11. Contemporary Victorian Hairstyles Inspired by American Horror

Curling the hair and gripping it:

 Equipment:

• curlers
• hair brush
• pin tail comb
• grips 
• Afro comb

Steps:

Where they will be placed-

• side parting
• work with the direction of hair
• 3 curls going up and 2 on the side (left hand side)
• 2 going up and 3 on the side (right hand side)
• Brick work at the back (only the first layer)
• 1 roll at the crown of the head
• 3/4 going down the back (not brick work anymore)

1. First section by the parting at the top, not too wide or deep, work away from the hair for lift. Curl the hair up so the tongs are directly on top. Then place a kurby grip to the head to hold the curl. This is the left side of the head so we need 3 of theses. 
2. On the other side we need 2 of theses, so create exactly the same, use pin tail to help hair sagging. 
3. At the crown create 1 curl right at the top, lift for volume and then below do brick work ( 2 rolls next to each other and then 1 roll below). Stop brickwork here. The carry on until the neck with rolls going downwards. 
4. Go back to the side section where the ears are, and curl the hair inwards to the face. Curl the rest of the sides like brick work only because the sections are quite big. Do this to both sides.
5. Next take all of the grips out where you put them in the curls, the best filler for gaps is a bit of back combing.
6. Use an afro comb to brush the curls through

Style one:

1. Start by the ear and start twisting the hair into itself (not a victory roll). If you start with the left hand side and twist it until near the middle and then grip down and across to hold it. 
2. The start on the other side by the ear and start twisting that round until they nearly meet and then grip it in place.
3.  Lastly the middle section at the back, start rolling the middle part up on itself and then grip into place. 
4. Next start on the top section of the hair pulling the front of the head curl down and seeing where it falls, then place it neatly over the hair and grip lightly into place. You want movement around the hairline.
5. Then with the other front curls build up the curls. You want the front main curl to slightly dip over the forehead and to show volume.
6. Then with the other side of the hair do the same, can start looking slightly like finger waves around the front. 

Style two- soft waves:

1. Start with taking all of the grips out from the previous style. 
2. The grab a hair brush and start brushing through the curls, making sure you brush on top of the hair and the underneath part.
3. While brushing use hands to direct the hair and give it flow.
4. Once your happy with the look of the curls you can use a shine spray to finalize the look. 

Style three- messy/voluminous hair:

1. For this look there's no using a brush its purely brush your fingers through the hair, fluffy it up and shaking the head around to give voluminous curly hair with a messy look to the style

Overall I really enjoyed creating the three styles and I really enjoyed learning a new curling technique. I found curling the hair and gripping it was the hardest part as it quite hard to make sure the hair doesn't sag, if the curls are going it the right direction, if the rolls are secure and making sure the curlers are directly on top of the curl so there's no drop in the hair. However I was releaved when I finally had the whole head curled and it looked wonderful up all neat and in its position. Then creating the first style was definitely my favourite I loved the way the curls fell into place and you had to grip it where necessary. However creating the twist/roll following the bottom of the hair sounds easy however it was actually quite tricky to make the hair completely flow round. Overall I really enjoyed the lesson, the time frame was a little challanging however I managed to complete all the looks in time.  

Health and safety:

• Make sure you always keep on eye on hot equipment such as heated tongs and where they are placed 
• Keep hair tied back and minimum jewellery
• Do not run in the studio 
• Be aware of your surroundings (equipment cables)
• Keep bags and coats away tidy

10. Dark eyes and Lips

Darkest of the Dark

In our recent make-up lesson we were looking at Dark and and lips where we had to bring in a photograph of our choice to work from to create this look. Firstly our make-up lecturer Fenella showed us a demonstration of how to create a classic smokey eye look and the look normally should contain at least three colours to work with.




