1960s Makeup Evaluation

 1960s Makeup Evaluation:

Makeup Design: 

This makeup is for a film about a serial killer, the character is based on Jerome Brudos who was also called the 'Lust Killer' and the 'Shoe Fetish Killer,' this makeup is based on the first victim who was beaten then strangled before having her feet removed a few days later but this is before she had her feet removed.

Evaluation: 
This makeup works for film & TV as the makeup works under natural lighting and intense lighting and the skin was even. Alcohol paints were used for the wound on the neck which means they will last longer as they won't be affected by water as much as aqua paints would be, however, this makeup wouldn't work for stage or an event as the makeup isn't intense enough which means the details would be lost due to the distance, however, I could make this work for theatre by making the makeup more intense to allow it to be seen from a distance. For continuity purposes, pictures would be used to make sure the bruising and cuts are in the same places. 

This makeup fits the time period as a nude lipstick was used and the main focus was on the eyes, the line in the crease had been blended out to create more of an every day look. The hair was also accurate as women with longer hair would often wear their hair straight with a little bit of volume around the crown. This victim is based on the first victim of Jerome Brudos who was beaten before being strangled so there is bruising and broken blood vessels on the neck along with a bloody nose and a split lip so the injuries are accurate. 

However to improve, I could add some lashes to add more emphasis to the eyes and eyeliner to hide the band. The lips were slightly uneven so I could make them more even using a lip liner, I could also tame the baby hairs to make the hair look neater and add some more volume around the crown of the head. I could add some deeper purples to the injuries to create more depth and I could blend the bruise around the eye more to create a softer edge. I could also use some silicone to create a cut on the lip and create some abrasions to the neck to create a more realistic effect. 

Peer Assessment: Drew
Drew said that my makeup turned out amazing and that the bruises blended into the skin really well. She said that she liked my choice of colours for the face makeup and that it would work perfectly for film & TV. The bloody nose and split lip also showed how fresh the injuries were. 

However to improve, she said that I could add some bruising around the bridge of the nose and eyebrows to pull the whole look together.

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).
