-Georgia- 18- Female
Combination Skin
Pale Complexion pink undertones
no Allergies to products

Equipment:
Cleanser, toner and moisturiser.
eye primer
Illamasqua’s Translucent Powder
Cream Shadow 
flat brush

Method:
1- Prep the skin using cleanser, toner and moisturiser.
2- For a smooth base use an eye primer. I used Urban Decay shadow primer potion. 
3- Powder under the eyes heavily, using a powder puff, so that excess eye shadow is caught.

4- Using Precipice from the Illamasqua reflections palette, press all over the lid to give shadows something to hold onto.

5- Choose a colour scheme that gives a mid, light and dark for the lid, inner and outer corners of the eye. I chose the Illamasqua Neutral palette. 
6- begin with the mid colour, mine being Vintage, and paint the whole lid, blending out with a blending brush. 
7- Using Obsidian (my dark colour) on the outer corners of the eye and under the water line, blend out to create a smokey effect.

8- Apply the lightest shade to the inner corners of the eye. I used Stealth.
9- Using your chosen liner, mine being liquid, draw along the upper lash line. A flick is optional.
10- Finish the eyes with either mascara or lashes.
11- Brush away any excess powder. 

Optional-
12. With an angled brush and colour matching your models brow colour, fill in the eyebrows. Sticking to the natural shape of the brow.


13. Using the lip rouge mini palette, an angled brush and colour LC010 I filled in the lips. 


How To: Contemporary Victorian Hairstyle (Inspired by American Horror Story)

Equipment:
Paddle Brush
Tail comb 
Curling Tongs
Hair Grips

Step by Step:
  1. Using your tail comb, put the hair into a side parting, making sure there is lift at the root. 
  2. At the front on the side of the parting, take two one inch sections, about the width of the curling iron and curl them all away from the parting. Do the same to the other side but with three one inch sections.
  3. Secure these with hair grips.
  4. Take the section just behind the front curls, with a width of about three curls (three inches) and curl it horizontally and downwards. 
  5. Below that take a section about six inches wide and split into tow and curl both sides. 
  6. Using three inch wide sections, now curl the rest of the way down in the middle of the head. 
  7. With the hair left at either side, take sections and curl towards the face, securing all with hair grips. 




Creating an Up Do 
8. After the curls have cooled, remove the hair grips but leave the five main at the front. 
9. Brush through the curls to loosen them.
10. Trying to hide the grips as much as possible, pin the curls to the bottom of the hair.
11. make sure the hair looks like it has some lift by using the tail comb.
12. Take the grips out of the hair in the front, creating a wave against the head. Then pin in place.




Down Do
8. Take all of the hair out of the grips after the hairs cooled. Using an over and under motion, smooth the curls with a paddle brush. 
9. On the front sections of both sides of the partings, push the hair so it goes back and then curls back on itself.
10. Make the hair fall where you like, making the curls in the same direction clump together. 
11. back comb the roots for extra volume.

12. To finish off the look add a bit of shine spray.

Creating light scaring, using moulds how to attach to the skin

This practical involved using pre made wounds to create scars on the body. 

Consultation notes:
-Georgia- 18- Female
Combination Skin
Pale Complexion pink undertones
no Allergies to products

Need:
cleanser 
toner
baby buds
ProsAide adhesive
supra colour palettes
ultra foundation palette 
wound filler
bloods
Gelatine pre made mould
mould 
witch hazel
translucent powder

1. carry out consultation notes.
2. clean the area you are going to use with cleanser and toner. 
3. cut round the edge of the "wound" leaving some rough edges.
4. Apply ProsAide to the wound and to the area on the skin you are apply the wound. Wait until it all turns clear and tacky otherwise it will not stay in place.
5. Apply the wound to the skin making sure it is stuck on properly.
6. using witch hazel on a baby bud start working the edges of the wound into the skin so it blends. 
7. Then powder the "wound"
8. If the wound isn't the same colour as the clients skin, then you can use the ultra foundation as a base to match them up. 
9. using a spatula you can now add wound filler to the wound. 
10. To make the wound look sore you can use the supra colour palette on and around the wound.
11. you can also use the baby bud to apply fake blood to the wound. 
12. Finally it is optional to use a paint brush to flick blood onto the wound for a splattered effect. 


