Estella Research

Whilst creating my Miss Havisham I was constantly thinking about how I was going to portray Estella, I am doing it as the same time I had done Miss Havisham, when Estella was early 20's maybe late teens. I am also sticking to the fact I am doing it for film so it can look really realistic.

The time era I will be basing it on would be late Victorian and from precious research I understand that the hair would be really soft and romantic in comparison to early Victorian. Similarly to early Victorian the make up would still be really natural almost not existent, I am looking to create a healthy youthful glow on my models complexion so will still obviously be using make up but my main focus for this side of the project would be the hair.

I was looking to create something quite extravagant as well as periodic as my model has a lot of hair to work with.
This was my main inspirtion:

The top right image was what I am going to try and aim for, all curly with a waterfall effect of curls at the back of the head and waves on the top. From these illustrations you can also see how little make up they wore back then so this is a good indication of how I should go about creating my look.
