hair and make-up for shoot

below are the images we selected for our final hair and make-up look.

Hair: We wanted something that was simple, fashionable yet linked back to the youthfulness of the character and the depiction of Little Bow Peep. i researched into several fashion shows for ideas, and thought the hair style we liked worked well with our chosen theme. We also wanted to the style to look a little bit messy due to the setting the character finds herself in. Therefore the style we chose was a fish tale plait as we thought it embodied all of the above features.

through research we also liked the beehive look and thought it could work well with our design. We thought instead of using a hat like the imagery of Bow Peep, we would create volume by  heightening the hair. we thought by creating this effect it portrayed a modern contemporary look.

Makeup:

For our make-up we wanted a contemporary look yet vintage style, keeping the old with the new. We wanted our character to represent a innocent girl so we decided not to go for an overpowering style yet a style that accentuated features and catched the glimpse of your eye. 

Research.....

> Smoky eyes: Will emphasise the models eyes that are quite dramatic ( but not too dark that the yes get overpowered by the makeup). Will work well with her dynamic face and her bone structure, drawing her as the focal point.

> Pink blusher: Not overly pink (that she becomes doll like) but pastel colour that highlights her cheekbones.  

> Dark looking lipstick: To create a dramatic, edgy look.

> Eyelashes: Dramatic looking ones?