Tips by Fenella:

• Always be neat
• Its easier to do the eyes before the base make-up (foundation) because then you dont have to worry about powders dropping on the face
• Keep blending, no harsh lines
• You'll need to be quick when doing TV make-up as you might have at least 10 peoples make-up to do
• Keep the eyes open every so often to see what it looks like because the main view will be when its open
• Translucent powder under the eyes to catch the eye shadow if you have done the base before
• Cream eye shadows first then always powders after

Eyes and lips inspiration 

Products:

• Charles Fox eye shadow palette
• sleek lipstick (matte vamp)
• Charles Fox blusher palette (red and brown)
• Avon Glimmerstick for eyes (soft black)
• Gold gel 
• white base foundation
• Maybelline lip liner (midnight plum)
• Illamasqua neutral palette (gold)

Eyes:

1. Firstly I started with applying a  liquid white base foundation all the lid and into the brows before setting it with white powder before applying the actual colour.
2. Once the whole eye had its base, I started with the red and created the whole base red all the way up every so slightly past the eyebrow. I then brought the red down and followed it down the cheekbone and contoured the cheek and temples with the same red.
3. I then worked into the corner of the eyes and created a line from the corner of the eye to the top of the brow
4. Next was working in with the brown colour, I mixed the brown with a bit of the red powder and worked into the corner of the eye, just under the brow, and on the lash line. 
5. I then used a dark gold powdered eye shadow and brushed over the brown with the gold. 
6. I then used the Avon Glimmerstick and drew on a eyebrow line above my partners original eyebrow. 
7. Next with the same glimmerstick I drew along the lid (by the lashes) and then created a flick going out at the corner of the eye. 
8. Next I used a gold gel and placed it in the corner of the eye. 

Lips:

1. Firstly I started with lining the top lip and the center bit of the bottom lip. 
2. I then used a lip brush and the matte vamp colour lipstick and filled in the entire top lip and small amount in the center of the bottom lip. 
3. I then used the same gold gel I used on the eyes and drew small lines in the center of the bottom lip and the bottom of the top lip.

Overall Iv'e very happy with the look I created, as me and my partner had to swap over I didn't have time to complete both eyes. However I preferred concentrating on perfecting one eye than rushing to create both. My inspiration was the photo right at the top, I used elements from the look however as our theme was dark eyes and lips I chose to change the colours around by using red, black, brown and gold. I think I could improve on my blending on the eyes more and maybe created more of a shape however for creating this first time from looking at a photo I think I did quite well. The lips came out nicely however in the photo her lips are more draw on in the center and look slightly more dramatic however this was my own interpretation. 

Health and safety:

• keep products clean and tidy
• make sure you place the lid straight back on any products 
• keep model covered to protect clothing from products 
• don't run in the studio
• keep bags away tidy 
• make sure of no cross contamination 

9. Light scaring

Wounds Made In Molds:

Firstly our lecturer Sue showed us the basic of how to apply the prosthetic piece and filling the wound in. Sue showed us all the steps and equipment to use to create the look, the prosthetic piece she used was a round wound which could be a bullet wound.


Products:

• Clean mold
• Quick release (Petrolease) use for latex or silicone or can use Vaseline
• Pros aid- glue used to stick all prosthetic pieces, its more applicable 
• Pros aid is a contact adhesive, put glue on the prosthetic piece and put glue on the body, wait for product to go clear and then stick it down
• Pro-clean: cleansing oil to get it off
• Blend away gelatin edges with witch hazel
• Fixing spray 
• Sponges 
• Blood 
• Wound filler 
• Bruise wheel
• Foundation palette

Creating my own:

1. Firstly I chose what prosthetic piece I wanted to use; I chose the bullet wound and wanted to place it in the center of my partners head.
2. I then used cleanser and a cotton pad to clean my partners forehead before applying the prosthetic. Once area was clean I cut around the edges of the prosthetic to make it smaller.
3. Next I got a cotton bud and applied pros aid to the prosthetic with the cotton bud and then also to the skin. I then had to wait to for pros aid to go completely clear on the skin and then place the prosthetic on top. Making sure I press it down nice and firmly so it sticks to the skin.
4. Then using a bowl of witch hazel and a cotton bud start working around the edges of the wound so you start blending the edges away. This part takes the most time as you really have to start working around the edges so you blend it as much as you can. Make sure you keep checking the wound in the mirror to see what it looks like from far away.
5. Next I used foundation to match the skin to the prosthetic so it completely blends together and then powdered it.
6. I then moved on to start filling in the hole of the wound, I used the red colour from the bruise wheel and filled the inside of the hole with red and the surrounding area. 
7. Next used a small amount of wound filler and used a cotton bud to fill the hole in. 
8. I then went back to the bruise wheel and created slight bruising around the area, using blue and red. I then used a liquid blood and filled the hole with the liquid blood and let it drip down the forehead slightly. 
9. I wanted to create a blood spray from the wound area so I used a very hard bristle paint brush and simply spray it around the area flicking the bristles with my fingers.

