1970s Makeup Evaluation

 1970s Makeup Evaluation:

Makeup Designs: 

This makeup 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 was finally murdered by being strangled to death which means she has finger bruises and hand marks on her neck. This shows the before and after effects of the attack. 


Makeup: Before the attack 


Evaluation: 

This makeup works for film & TV as the makeup works under intense, artificial and natural lighting and it works well on camera. However, this wouldn't work for stage as the makeup isn't intense enough which means the details will be lost due to the distance, however, I could make this work for stage by making the makeup intense enough to be seen from a distance. 

This makeup fits the time period as the colours used were accurate and the pink lip gloss was also accurate as this was very popular during this decade. The focus was also on the eyes but the eyelashes were very natural, the hair was also accurate as many people had straight hair including the victim this makeup is based on. 

However, to improve I could cover the blemishes on the face using concealer to make the base even and I could use some more blush to add more colour to the face. I could also tame the baby hairs to make the hair look neater and I could add some more volume around the crown of the head. 

Makeup: After the attack 



Evaluation: 

This  makeup would work well for film & TV as the makeup works under natural, artificial and intense lighting and it works well on camera. Alcohol paints were used for the wounds which means they will last longer as they won't be affected by water as much as aqua paints would be and aqua paints were used for the running mascara which means water would make it run even more and add to the look. However, this wouldn't work for stage 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 stage by making the makeup intense enough to be seen from a distance. For continuity purposes, pictures would be used to make sure the bruising and blood are in the same places.

I could also tame the baby hairs to make the hair look neater and I could add some more volume around the crown of the head. I could also create little cuts in the ears to add to the look. 

Peer Assessment: Drew

Drew said that my makeup looked really good and that I used a great colour palette for the '70s. She also said that the special effects was amazing as the blood running from the ears and the running mascara was executed really well. Finally, she said that it would work really well for film & TV as it shows the before and after effects of the attack. 

However, to improve she recommended doing something with the hair such as loose curls and taming the baby hairs to make the hair look neater. She also said that I could cover the blemishes on the face to make the base more even.

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).
