My three final face charts...
My final design...
My final design...
This face chart was my final design that I chose to be my final look. As I have mentioned below I chose this look quite quickly as the image below really caught my eye when I first came across it, I just knew I wanted to include a lot of outgoing colours on the face rather than going for the predictable, subtle Elizabethan interpretation.
This particular image inspired me a lot when it came to designing both the hair and make-up for my final exam. I really liked the alien/futuristic like essence to that the image has and I think the smokey eyes paired with the blending of colour has a strong and striking vibe to it.
Second face chart...
This is my second face chart I created from my three final designs. This one was inspired from the image below. Again I didn't want to copy the image but I included elements of it like the dark lip paired with the pale face. I really liked the combination of the two. The also inspired me to include a flower head piece. However I was going to style the hair so it would be featured above the flowers rather than just worn down. My hair is naturally very straight and has no real volume or life to it. I considered crimping It to add texture to look but I think this would have looked to boring and easy so I aimed to either include padding and create a large structured featured at the top of the head or crimp the hair to create texture and height. I think this hairstyle would have made the makeup much more impactful.
During the process of creating the face chart I struggled to come up with two other options because I was so set upon the image I had originally chosen. I think I should have experimented more with both of these looks rather jumping to one conclusion because I think these could have been just as successful as my final design and they probably incorporate more Elizabethan references and techniques than my chosen image.
Third face chart...
This particular face chart is one I produced when we were set the task to design two face charts inspired by the paperself lash workshop we did in Lara's seminar. The image I've included underneath was my main inspiration when constructing this look. I didn't want to make a replica of the image because I wanted the design to be my own creation. So I focused on the feathers as my main point, they were what caught my eye in the first place. I loved the fact that they had crowned the feathers along the eyebrows portraying a black swan type look. I thought that this would be a great contemporary element to include in my final design. I aimed to add onto the feathers so that they could be linked or attached to my hair design almost creating a headpiece that combined the two.
However my design would differ to my inspired one as I intended to include orange highlighter to brighten the face but this would be seen on top of a white foundation base, a common Elizabethan trend. I think the white and orange would have worked really well together because the white would be the traditional element and orange would give the white some added depth and warmth, making a more contemporary make-up version. I also wanted to add an obre blue lip lined with a dark blue then a light blue in the centre. The eyes were also going to be different as I aimed do a Smokey eye effect but only using different shades of blue to colour coordinate with the feathers. The feathers in my image are more blue and green rather than just a selection of dark and light blues like in the image. I thought this would compliment the orange and white base better.
