Final make-up

After previously both conducting our independent ideas upon the make-up to use upon the villain within our piece, we discussed our ideas and have decided upon an idea. We wanted a pale face used, although the eyes and lips highlighted through the use of bold make-up. Here is my final idea of our make-up:

As I am playing the villain within our piece, I will probably conduct the make-up on myself. I will use:
  • Talcum powderon my face, as this will create a ghostly, death-like affect. I will look extremely pale from this
  • Dark, coal eyeliner on my eyes, with maybe some liquid eyeliner, as this will emphasize them. Using lots of black will give me a ghostly, hollow look
  • Purple and blue eyeshadows - used under and around my eyes will achieve a death-like look. It is the typical norm for ghouls and corpses to almost appear bruised around their eyes, therefore we will follow this trend.
  • Mascara - this will also emphasize my eyes. If we can find any false eyelashes by Sunday this would be more ideal, as they will appear even larger, but we are unsure at this time. We may also draw some eyelash affect strips around my eyes, to give myself a doll-like appearance
  • Eyeliner on my lips - as we don't have access to black lipstick, we will result to black eyeliner. We will draw a small mouth in the centre of my mouth, so I appear to be constantly pursing and pouting my lips. However, I will appear even more ghostly and almost ill.
  • My hair will just be down and straightened, and possibly slightly messy, as this is not our focus. We also want to achieve a little girl stereotype, so long wispy hair is ideal for this. Also, it needs to be down as before her face is revealed, the character's locks will fall our of her red cloak.

Here are examples of how we want to lips to appear, taken from google images:


They show various images that feature quite similar make-up likewise to ours, such as the use of the make-up on the lips. The various use of lips - such as the Edward Scissor Hands and first Lady Gaga example - are ideal to our piece. I also like the Edward Scissor Hands and the second Lady Gaga make-up effect, which is a combination of our ideas. Added to this, the paleness is ideal. The use of dripping blood from Lady Gaga's eye is an added idea to our piece, as this is effective and works well.