I really enjoyed creating this bullet wound I think playing around with different products and what sort of things we can create is really exciting. I enjoyed painting the wound and creating the bruising and filling it with blood and then seeing the end result. I found blending the edges of the gelitine mold the hardest part because it hard to get the edges smooth and flat to the skin so it looks realistic. However overall I'm very pleased with the outcome of my molded bullet wound I think it came out pretty well.


Health and Safety:

• Don't run in the studio
• be aware of your surroundings
• make sure client/partner is covered to protect clothing from products 
• Always wash hands before working on someone 
• Keep lids on products after use
• Keep work station tidy
• be careful with products near the eye 

8. Creating Estella

Final Photos

Estella 

|Evaluation|

Usually I'm extremely happy with the outcome of my final looks and on the day I normally don't have any extra problems with creating the look apart from the usual worries of it all going wrong. On the day I felt pretty confident to execute the look since my practice trial went extremely well and I was super happy with how everything turned out. However since the practice look was in the morning and the assessment was in the afternoon the hair for me just wasn't going right. When creating the hair every time I rolled over a section of hair it kept separating and was sitting how I liked it as I knew in the morning the hair went so much better and smoothly. After a few attempts of trying to get it perfect (as I knew my standards) it really start to get me stressed. Finally when finished I was happy with the hair style however it did look slightly different to my practice design. When looking at the design from the back it was slightly off center so I think I could improve in making sure the design is in the center of the head which i'd need to work on. Overall I was pleased with the outcome of the make-up however I feel the bruise should of been slightly higher so its not just sat on top of the blusher or maybe I could of added a little bit more green to the bruise to define it slightly more. The look as a whole I'm very pleased with, I really tried to create a different hairstyle with the style referencing the Victorian era while trying to staying away from the traditional bun and ringlets, I'm very pleased with the look and I think the look portrays Estellas character very well.

7. Creating Miss Havisham: Continuity

|Continuity Evaluation|

My step by step of creating the look was exactly the same, I made sure I did everything the same and everything in the same order. On the day of the assessment I brought in all my original notes from the first time I created Miss Havishams character this was, Make-up chart, hair chart, make-up instructions and hair instructions. These all helped me to create the look the same for continuity as I just repeated what was on the charts and instructions. On the day I brought in a mood board of photos of when I first created it, the images showed close up detail to the burn, close up to the face and hair and a variety of angles to help create the look again. I think for the continuity part the original photos of the look I created the first time round helped the most as when getting the burn and hair in the exact same place I kept looking at the photos to make sure I was getting everything spot on.

I didn't have any trouble with forgetting anything such as products/equipment/accessories because I kept a list of all of the products and equipment needed together and the original products together to be used the next time around. The flowers, veil and material I kept all together so I could just bring it in on the day and it would be prepared. The flowers and the burn sizes were kept in a container together, the burn templates were vital to have as it was the exact size of the burn I first created and was very helpful with continuity for the burn. 

I felt the hardest part of the continuity is using products such as latex because its hard to create the same thing again as latex sometimes dries different. Also things like colour is hard to repeat again especially when the burn is so detailed and colours start mixing together. Even though I have a burn template and photos of where the burn was placed on the skin it still was quite hard to make sure it was in the same place and the same angle across the face, I definitely found the burn the hardest part to recreate. I think the second hardest part was probably the white colour through the hair, the white was sprayed in different layers of the hair and throughout the front curls, it was difficult to make sure I got the right amount of white and in the same place. Overall I feel with the difficulties of certain things the look has I executed the continuity to a high standard and did everything I could to keep the look the same from, notes to face charts, photos, templates, containers and bags of certain items and equipment. I really enjoyed creating Miss Havisham as she was interesting to research about and look into her character aspects. I really enjoyed the continuity even though it was a little challenging mentally and physically to recreate the look however that's the fun it being tested on our skills as continuity is a vital aspect in the TV and Film industry.
