So not only at university have we been studying and researching for our main term project "THE NEW ELIZABETHANS" I know I know it'll be amazing, big hair and extenuated features; for another class called Digital Image we've had to create a small project all based on a chosen colour and its colour spectrum (all the shades within the colour)Within the project we had to not only do the hair and makeup for our models but also the shooting within a proper photography studio using Hot shoes and lighting. So far in the project we've only had our practice shoot. Tomorrow is the finale.
A lot of researching was given to this project, our mentor gave us work to do from poses to facial charts (I love doing face charts)
This shoot had to look professional.
My colour is also brown, perfect for autumn.
I chose brown because its perfect for the season we're in but also the fact its so diverse Beiges to Chestnuts to even blacks.
These are the images from the test shoot, maybe after all the typing my eye sight is playing up because the bottom image is looking a tad yellowy which it actually isn't on the photo previews.
This shot was only for the preview as you can see my model has a white top though tomorrow I've decided on a simple brown coat to cover the shoulders and have a small bit of skin showing on the neck and simply the face. The face should be the focus. The project is to be based on high fashion but I saw the project of more of an extra practice within my own field of a practicing (newbie) to Make up artistry.
The look is almost tribal with the crimped un-perfect hair thats placed into a fish tail plait; adding texture and volume.
The makeup is also simple with small detailing within the eyeliner up close there is the black eyeliner and then a brown eyeliner as well above. The face is contoured grease on grease before powdering. Lips are what stand out for me the gorgeous colour of 'Salem' from Lime Crime, a rich matte brown perfect for the look of brown. On top of the lips is a golden highlight to reflect the light on the camera.
Practice makes perfect.
