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..
