Miss Havisham Make-up Practice

This is my first solution to creating my Miss Havisham design with my facechart below and my first attempt at creating it on myself above. I've decided I'm going to slightly change my design my changing the lip colour to a slightly more natural bluey purpley toned shade and add duo glue to make the model's lips appear dry and flaky as miss havisham's lips would after keeping herself locked away from the world for so long. The lashes and brows will be grey instead of black and red eyeliner will be used in the waterline of the model's eye to give the appearance of sore and tired eyes.

Miss Havisham Hair Design Practice

I had the opportunity to practice my design on Sylwia Mazur in class to determine what I would have to adapt and perhaps change for the assessment day. My model that I would be using on the day also has very long hair so it gave me a chance to visualize my final idea. 

In the top image you can see that I've put half of the hair up in a band and curled it. I then looped the hair into a bun shape but not a perfect bun shape as this was not a victorian hairstyle. The curls have then been taken up into the the bun shape and left to hang at the back of the head with the front section curled and pinned back also and parts left down onto the face. I was so pleased with the outcome of this practice! 

Rashes, Dry Skin, Pale Palour

Products you will need:

Duo Glue or Old age stipple for dry skin
Kryolan coloured hairspray for dirtying down hands
Tear stick for watery eyes
Water Spray
Tuplast
Sponges
Fullers Earth
Vaseline
Translucent Powder
Tooth Enamel
Dry Soap for dandruff
Dry Shampoo to age hair and dry hair
Brill Cream for greasy hair

Dirtying Hands

• Moisturise the hands thoroughly 
• Ask the model to bend the knuckles to ensure you can apply the products all over the hands
• Use the coloured hairspray to dirty the hands using different colours such as dark brown, black, light brown etc.
• Rub the product into the hands and powder
• Spray on some water to move the products around on the skin until you have the desired effect

Rashes 

• Use your Supracolour palette and flick a dark or light red onto the model's face being careful of clothing and also of the eyes so ask your model to close them. 
• Powder the skin afterwards to make it appear as if the rash is coming from within and is part of the skin
• If you wish to create freckles use a light or dark brown colour to flick onto the face,

Pale Palour

• Pale down the skin not using the a white base but with a lighter shade with slight colour,
• Pat some duo glue onto the lips, ask the model to keep their mouth closed.
• Pat some duo glue also onto the skin with your fingers and allow to dry.
• For the eyes use a sepia brown or a bluey (tired) colour around the eyes, you could also use red eye drops or a red eye pencil in the waterline to add to the look.
• Rub away the duo glue on the skin and on the lips and it should come away as if the skin were peeling. Add red to the skin for the skin to appear sore. 

Cuts, Bruising and old Scars

Products you will need and could use:

• Wax - plasto or cinewax/moulding wax
• Latex
• Tuplast - creates old scarring
• Collidion 
• Bruise Palette - Old and New
• Wound Filler 
• Fake Blood
• Selaer 
• Old Age Stipple
• Pus
• Duo Glue 
• Spatulas
• Fixing Spray 
• Barrier Cream 
• Vaseline - for black eye
• Cotton Buds
• Sponges
• Mixing palette

1. Cover your model as latex can stain and damage clothing

2. Mould wax on back of hand to soften and warm the product.

3, Apply to desired area and blend edges to make it look like it's part of the body.

4. Make sure the edges are blended keeping a bit of height in the centre for your cut.

Cover wound with latex making sure the edges are blended well as when its dry you dont want the latex or wax to show on the skin as this will ruin the effect.

5. Dry latex with cool setting 

6. Use spatula to cut the centre to make the cut 

7. Fill the cut with wound filler, fake blood etc.

8. Add pus 

9. Use bruise wheel or supracolour palette to make the surrounding skin appear damaged.

Bruising 

1. Depending on what stage the bruise you are recreating is at you'll need to use the correct colours and the placing of the colours is very important. 

2. Use the bruise wheel very lightly as the colours are very strongly pigmented so using less is more as it makes it appear more realistic and you can build the colours. 

3. Vaseline can also be added to make the bruise appear new and sore.

Old Scars

1. Rub barrier cream onto the area 

2. Paint the area with collodion (remember that collodion is very strong so if near eyes or mouth be very cautious).

3. Bend the skin in the direction of the scar, hold and dry on cool setting of hair dryer. 

4. Build up the layers and dry again.

5. After a couple of layers the scar should appear.

6. You can also add some colour that would be suitable for old scarring.
