  • Make Up step by step:
    • make sure skin is clean
    • if wanted apply primer
    • start off with blocking out the eyebrows
    • take a spatula and scrape off some of the glue apply on eyebrows
    • you can apply several layers of glue if needed
    • to get off any excess glue dip a baby bud into warm water and rub off the glue
    • then powder the eyebrows
    • mix the base tone you need and apply on face
    • afterwards powder well
    • using a round blending brush and the shimmery dark green eye shadow start applying the eye shadow on the moving eye lid and then go up until you are over the highest point of your actual eyebrow.
    • keep constantly blending so they are no hard edges and everything is smooth
    • leave some space blank between just above the crease of moving lid and he eyebrow, as well as from inner corner to almost the outer corner->there you apply the shimmery yellow eye shadow
    • blend the eye shadow also into the green one to have smooth edges
    • go back to the green eye shadow and take it underneath the eye , this will create the new outer corner of the eye-> want to create a bigger doll like eye.
    • then take a white eye liner and fill out the space between waterline and just underneath your eye bags
    • take a pair of false lashes and apply them from the new created outer corner along the outer line of the white, create a kind of half moon shape
    • apply also false lashes on top lid
    • wait until dry and then apply mascara onto both ,the false lashes as well as your own
    • now take the black eyeliner pencil and draw on the curly eyebrows
    • over the right new eyebrow draw a small crack
    • draw another bigger crack on the left cheek
    • get the flat round brush and a bright pink blusher and create a circle on the right cheek
    • now to the lips: take the red lip liner and draw the outlines of the new mouth you are creating( see face chart)
    • colour in with the same lip liner the right side and go almost in until you reach the outer corners of the left side.
    • take the black liner and draw in the teeth on the left side,also colour in the spaces between the teeth with black as well , then colour in the teeth with white supercolor
    • then using the Kryolan lipstick palette ,pick a dark red and fill the center of the lips with it, the choose a bright red and fill in the rest of it->blend the dark into the bright one
    • also get a small brush and use the bright red and go over the outer lines from the left side as well so that the colours are matching.
    Hair step by step:






  • brush through the hair well and make sure there are no knots
  • do a middle parting and create two sections for the  high twin tails 
  • brush up each section and tie them up with elastic
  • brush through the ponytails so they are nice and smooth

     Evaluation of the shoot:

     Overall I am satisfied with the outcome of the Claudia shoot. I only practiced the design on myself before and not on my model but that was alright, The only difference was that my model has a bigger forehead which means I had more space for the new eyebrows and the small crack on the forehead which was good. Also the blocking out of the eyebrows was a success this time and not a total disaster as in my practice^^ I think my model portrayed Claudia how I wanted her to be quite well. I choose to shoot in her bed because I think it makes her look first like an innocent young girl sitting in abed hugging a teddy bear but then if you look closer you see the evil on her face. We also tried out different angles on how she should move her head and how she should look to get a kind of evil glimpse on her face. Looking at the pictures now I thought I should have maybe used a bigger teddy bear. This one is quite small.