I'm not usually comfortable with prosthetics but I feel that this was quite a successful first attempt. If i was to re do this look I would make sure the wound is blended into the skin a little more, although I feel it could look like the skin is dry around the wound. 

Creating Estella

During our assessment we were not only being assessed on our design and skills but also on our etiquette while creating these looks. We had to make sure we took note of our consultation notes of the model, our face charts, hair charts and any other pictures we referred to had to be put up on the mirrors. I also had my hair and make up kit set out ready and the bags put out of the way so my work area was clear. Finally I placed my wrap over my models shoulders and I was ready to begin. 



 To begin the make up I cleansed, toned and moisturised the models skin. I used my Illamasqua primer as a base. Using a mix of the ultra foundation palette and colour FS 38 and 070 from the supra colour palette I created a pale foundation base for the skin, making sure to take this down the neck and onto the shoulders, as well as onto the ears and blending into the hairline. Using my Mac 109 and the colour 101 from the blusher palette I contoured the temples, cheekbones, jawline and nose. Using my Illamasqua Brow cake in Gaze and my Kryolan 9806 I lightly filled in the brows. I then cleaned my Kryolan 9806 and used a mixture of LC007, LC005 and LC004 from the lip rouge mini palette to fill the lips. Finally using the Ben Nye palette I created the bruises on the eye, neck and shoulder, adding 8 hour cream I made the bruise look swollen. I then used a palette knife and red and purple from the Ben Nye Palette to create the "scratches". I then used Illamasqua translucent powder on the areas of the skin that only have foundation to set the look. 
I was really happy with how the the make up went for this look, I think it was a good way to show the character in a different light. This was definitely my favourite look to create so far in the gothic horror blog. 

To create the hair I first brushed through the whole thing to get rid of any tangles. I then sectioned off the front of the hair just behind the ears and clipped in place. With the remaining hair I put into a high ponytail. Taking 2  inch pieces of hair I then hair sprayed each section and then curled the hair. Taking one of the front sections and half it. Taking the bottom half, brush from the root and curl the very ends. Using a grip pin the curl next to the ponytail, making sure the straight part is slick to the head. With the top half curl the ends again, hoop the hair round and pin above the ponytail with the decorative clips. Finally hairspray the look to keep and stray hairs down. 
My model has a lot of thick, long hair and we had a time limit so it was hard to recreate the look exactly the same as they would do in the mid-late victorian era. I new it would take too long to curl the whole hair if it was down so I put it up first. When I added the curls from the side I think it gave the hair a new dimension and I like how it turned out in the end. 
I was happy with my over all look and think that it was a good representation of Estella during her marriage. 

Miss Havisham Continuity

These are the images from my Final Assessment. To be successful at the continuity I had pictures from my first assessment as well as my face charts. I was happy with how my second assessment went and I feel that it is very close to my first exam. The only thing I was uncertain with is whether the skin colour matched the first and whether  I put enough dry shampoo on the roots of her hair. 









Miss Havisham First Assessment

My first assessment went well and I made sure to take close ups of each section so that my next assessment is exactly the same. I made the look simple so that it would be easy to re create however still being true to the characters description. 
For the wrinkles I followed the face chart, using my mac 207 to blend them naturally into the skin. I wanted them to be noticeable but barely there. 
 The lips will be the hardest to replicate. First I put the duo on the whole lips and waited for it to dry. I wanted to keep the rips quite large so that they would be easy to copy the next time round.  
I need to make sure I take the white right into the root on the brow. I also need to keep the red in the same area and the lines in these exact places. 


When re creating the hair we have to make sure every step is exact. I parted the hair using the middle of her nose as a pointer. I also sectioned off the front just behind the ear so I would be able to repeat this exactly the next time. The rest was pretty simple, I just need to take into consideration where I put the dry shampoo, where the bun was and how long the curls are. 



I will re practise this look before my final assessment to make sure I can make the difficult areas an exact match.
