Kryolan Camouflage Concealer Palette
Kryolan Brilliant Colour Palette
Illamasqua Translucent Powder
Kryolan Blush Palette
MAC Lipmix (Black)


How to:
1. Prep the skin. Cleanse, tone and moisturise to create a clean, even base.
2. Prime the skin with Illamasqua Matte Primer. This will even out the skin. 
3. Mix the lightest shade of foundation from the ultra foundation palette, along with Illamasqua white skin base. Focus on the centre of the face, and blend out using a buffing brush. Make sure you cover the ears and neck, to give the look of a natural collection. 
4. Set with Illamasqua translucent powder. 
5. Contour the face with the Kryolan Blush Palette. Build up the colour with the Brilliant Colour Palette, (light brown and dark brown, with hints of grey and black). Work into the eye sockets, jaw line and cheek bones. The aim is to hollow out the face. 
6. With a small angled brush, work into the natural lines of the face with a light brown from the Brilliant Colour Palette. Create the look of wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, and lips.
7. Blend the lines with a small fluffy brush. 
8. Apply Black MAC Lipmix with your finger, in the centre of the lips, and blend out. This is not supposed to look clean, so blend out. 
9. Apply White Skin Base to the eyelashes and the brows, to age them.

I want to communicate the idea that Miss Havisham is rotting away inside her own body, she is close to giving up on everything that she has. Her whole life is now dedicated to using Estella as a weapon against all men, and after that is complete, it is her time to go. She is essentially waiting to die. I have used a dark palette to create this look, to portray the element of Gothic in the design. I have enhanced the natural wrinkles of the face using dark greys and warm browns, to keep them as natural as possible rather than theatrical. I have used a contour brush to softly blend out the hollowed eyes and cheek bones on my partner, which also makes the look more realistic. By ageing her further with white eyelashes and eyebrows, this helps to place her in the timeframe. I am going to spritz her hair with dry shampoo to make it dusty, as well as backcombing and letting the curls drop. 


Miss Havisham Hair Style Practise

Products:
-Pintail Comb
-Paddle Brush
-Hair bands
-Hair Grips
-Curling Tongs
-Dry Shampoo

Method:




1. Section the hair into two horizontally across the head, from just behind one ear to behind the other. 
2. With the section of hair at the back of the head, begin a plait from the centre of the back, then wrap the plait around to create a bun. Pull parts of the bun out, to create a dishevelled look.
3. With the front section, create a severe, clean middle parting using a pintail comb.
4. Curl the hair tightly at the sides of the face, so that the curls fall on the cheeks and finish at the chin. Backcomb these to create a messy effect.
5. Spritz the hair with dry shampoo, building up around the roots.

Here I practised the look as a whole, including the hair. By doing this, I know now how the hair ties the look altogether. I have pulled some strands of the hair out of the bun to make it look messy and uncared for. I am really happy with how my idea is moving forward, and am very happy with my final design. I have been able to communicate the Gothic and the emotions faced by Miss Havisham through this look, as I want people to empathise with her.
