Renaissance Inspired Makeup Evaluation (14th Century)

 Renaissance Inspired Makeup Evaluation (14th Century):

Makeup Design: 

This makeup is for a sci-fi film, the hair and makeup is inspired the 14th century. 















Makeup: 




Evaluation: 
This makeup would work for film & TV as HD techniques and products were used, including subtle makeup and putting foundation on the lips so that they don't stand out as much. The base was also flawlessly blended and the skin was even. 

The makeup also fits the time period as it was very pale and the focus is mostly on the skin. There is also no contour as being a little bit chubby showed wealth, making this a fashionable look. The hair also fits the time period as traditional techniques were used including lots of braids. 

However, this makeup is for a sci-fi film which means the makeup could be anything and this is very simple, I could also improve by securing the hair more to prevent it falling out and I could add some traditional hair pieces. 

this makeup wouldn't work for stage as the makeup isn't intense enough to be seen from a distance, however, I could make this work for theatre by making the makeup more intense to allow it to be seen from a distance. 

Peer Assessment: Drew 
Drew said that my base was flawless and well blended, it was also very even and it fit the time period. She also said that my hair fit with the time period really well as it was a traditional hairstyle. 

However, she said that I should try to push myself a little bit further rather than doing a straight makeup as the makeup could've been anything.

1990s Research

1990s Research: Makeup in the 1990s was very varied and contained lots of different subcultures including heroin chic, grunge, indie, raves were still popular, and the Ibiza theme became very popular which meant that festivals were very popular. Heroin chic was a look that consisted of pale skin, dark circles under the eyes and looking unhealthily skinny and almost emaciated. Some people described the models as looking skeletal and there was a public outcry as it glamourized drug use and eating disorders. Heroin became popular against middle classes and could be snorted rather than injected which removed some of the previous stigma, it was shown in fashion through unhealthily skinny models but also in films such as ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Trainspotting’ (The Recovery Village, 2019). Some models that are famously known for this are Kate Moss, Jaime King, and Jodie Kidd and Calvin Klein were one of the most famous brands using heroin chic in their campaigns and many famous models posed f...

Prosthetics Making and Experimentation

  Prosthetics Making and Experimentation: 15 th February 2021: Today I used my sculptures to create the rest of my prosthetics. These are my right ear prosthetics: These are my face and chin prosthetics: They will be separated before being put on the face. These are my eyebrow prosthetics: These are my nose prosthetics:  17 th February 2021: Today I began experimenting with my prosthetics and loosely applied them to the face to get a vague idea of how they will look on the face. I applied an earpiece, cheek and nose piece to the face and practiced painting them. This is the earpiece: This ear prosthetic fit really well, however, the paint could be slightly more blended to prevent the colours appearing blocky. This is the cheek piece: The paint could have been slightly more blended, and I could use a smaller brush to shade the grooves as the lines are too thick. This is the nose: The nose fits really well but I could use cotton underneath to prevent ...

1970s Research

  1970s Research: The 1970s was extremely diverse and makeup ranged from very natural to very intense with different subcultures including disco and punk. Natural makeup was also popular. Blush was quite natural in terms of both colour and application and creams, powders and gel formulas were used. From the mid-1970s, blush became more intense and was in stripes across the cheeks sometimes even from the temples down. A tanned look was desired which means that bronzer was used to create a sun-kissed glow (Hair and Makeup Artist Handbook, 2013). Eyebrows ranged from very skinny and over-plucked to slightly thicker, skinny eyebrows were curved similar to how they were in the 1920s and thicker eyebrows were slightly shaped with an arch, these were similar to the eyebrows in the 1950s (Hair and Makeup Artist Handbook, 2013). Eyeliner varied depending on the subculture you were part of people who wore more natural makeup often wouldn’t wear eyeliner, but others would wear it on t...
