Practice Look Of Miss Havisham (Hair & Make-up)

Make-up
Products/equipment needed:

• Kryolan foundation palette
• Supracolor palette
• Illamasqua translucent powder
• Kryolan eyeshadow palette
• Mascara
• Illamasqua blusher duo
• Illamsqua sculpting duo
• Disposable mascara wands
• Foundation brush
• Kabuki brush 
• Blusher brush
• Angled brush
• Eyeshadow brush
• Very thin paintbrush (size 0 or smaller)

1. Apply a fairly light foundations all over the face, neck and ears
2. Using a very fine brush, create the wrinkles and creases where required (the forehead, around the eyes and around the nose and mouth)
3. Highlight these areas using white from the supracolor palette 
4. Powder the whole face
5. Create a very light smokey eye, using the kryolan eyeshadow palette
6. Apply a thin layer of mascara to the top and bottom eyelashes
7. Create some light contouring on the cheeks
8. Apply blushed to the apples of the cheeks
9. Apply red blusher to the lips
10. Highlight the tops of the cheekbones and down the centre of the nose 

I feel quite confident on my make-up design and application and I feel that I have now practiced it enough to ensure that the wrinkles look as I desire and the look as a whole is what I wanted to achieve. 

Hair
Products/equipment needed:

• Pin tail comb
• Paddle brush
• Curlers
• Hair band
• Hair grips
• Veil
• Flower headband 

1. Section the hair into a 'T' shape with a middle parting - clip these sections out of the way
2. Create a high ponytail with the rest of the hair 
3. Plait this and then wrap around itself into a bun
4. Grip this into place
5. Curl the sides of the hair (in small, long and thin sections)
6. Grip the fringe under the curls to make a clear centre parting
7. Grip the veil in, just above the bun, threading the grips between the veil and hair
8. Place the headband on top 

One problem I did encounter was that my model was actually in the process of growing out her fringe; this meant it was too long to curl and keep as a fringe, but too short to blend into the curls at the side. Therefore, I decided to grip the fringe underneath the the curls to maintain the sleek middle parting and not intercept the curls at the side. I think this worked quite well, the only downside was potentially seeing the grip at some angles. 

When inserting the veil, I used the grips and threaded them into the veil and then into the hair - I felt this was the best way because it made the veil very secure and did not mean the grips were very noticeable. 

I was actually very pleased with how this practice came out because it meant that I felt prepared and ready for the assessment.. 

Creating Estella

Make-up

Products/equipment needed:

• Kryolan foundation palette
• Dermacolor concealer palette
• Illamasqua neutral eyeshadow palette
• LaRoc natural tones eyeshadow palette
• Translucent powder
• Illamasqua powder blusher duo
• Illamasqua sculpting powder duo
• Dermacolor lip palette
• Mascara
• Disposable mascara wands
• Foundation brush
• Eyeshadow brush
• Kaboki brush
• Small angled brush
• Contouring brush
• Blusher brush

My work station

I think this make-up look was successful and I was able to achieve the desired look - the make-up looked natural but yet made Estella look quite flawless, young and like a typical beauty of the era. 

Hair

Equipment needed:

• Paddle Brush
• Hair grips
• Pin tail comb
• A hair band
• Sectioning clips

I was very satisfied with this hair style because I think it has a very 'pretty' feel to it and is the typical style that would have been worn by a young Victorian beauty, such as Estella. I feel the actual shape of the style was effective, and I was able to hide the majority of the hair grips which was my main concern. If I were to recreate the look, I would potentially try to make the curls in the fringe slightly tighter and neater, but I do not think Estella's hair would have been pristine and perfect because she was still quite young and so would've ruffled it up slightly. 

Final Images

Overall, I was actually very pleased with how my Estella character turned out - the hair was definitely the best I had done it so far, and the I thought the make-up looked quite authentic and fitted the era accordingly. I also managed to complete the look on time and to the standard that I wanted, so I thought the assessment went well and was successful.
