1920s Makeup Evaluation

 1920s Makeup Evaluation:

Makeup Design: 

This makeup is for a documentary series about forgotten killers. This is a suspected victim of Alonzo Robinson who had a truck full of decapitated women's heads, this is a few hours old so her face is starting to sink in and the wound is starting to age. 














Makeup: 




Evaluation: 
This makeup would work for film & TV as HD techniques and products were used, the makeup was well blended and the skin looked even. The wound was well blended which prevents the paint clinging to the edges which would ruin the illusion, alcohol paints were used which will last longer as they won't be affected by water as much as aqua paints would be. The wound is starting to age and for a film CGI would be used to cover the rest of the body or a dolls head would be used. 

The makeup fits the time period well as the blush is intense, the eye makeup is smoky and dark colours were used. The colour of the lipstick is also accurate along with the way the lipstick is applied, creating a shape which was desired during this time. 

However, to improve I could make the face look slightly more emaciated to look more aged and I could possibly wear a wig to make the hair fit with the time period. I could also style the eyebrows differently as they were too thick and didn't fit the time period.

Final Makeup Evaluation

  Final Makeup Write Up: 11 th May 2021: Today, after all of my preparation and hard work, I was finally able to use my practical skills to create my final makeup. This is my final look: These are some photos of my process:  Evaluation: This makeup translated onto the face really well and looked how I had imagined it; grease and alcohol paints were used which means that the makeup would last longer if needed and there’s no chance of the makeup sweating off like aqua paints would which is very important for this look as any inconsistencies would be very obvious and would ruin the look. The colours were also the colours I had hoped for and the light complimented the colours extremely well.    The hair was also how I had imagined it and the curls weren’t too tight, I had also backcombed the hair so that it helped support the crown during the final photos. However, some of the edges of the prosthetics weren’t completely blended so they could be seen slightly, my paint didn’t c

1940s Research

  1940s Research: The second World War started in 1939 and came to an end in September 1945, resulting in men and boys as young as 16 being sent to fight in the war, this meant that women were left at home and more women were going to work, they would work in the shops and factories while the men were away. Millions of lives were lost during the war with one of the biggest tragedies being the Holocaust which resulted in the mass genocide of 6 million Jews (History, 2009). Due to working during the war, women didn’t prioritise makeup however, it was still used. Due to rationing there wasn’t many products available meaning women had to be creative and often returned to using old techniques which were seen as outdated, but they were also referred to as being better than nothing. These substitutes included “burnt cork for mascara, cochineal or beetroot juice for lipstick, bi-carbonate of soda for deodorant and gravy browning for leg tint” (Hair and Makeup Artist Handbook, 2013).
