Professional Make-Up Project
Summative Assessment
I sectioned around 6 cm from the hairline back around the whole perimiter of the hairline to create pin curls as anchor points for when the wig was applied.
I brushed through the hair with a denman brush to remove any knots before preparing the hair for the wig that will be applied later after the make-up.
Here I have cleansed my models face and moistured to hydrate the skin before the make-up application.
I used a mixture of Mac Studio Fix foundations NC15 and NC42 to create the correct base colour for my model, I applied the lighter colour under her eyes to remove the appearance of any dark circles. The model has beautiful skin and I did find that the mac foundations were too heavy coverage for her skin, I did my best to buff the foundation into the skin and used as little as possible but again it was just slighly too heavy coverage, I needed a thinner foundation.
In the picture above you can see the anchor points crossed grip, the anchor points allow the pins to attach securely when the wig is being fitted.
My models hair is incredibly thick and long so I found th best way to prepare the hair for the wig was to french plait the remaining hair and wrap the tail around the head over the crown area and grip it into place as the hair just would never fit into pin curls all over the head.
I applied the eyeliner in a spiradic motion usig harsh strokes in various directions with a MUA pen eyeliner. In hindsight I would have applied the liner continuing up much higher onto the eyelid in the same motion to define the eyes more.
I applied blusher colour Apricot to the plump areas of the cheeks to add colour.
I began defining the brows with a black kryolan eyeliner pencil starting from the outside edges towards the centre, I then applied black eyeshadow lightly over the eyebrows towards the very centre.
I applied colour CU7 from the make-up international foundation palette under the cheekbones, onto the temple areas, down the nose and across the chin to redefine the face shape. I blended and buffed the colour into the skin until the contour blended nicely into the foundation colour.
I applied freckles onto the face with a brown eyebrow kryolan pencil in small dots over the nose and cheek areas. I applied prosaid all over the neck piece and dried it with a hair dryer, I could not apply prosaid partially bit by bit because the piece was too heavy and would fall off everytime after doing a small section.
The neck piece attached well at first however the piece was quite weighty and a small section at the back pealed back a couple of times and I had to re apply it.
I applied the arm pieces in the same way as the neck piece and again they were slightly too heavy to be applied with prosaid.
I lined the lips with black kohl eyeliner and filled the rest of the lips in with kryolan silver greasepaint, the greasepaint was quite dry and I did have to continually rehydrate the lips.
On reflection there are some things I am happy with and some that I am disappointed with. The application time was relitively quick for a prosthetic application I am also happy with the overall outcome as this was the high fashion futuristic look I was hoping to create but my main issues were with the prosthetics. First of all the colour that was prepainted onto the prosthetics was starting to peel off this could be because of one of two reasons, either the oil paint I used did not mix properly with the naptha and silicone or there was not enough silicone added to the mixture.
The second issue was with the flatpieces peeling away, there was quite a lot of silicone used to make the pieces and the prosaid just would not hold the prosthetics on. In hindsight I would have used either telisis or snappy G's to apply the silicone pieces. The final thing I would perhaps change is encapsulating the pieces as they were 3D and were not supposed to blend into the skin.
