Health & Safety:

Products Used:

Illamasqua Matte Primer
Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation
Kryolan Ultra Foundation Palette (Alabaster)
Kryolan Dermacolor Camouflage Mini Palette (D2, D4, D6, D14, D16)
Illamasqua Translucent Powder
Kryolan Glamour Glow Palette (Bronzing Summer)
Kryolan Viva Brilliant Colour Medley Eyeshadow Palette (Anis)
Kryolan SupraColour Palette (white & red)
Duo Glue
Metal Spatula
Disposable Mascara Wands 

Process of Creation:
1. Begin by cleansing, toning and moisturising the face.
2. Take a small amount of Primer and brush it lightly all over the face.
3. Mix together the skin base foundation with a small amount of Alabaster Kryolan foundation and apply all over the face, ears and neck, then blend it in so its not thick on the face.
4. Take a small amount of D2, D4 and D6 from the camouflage mini pallet and apply it under the eyes and over any contraindications on the face, blending it in, making the skin look flawless.
5. Take a small amount of Duo and dab it on to the top of the forehead, near the hairline as well as on and around the lips and leave it to dry.
6. Next brush some translucent powder all over the face and neck to set the base and make the face look powdery (dusty).
7. Take the 'Bronzing summer' shade from the glamour glow palette and begin applying it around the eyes (on the eyelid as well as under the eye to create the appearance of bags under the eyes).
8. Then use the 'Anis' shade from the eyeshadow palette and apply it in the creases around the eyes and the mouth to give more depth (bend the colours so there are no harsh lines).
9. Using the same shade of eyeshadow contour the nose and blend the colour to make the nose look more rigid.
10. Take a small amount of the D14 shade from the camouflage mini palette and apply it all over the lips. Then use the D16 shade on the corners of the lips to make the edges slightly darker.
11. Using the metal spatula, drag it along the Duo glue applied to the forehead to rip it so it looks like peeling skin, also do this to the skin around the mouth. Then get the model to press their lips together so the glue on the lips goes tacky and looks like dry skin.
12. Take a tiny bit of red supracolour and lightly apply it to the rips in the glue on the forehead and then blend it out so it makes the skin look sore.
13. Use a small amount of white supracolour and apply it to a disposable mascara wand, then use the wand to apply the white to the eyelashes. Repeat this same step for both eyes and also the eyebrows (use a clean wand to comb the supracolour through the eyebrows further).
14. Finally use a brush covered with some translucent powder and brush over the whole face including the lips so nothing on the face is shiny and the whole look appears dull and dusty.


 Evaluation:
Overall I was very happy with the final result of my makeup practise for Miss Havisham, I feel that the final look was effective for the character. However when I completed the practise I did the hair as well to ensure I could complete the entire look within the 2 hour assessment time and I didn't realise that the hair would take me as long as it did so I spent more time on the makeup detail meaning when it came to completing the hair I didn't have enough time. Therefore I need to complete at least one more practise so I can complete the make up look in as much detail as I have here but in a shorter period of time so I have more time to do the hair.
The only other issue I will have to practise with the makeup is making sure that the peeling skin I created using Duo at the top of the head and around the mouth looks exactly the same each time I do it so its the same in the continuity assessment, however this is just something I am going to have to keep practising before the assessment.
