For my first attempt of my Miss Havisham design I practiced on my partner Lily, although the design works on Lily I will be using a model in my final continuity assessment as due to the concept Lily's dark and bright red hair will not work for a realistic interpretation of the character. The makeup worked okay on my initial practice however I feel that the contour of the cheekbones is more effective here than that of the hollowing of the eye socket, in future I will maintain the severity of the contour of the face but work to enhance the eye socket with a darker tone. On my face chart the skin around the eyes is noticeably more purple in comparison to that which is visible here and therefore I feel the look would benefit from an injection of violet tones that will enhance the deathly appearance of my model while maintaining that pretty element.
The biggest design difficulty that faced me there was in regards of what to do with the eyebrows, on my design they were slightly aged in appearance and this was an important feature to my final makeup design. Initially i tried to achieve this by using the white supracolour ageing method that had worked so well previously for ageing male facial hair, however in regards to this design it was rather unsuccessful and did not work as I had hoped with the rest of my look. The white makeup made the whole look rather false and tacky as it was to visible on the skin, as a result I removed the makeup from the brows and tried again. This time I decide to use a foundation tone in the eyebrows and applied it sparingly using a mascara wand which I then worked through the hair to blend. This was significantly more successful as it gave an aged appearance without the theatrical element, this made my makeup look far more appropriate for the TV adaptation my character had been designed for.
