Technical lesson: dirtying down and stained teeth...

Dirtying down:

Step 1: Using dark browns and grey to create a dirtying down effect, firstly must moisturise the skin and be sure to moisturise and dirty down all areas that are visible.

Step 2: Getting colours on your fingers begin to massage the colour into skin. When doing the hands ensure to bend the knuckles to ensure to get the dirt in all the crevices and also ensure to get the dirt beneath the nails, or chip the polish etc.

Step 3: Dirty down the face and other areas of the body in a similar way, if the model is wearing makeup do this on top of the makeup ensuring you do it the same way in which it would have occurred should it have been real. 

Stained teeth:

Step 1: Firstly using a cotton bud to completely dry off the tooth.

Step 2: Then using the product apply it to the tooth quickly as it drys very fast and is then unmovable without a high alcohol product to scrub it off. 

Technical lesson: scratches, cuts and cut lips...

Products used:

fake blood

stiple sponge

red supra colour

Scratches:

Step 1: Using a course sponge with lots of holes, dip it into the fake blood and be sure to get the excess off on the back of your hand, then in short swiping/flicking motions put the sponge across the skin in the desired area to create scratches.

Cuts:

Step 1: Using the gel draw a line across the skin in the desired area to create a clear bump on the skin. 

Step 2: From here you can add blood and redness around and beneath the line to make it look like bleeding from beneath a side of skin.

Cut lip:

Step 1: Using the collodien apply it to the area around the lip and pinch the skin together.

Step 2: using a hair dryer on the cool setting use this to dry the collodien be sure to apply the air at arms length away and in circular motions

Step 3: Once dry you can colour accordingly.

When applying my colldien didn't dry correctly and it began to peel at the edges and so i decided to use this to my advantage and make it look like a scab. Next time i need to pinch slightly more and ensure it is properly dry before i finish.

Technical lesson: Victorian illness and tears...

Products used:

Supra colour in red and brown

Sponge

Glycerin

Red liner

Tears:

Step 1: start of by applying your base to the skin if you are using one

Step 2: around the eyes using the red on your ring finger dab underneath the eye making sure you go no lower than the eye socket bone and be sure to apply it onto the lid lightly aswell.

Step 3: Using the red pencil line the eyes all the way along the water line on the top and bottom for full effect

Step 4: lastly use the glycerin to put beneath the eye to make it appear wet and also the more you add you can also make it drip to look like tears.

Ilness:

Step 1: Start by applying any base if desired

Step 2: Using the red start by placing it on the skin in dabbing motions, i found that using my ring finger for this worked well and blended it naturally to look like a part of the skin.

Step 3: Once you are satisfied with the red i also dabbed in some brown and layered the 2 colours together. Now add the glycerin onto the skin to look like its wet, shiny or sweating you can also add it into the hair to add to the appearance of sweat.

Estella...

For my Estella i wanted to create her as a woman but in her younger years as a woman around the age of 21 or so. I created a really simple makeup with a slight flush to the cheek and a pink but natural toned lip. I didn't use any mascara and i just combed the borrows slightly. I applied a thin layer of base and that was it. I decided however that i wanted to portray a hidden side of Estellas life and so i added a bruise to the top of her head and partially covered it with hair as i believe this is what she would have done as a means to try and shield it from anyone.  I have used colour pictures above here to enable you to see the true way the makeup pictured on camera. In black and white however the makeup is extremely minimal and almost not there which is what i was aiming for as i believe they probably wouldn't have worn much back then and it would have been minimal if they did it also wouldn't be anything like makeup as we know it today.

I was fairly pleased with the outcome of my images i could have perhaps added some sort of colour that may have shown up differently in black and white but it wouldn't have been a true reflection of the time period in which Estella is set in.

Timed assessment:Miss Havisham...

My work station:

1st timed assessment:

2nd timed assessment:

1st timed assessment:

2nd timed assessment:

This is the first time i have ever had to work on continuity and so i was very worried about it. However looking at the images i have got from both my shoots 2 weeks apart i think that in terms of makeup i managed to get them pretty spot on and similar, although i can see straight away that i needed to add another line of tears to the face as there is more in the 1st assessment compared to the 2nd. As far as the base and redness of the eyes I'm really happy and think they look almost identical as you can see in the 2nd week the lighting and background had changed and we tried to rectify this as best we could and so lighting changes things but in terms of makeup alone I'm really pleased.

Technical lesson: Scars...

Products used:
Kryolan supracolour in red
collodian
Tuplast non flexible
Dermashield

Step 1: apply any base desired
Step 2: apply the derma shield to the desired area
Step 3: apply the tuplast in which ever thickness and length you wish the scaring to be
Step 4: if you are creating an old scar you don't need to add colour to it, it will just look like an old raised scar, however if you want to create a fresher scare add some colour to it. I used the red and lightly applied it in a line along side the ‘scar’ to make it look newer.

Technical lesoon: Burns..

Products used:

Kryolan palette red,brown

Revlon lipstick in black cherry

Vaseline/glycerin

Step 1: apply the colour to the skin in dabbing motions, add as much colour as you like depending on the type of burn you wish to create and how deep and fresh you want it

Step 2: Add on the glycerin or vaseline ontop of the colour to add shine and make it appear more realistic

I tried it with a lot of colour to create a more 2nd degree burn 

I also tried it with less colouring to resemble something more like sunburn this would be considered as a 1st degree burn.
