ASSESSMENT - Miss Havisham

Part 1

The first assessment was nerve raking but also really exciting; For my take on Miss Havisham I had always wanted something a little different so picking Ky who has a deeper skin tone was unconventional but also really great for developing my own take on her. The make up is simple; accentuating her natural youthful face to look much older with a mix of concealers and powders. 

The assessment though itself actually went quite well, I felt like I believed my character, almost like she wasn't actually wearing makeup and it was just her face; the whole idea of the project for me was creating the realistic. Much like if Miss Havisham existed she wouldn't be made up at all.

The lip affect was to create a dry dehydrated lip I used Eyelash glue which was a risk because it would be hard to create again but I think the finished detailing looked good, Dry chapped lips. Yum.

Part 2 

The follow up for continuity was a couple of weeks after the initial Miss Havisham assessment. Not only was this a good idea because it meant that we would have to learn continuity but it also meant we could practice the looks again before re showing them. 

On the day I redid the makeup there was a lot of pressure for me because of course I'd never done continuity before but as a student make-up artist studying all the different aspects in makeup continuity would be a necessity; also the gothic horror title the is also "Makeup in motion" as we are looking at gothic horror in television and learning how to create wounds and other aspects of the topic. The makeup itself went okay comparing to the original shoot there are minuet changes but I wouldn't of expected it to of been perfect as I'm still clearly learning. The makeup itself was simple but realistic as thats what I had always aimed for. I love how tired Ky actually looks with the shades of concealers I put under her eye. Its a shame the white in her hair didn't really pick up on camera as it aged her even more.

The biggest mistake and most annoying thing I did was I FORGOT MY VEIL! the main prop in the entire look... I was not happy with myself but couldn't do anything at the time.
