove the curlers an secure in place using hair pins. Carry out this technique until the whole head I covered in set curls.

 

The photograph shows my first attempt at creating the hairstyle due to applying the curlers in the wrong direction my curls appeared slightly different. However I carried on with my first attempt to see what the hairstyle would look like in the end ad when I created other hairstyles such as the old maid

 

The next hairstyle which I created was the old maid hairstyle which was inspired by the Victorian era and also gothic horror. Once I had created all the set curls I firstly had to remove all the hair pins .Next I took the two side sections of hair and twisted the hair around the head, I then secured the twists in place using hair pins. Next I roll the bottom section of hair up and tucked the hair under securing it in place using hair pins.

Finally the top section of curls I backcombed slightly using my pin tail comb and situated the curls around the face create a pin tail curl effect I then secured the curls in place using hair pins.

 

I was generally quite happy with my first attempt at creating the old maid style hair, considering I curled the set curls in the wrong direction I think the hair style still works well.

Here is a photograph showing the side view of the old maid hairstyle. The photograph shows the sculpted curls at the side of the head which a secured in place using hair pins I feel this really relates to the Victorian era .

The next hair style week created was the sleek curls hair style. In order to create this look I had to firstly remove any hair pins from the previous hairstyle. Then using my paddle brush, brush the hair under and over using my hand as a tool t hold the hair in place.

 

I was generally quite happy with the outcome of this hairstyle considering I curled the set curls in the wrong directions, I feel the hairstyle still works and looks very sleek.

Finally the last hair style I created was the messy style curls, due to the hair being brushed out in the previous hairstyle I had to shake the hair in order to add volume to the hair and make the curls bounce back .

I found this hairstyle worked conveys an element o gothic horror and is easy to create.

In my own time I decided to have a second attempt at the Victorian hairstyles inspired by gothic horror, after making several mistakes when creating the set curls in my technical hair lesson I was able to see where I went wrong and correct the mistakes in my second attempt.

I was generally quite happy with the outcome of the set curls, I felt the hairstyle overall looked neater than my previous attempt, I also felt more confident with what I was doing during my second attempt and also felt the sectioning was a lot tidier.

Here is my second attempt at the Old maid hair style, I carried out exactly the same technique as my previous attempt however I felt due learning from my mistakes in my first attempt and curling the hair in the right direction the hairstyle overall looked a lot neater .

This is my second attempt at the sleek gothic hairstyle, I felt this one looked a lot more sleek and very different in comparison to my first attempt, this was due to learning from my mistakes when creating the set curls and curling them in the right direction in my second attempt, causing hairstyles which include this technique to have a much better finish.

This was my second attempt at the final hairstyle where the curls were shaken into place, although I curled the hair in the right direction in my second attempt which I didn't In my first I preferred the outcome of my first attempt I felt e hair had a lot more volume and due to the curls going the opposite way it also helped to give the hairstyle a gothic edge.

gothic horror makeup

Gothic Horror Makeup

I created a variety of different face charts and makeup inspired by other gothic horror designs which I researched.

I recreated a gothic horror face chart by firstly using my fine line brushes and my red black and white from my supracolour pallet to create the mouth .
Once I had created the mouth and the jawline using the same products I then used my blending brush and my kryolan eye shadow pallet to highlight the cheekbones and the temples the nose and the jawline line, the colours which I used were red, grey , brown and black.
Finally to completed my face chart I used a gothic horror makeup image which to use as a guideline and used my black supracolour and a fine makeup brush to create a gothic pattern around the eyes.

I was generally quite happy with the outcome of my first face cart, I felt I could see an improvement on my line work particularly around the eyes in comparison to makeup from my first semester and I felt the colours I chose worked well together.

I found this image as an inspiration for my gothic horror face chart  particularly the style of eye makeup and the pink colour used to highlight the cheekbones.

This was another gothic horror style of makeup which I found inspirational for my first gothic horror style of makeup . I incorporated the application of makeup around the mouth area onto my own gothic horror face chart . I also felt the style of makeup would work well together with the first image I found in order to recreate the eye makeup.

On this face chart I wanted to focus on the style of makeup which is used to emphasise the eyes, in order to create a basic gothic horror look, I used the black  from my kryolan pallet and a fine brush. to apply colour to the eyelids. I then used a light brown from my kryolan eye shadow pallet to highlight the cheekbones and a red and black from my supracolour pallet which I mixed together to create a dark red to apply to the lips to complete my face chart.

 Once I had created my gothic horror face chart I wasn't very happy with the outcome, I felt overall the style of makeup looked quite plain even though the gothic style of makeup is supposed to be quite plain  and pale with dark lips , perhaps the style of makeup could have appeared more complete by applying more colour and more of a design to the eyes, or maybe using colour from kryolan eyeshadow pallet to the eyes rather than supracolour.

I found the eye makeup in this image inspirational and decided to recreate a similar style of makeup onto a face chart in order to convey my understanding of what is gothic horror.

In order to create a gothic horror inspired face chart I firstly used my a white and black from my supracolour pallet to create different shades and tones in order to highlight the mouth area. I then used the black from my supracolour pallet and a fine brush to around the eyes and on the nose to create a skeleton look. In order to complete my design I finally used the white and the light brown from my kryolan eye shadow pallet which  I applied using my rounded blending brush to apply more in depth colour to my face chart.

I was generally quite happy with the outcome of my face chart, I felt the style of makeup shows how I have improved on blending colours into the face.

I used this gothic horror makeup image in order to create a skeleton style makeup, I really like how in depth and effective the makeup looks.

