1970s Experimental Work Evaluation

 1970s Experimental Work Evaluation:

Makeup Design: 

This is a recreation of Andrea Hall for a film about the Toolbox Killers, she was their second victim and Bittaker had taken polaroid pictures of her before throwing her body off a cliff. She had her mouth taped then she was raped multiple times before being stabbed in both ears with an ice pick and she finally died while being strangled. This is to try different blood applications and to try to control the running mascara. 

Makeup: 



Evaluation: 
The blood flowed really nicely and the mascara had started to run which means that it's accurate as it appears that she is bleeding from her ears and that she is crying. 

However, to improve I could use an arterial blood as this is the blood in the ear and is lighter than venous blood which would improve the accuracy and I could use a black water colour for the running mascara to make it run easier. I could also remove some mascara from the eyelids to prevent it covering the whole eyelid.

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).
