Developed 1980s Makeup Evaluation

 Developed 1980s Makeup Evaluation:

Makeup Design:

This makeup is for a film about a teenage girl in the 1980s, this is a scene after a fight in a club and it consists of classic ‘80s makeup and a perm as well as a black eye, a cut lip and a cut on the cheek caused by a jagged edge of a bottle that someone had hit her with.

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. The edges of the silicone were also well blended which meant that the paint didn’t cling to the edges and alcohol paints were used which means they will last longer as they won’t be affected by water as much as aqua paints would be which adds to the realism. I also added a bloody nose to add to the look.

For continuity, a prosthetic could be used for the cut and pictures would be used to make sure that the black eye is in the same place each time. 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.

This makeup fits the time period as the colours used were accurate and the lips were glossy, which was very popular during this decade, the blush was also very intense. The hair was also accurate as perms were very popular during this decade and the hair had lots of volume. I used a blue mascara instead of black because through research I learnt this was the most popular mascara colour.

However, to improve I could add more gloss to the lips to make them slightly glossier and I could use a more vibrant blue on the lids to make the colour more accurate. I could also add slightly more volume to the front of the hair, and I could add some deeper purples to the bruises to show how intense the bruising is.

Peer Assessment: Phebe

Phebe said that the bruising and the silicone was well blended and that it would work amazingly well for film & TV, however, she said that I could improve by adding some slight yellow tones and smudge the eyeshadow slightly to add effect to the look.

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...

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 ...
