Estella Ideas

Going along with what I originally said I have completed face charts and hair charts to portray my ideas for Estella.

IDEA 1 - MAKE UP

I previously did an experiment, messing around with looking at the perception of Estella and the way people see her but also to the way she actually is. The face chart above represents the way she actually looked - I would of really liked to look into create a more Avant Garde side of her (like I previously did for my experimentation) and for this to show the way she treats people ad the way she actually is through the use of make up. However, I am working to a brief that is needing me to create a look that represents her as a TV character and this is what I have come up with. Pale, youthful face with rosy cheeks and rosy red lips, I am going to concentrate on the highlighting trying to make it work in my favor by trying to get it to look non existent but also brighten up my models face.

IDEA 1 - HAIR

As for the hair - I have a lot to work with so I am going to make it the main focus of the look. The back will all be curled and pinned up into the twisted bun to create a waterfall effect. The front of the hair will also be curled and pinned and then waved on the forehead into the bun to then add some more curls to the back.

A little similar to Gwendolen Harleth from the film Daniel Deronda:

IDEA 2 - MAKE UP

This design is very similar to the last one but this time I've done it when she's the oldest we ever see of her - so she had bags under her eyes and a drawn out face with a dull complexion, still very pretty but emotionally drained, I prefer the previous design as I feel it represents the Victorian era a lot more as well as we see Estella in that state more frequently than this one.

IDEA 2 - HAIR

As you can see this style is very loose and pretty around the face with a big twist at the back - saying that I feel it really does represent Estella as a person; this young beautiful girl with very twisted morals. Despite this aspect I think I much prefer the one above, mainly because my model has a lot of hair and it has so many possibilities, not only that I feel that it shows more skill.

IDEA 3 - MAKE UP

I slightly touched on this idea earlier but I really wanted to make it one of my designs and make a face chart of it. I understand that I am not allowed to create a look that is very contemporary or avant gaurd but due to the fact a couple of my Miss Havisham designs are of that nature I felt inclined to at least make one of my Estella's the same. This idea represents her personality on her face - a cold hearted women with an ugly personality and ugly morals. The greys and blues represent her cold ways and the placement of them represent the idea of portraying her ugly side.
