Contemporary Gothic Hair

I have recreated this contemporary Victorian hairstyle inspired by Moira O'Hara. Her character is the ghost housekeeper for the Harman family. 

To recreate 'Moira' 

Paddle brush

Tail comb

Hairspray

Hair pins

Hair grips

Large curling tongs 

First I brushed out my Katie heads hair with the brush

Then I sectioned the hair into four parts and used the curls to create loose curls at the tips of hair

Next I brushed the curls out so that there was more of a wave effect instead of a curl

Using my tail comb I parted the hair in at the left side of the Katie head

I then began to twist one side all the way to the back of the hair line and pined in place with a hair pin

I repeated this on the other side and joint the two sides together placing anothe pin to hold in place 

I then added more pins to the hair to hold the style in place tighter

Spray with hairspray to hold.

Estella

Estella

After completing my formal timed assessment for Miss Havisham, I then had to choose to recreate either Pip or Estella. I chose to recreate Estella and used Martina as my model. I would say in my opinion that this task was probably the easiest, as Estella's look in 'Great Expectations' is very much like a traditional Victorian woman. Through research at the beginning of the semester I learned that woman from the Victorian era frowned upon make up and normally it would be associated with woman of the night.

I chose to do my version of Estella how I saw her in the film and BBC series, Quite natural looking and very tidy hair.

• Primer
• Foundation
• Natural blush
• Nude lip colour
• Hair bands
• Hair grips
• Pin tail comb

• Cleanse and moisturise
• Apply primer
• Apply foundation
• Apply powder
• Apply blush
• And lastly lip

Here is my Finished look of Estella

Miss Havisham Continuity

So the day has come where I had to recreate my Miss Havisham. How did it go? Not as good as id liked it to have.

• Gelatine
• Foundation
• Primer
• Ben Nye contour palette
• Glycerine
• Supra colour palette
• Fake blood

• Medium curlers
• Tail comb
• Hair pins
• Dry shampoo

My make up application was fine, and all went to plan. I had a lil hiccup with my gelatine, as I forgot to soak it first which nearly ruined it. 

In the end I managed to fix the issue and apply the gelatine where needed. 

My before and after Miss Havisham are similar but not sure if I quite captured the continuity. My model thinks the application looks the same but I'm unsure.

Well here it is my finished continuity look along with my face chart and notes.

Burns

Burns

In today's Studio session I learned how to create burns using gelatine. I enjoyed this session and love the effect it makes so will be definitely using this type of special effect for my timed assessment. 

Things Needed

• Gelatine
• Fake blood
• Pus
• Glycerine
• Sponges
• Hair dryer
• Supracolor 
• Illamasqua powder

• So firstly the gelatine needed to be heated this was done by placing the glycerine into a bowl of water and heating in the microwave for 10 seconds, the gelatine then became a honey like texture.
• Next using a spatula apply the gelatine to the chosen area checking the temperature before hand
• Using your fingers or a stipple sponge, tap the area to give an uneven look
• Set with Illamasqua powder
• Using the supracolor palette add up reds and browns to the area
• Once all the above was completed I added fake pus and blood, and lastly applied a coat of glycerine which added a shine.

And here it is.......... A severe Burns

Miss Havisham Practice

So I have been playing around with my Miss Havisham look, trying to get it ready for the timed assessment

• Gelatine
• Latex
• Supracolour palette
• Glycerine
• Foundation 
• Barrier cream
• Foundation, powder, shadow and blending brushes
• Make up sponges
• Spatulas

I am definitely going to have a burn effect to my look as i found creating burns one of my strengths.

I have also decided that I will not be using Latex to create my look at I don't like the effect it gives, so I will be using Gelatine.

For this look i cleansed and moisturised Martina's face

I then applied barrier cream as she has quite sensitive skin

I then applied the latex to the side of her face

I dried the latex using cold air from the hair dryer (latex will dry but a hair dryer will speed it up)

I set the latex with loose powder 

Using a spatula I gently lifted the latex in areas which I wanted to achieve an uneven surface

And added red supra color

This time I used the gelatine effect which in my opinion is easier to use and blend 

Once my foundation base and ageing had been done I applied my gelatine to the side of face (gelatine needs to be pre soaked in water before heating in a microwave)

Using my fingers I gently tapped the area in which the gelatine has been placed so that it wasn't so smoothe

Then I used cold air from the hairdryer to speed up the drying time

I set with loose powder

Using reds and yellows from my supra color pallets I created blood marks

I then covered in fake blood, and glycerine to add shine
