I've been looking into hair and make-up ideas for the female model for my shoot. I'm liking the idea of having a very doll-like young girl approach to the make-up to relate to my previous research. I'm therefore, thinking that I need either the emphasis on the eyes or the lips to draw attention to that feature. I'm thinking that if too much of both were used it may look too theatrical.
I like the strong full lips, purely because heart shaped ones never look that good in make-up. I have done them a few times before and never been happy. Again they only look good really close up. I have lots of lip colours we could use...I will send you and images of some nice lips too!
I think this shows how important it is to get someone in the team who really knows their specialism. Whilst I think it may have looked great she has the experience in knowing what will work and what will not work.
Lydia: They have a pale base (Make sure what ever model you get is pale and ask them if they do not to use any fake tan the week of the shoot as the base is pale) This will look really strong...like a porcelain doll.
These are the make-up ideas from Lydia experimenting with a few of the inspirational images I have looked at.
I think the first image is my favourite as it has a huge emphasis on the lips with a few details on the eyes to stop them from disappearing into the face. Lydia has said that if we choose a base for the make-up for example the eyes and the blush which we keep the same, we could then change the colour of the lips for each look.
For the hair, I like the idea of using big messy hair. When looking at dolls they always seem to have a lot of hair which would quite often get bigger and messed up (barbies hair was never the same again).
Lydia: Hair wise we could do something like in that add and even use a hair spray to put touches of colour in it....so the options for all that are huge!
Lydia: Those colours are light, but quite warm...that way when she has a pale face it wont get lost in the hair....
We will look at using a cage so that the hair can be attached to it and stand up. Similar in the way the Georgian wigs were applied for my 18th Century vs 80's project.
