Seamless Silicone Cuts Evaluation

 Seamless Silicone Cuts Evaluation:

Makeup Design and Scenario: 

This makeup if for a TV series about the development of a serial killer.

The vet continued to torture his wife while his mistress continued to laugh and take pictures. This is a photo of a a fresh, small laceration caused by a small knife and another laceration on the hand with exposed muscle when he decided to try human flesh. He removed a small section from the hand for it to be cooked and eaten. 















Makeup: 





Evaluation: 

The silicone is well blended which means the paint didn't cling to the edges which overall, makes the cut look more realistic, the blood work also helps trick the eye and the bruising is subtle. However, if I was to do this again I would add more blood to the cut with the exposed muscle to give a more realistic appearance. 

With this scenario, this makeup would be used in an 18 rated film or TV show, however, with a different scenario this makeup could be used in a PG13 or 15 rated film. This makeup would work for film as alcohol paints were used and they won't be affected by water as much as aqua paints would be so they will last longer, the silicone also moves with the body giving an overall more realistic appearance. However, this makeup wouldn't work on stage or for an event as the details would be lost due to the distance. 

For continuity, a prosthetic could be used for the cut and I could also make this work for stage by using a thicker prosthetic and making the makeup more intense to allow it to be seen from a distance.

    Really good work, I agree with your evaluation, even building up the sides a little more would do no harm to really create the depth of the wound. Good start on your contextualisation, you are explaining where it would and wouldn't be used, but I want to see you stretch further, make sure you are fully exploring everything, as if you are teaching me about why they are used, you can even go onto talk about continuity in film and how it would be accessible by creating a wound this way or what would be used in its place. remember if there is a wound on a person in a film continuity is the MAIN thing that is important along side realism.

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

Henry and Catherine were married for 23 years until Henry divorced her as she didn’t provide him with a male heir.

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).
