Final Miss Havisham Hair and Make Up Ideas

MAKE UP

(IDEA 3 + FINAL DESIGN)

This is my final face chart that I am going to be using for my Miss Havisham design. As I have previously stated I have been looking at Victorian interior's as a colour reference, the colours used were very rich deep tones like ruby reds and purples for example. I have chose to incorporate my original idea of using these colours but this time make them seem more realistic rather than artistic which was my initial idea. Not only will I use a deep brown on the contour but I will also incorporate a rich, ruby red to give the illusion the skin is sore. Due to the age that I am recreating Miss Havisham her wrinkles won't be ridiculously obvious, just slight - enough for the camera to pick up. Chapped lips will also be on my model, mostly relating to the conditions Miss Havisham lived in. I have also put dry skin on the cheek and hair line mainly because I want it to look like psoriasis which relates to stress which was caused by her fiance leaving her. Originally I was going to do the hand but I have decided against it mainly because I don't think I would have time during the assessment. I decided that I was going to do Miss Havisham at the age she was when Estella was just leaving home, so not ridiculously old and grey but ever so slightly.

VICTORIAN INTERIOR EXAMPLE

HAIR

I have decided to keep my final hair design quite simple as I mainly want to concentrate on the continuity of my final piece rather than the intricate detailing and I thought the hardest part of it would be to make the hair very similar. I have gone for an early victorian look as the look I was going for was for her to try and keep her hair style the same as her wedding day which was based in the early victorian era. I have gone for the plaits either side of her face rolling towards her face and a twisted bun at the back of the head with 2 plaits to wrap around the bun. This whole look will be then messed up and backcombed a bit and then made to be grey to show age as well as dust settling on her hair. My model has a lot longer hair than this so the curls wont be as tight and as high as I would like them to be but I don't mind. I will also add a veil and flowers to the look which I have made myself, I have tea stained them to give them that aged effect.


Below is the flower element of the veil that I have made.