On this face chart I wanted to keep the make up simple but add design to the face. In order to bring out the eyes and the cheekbones I used a pink and purple eyeshadow from my kryolan pallet. In order to create the cobweb design situated on the forehead I used a fine brush and he black from my kryolan pallet. and finally to complete my makeup design I applied a deep red which I mixed together using a light red and black from my supracolour pallet to the lips.

I was generally quite happy with the outcome of my design I felt the colours I had chosen demonstrated gothic horror and also worked well together however  I found it quite difficult to add fine detail to the face particularly when attempting to create the cobweb design .

I used this gothic horror style makeup as an inspiration to creat a gothic horror style face chart, I like how the eye makeup has been applied and the cobweb design applied to the centre of the forehead

In my own time I decided to recreate my own style of gothic horror makeup with inspiration from self taught makeup artist Elsa Rhae. Firstly I started off by using a fine line brush and my black supracolour to sketch the mouth , teeth and tongue onto the lower half of my face and my neck and the , I then used my white pink and black to apply colour to the mouth. I then used foundation from my pallet to apply colour to the jaw which I had also sketched out using my fine line brush and black supracolour. finally to complete the mouth I applied blood to the teeth and lower part of the jaw. Next I used black supracolour and my fine liner brush to make me features appear more cartoon. Finally I used a grey from my eye shadow pallet and my blending brush to apply more in-depth colour around the mouth.

I was generally quite happy with the outcome of my final design, especially the jaw area. I feel I could have maybe add ore design or colour to the area around the eyes however this could have maybe made the design look a little too over the top.

Here was my inspiration for my gothic horror makeup design ,by Elsa Rhae. I really like the use of colour in her design and  how she has made something which can be considered as cartoon look really realistic.

In my own time I decided to create a skeleton style of gothic horror makeup. Firstly I applied a white supracolour to my face to act as a base and then blended the product into my face to look more even using my buffer brush, using a grey frm my eye shadow pallet by kryolan I then applied colour to the convex areas of my face. Using my black supracolour and my fine line brush I them sketched out the cracks applied colour around the eyes and nose and sketched the mouth and teeth Finally to complete my design I applied white supracolour to create the teeth.

 

I really like the outcome of my final design I feel I have made an improvement on my line work and have blende the colour into the face well. However the only thing I feel I could have improved on was perhaps making the circles around the eyes more even.

 

In my own time I decided to create a wound using techniques from my technical lesson with sue. Firstly I applied cinewax to the area and made sure any rough edges were blended into the skin. next I used my spatula to create a slit mark down the wax .Then I applied latex overtop of the wax and dried under a cool heat. Once the latex was dry I then used a coloured foundation which matched my skin and applied it to e wound and around the area. Next I applied wound filler using a spatula to the cut . Finally I applied blood to the cut and spread the product using my spatula.

 

I was generally quite happy with the outcome of my wound I felt the product was blended in well to the skin, there wasnt many rough edges and I feel I have de a big improvement in comparison to my first attempt. 

I also carried out the same process as my previous wound but on my leg I felt this attempt went better and looked me realistic .

Victorian hair for TV and Film

Early Victorian hair for TV and film

unknown. (unknown). pride and prejudice. Available: https://www.pinterest.com/janeaustenhouse/pride-and-prejudice/. Last accessed 17/3/15.

The Jane Austen book' pride and prejudice which was published in 1813 explores the use of the early Victorian hairstyles such as the centre parting and the sculpted ringlets situated to the side of the head particularly in the 1995 version.

After watching the 1995 interpretation of the pride and prejudice it is noticeable the Elizabeth Bennett the main character and her sisters are wearing a bonnet to complete their centre parting sculpted ringlet hairstyle this makes the Victorian women appear elegant. Once the bonnets had been removed it was noticeable that the characters hair were styled into a bun which was usually plaited, this also conveys to the audience what Victorian womens hair was like in the early Victorian era.

It is noticeable that the men in the film such as Mr Darcey who falls in love with Elizabeth Bennett, wear top hats as an indication of wealth, the oversize sideburns are also an indication of the early Victorian era, supported by usually curly locks or a side parting.

The 1995 pride and prejudice trailer is a strong source of evidence to support early Victorian hairstyles .
The ballroom scene I feel is the strongest part of the film to convey the early Victorian hairstyles, the five sisters hair is styled into a Victorian bun with oose curls and a floral kind of accessory incorporated into the design.

I chose the film pride and prejudice 1995 due to it clearly portraying the use of early Victorian hairstyles such as the centre parting and the side curls for women along with the side parting and slightly longer locks for men.

 

 
 

Late Victorian hairstyles for TV and film

 
 
Sherlock Holmes which was published in the 1800s was later released as a TV series and film. The 2009 interpretation of the novel can be considered as a more modern take on the late Victorian hairstyles. After looking at character Irene Adler who was played by Rachel McAdams it is noticeable to the hair is become much more elaborate, the centre parting has disappeared and the sculpted curls have shifted from the sides of the head to the back. Many of Irene Adlers hairstyles are also completed with a style of hat which portrays her wealth.

After Analysing the Sherlock Holmes film poster it is noticeable that the modern take of the late Victorian hairstyles became shorter and more groomed as the period came to an end. Hairstyles were often accompanied by a moustache sideburns or beard which was shaped neatly. Men often accompanied their hairstyles as with hats as did women. The tall style top hat which Sherlock Holme's assistant is seen to be wearing also portrays wealth in the Victorian era.

I chose the film Sherlock Holmes 2009 due to even though it being a slightly more modern interpretation on the late Victorian hairstyles the audience can still clearly understand the period of time in the film in relation to the hair .

I also really like how the hair in the film has been styled I feel it works well in relation to  characters and their costumers for example Irene Alders elaborate curls completed with a wealthy floral style of hat and Sherlock Holmes assistant short crew cut hair completed with a top hat a groomed walrus moustache.
