Claudia and Quentin project evaluation

I found the Claudia and Quentin project very interesting. I especially liked that we had so much freedom with the project, compared to the ‘What the Dickens…’ project. But having so much freedom also brings some struggles, like having too many different ideas that you don’t know which design you should use as your final design. Because I quite liked all my designs, it was very hard for me to choose and I practiced several designs to see which looked the best on camera. One thing I didn't really like was that we were only allowed to choose a TV series from the list that we were given. It was good to have a list but the first thing is that I didn't know most of the series that were on the list which is a disadvantage because I definitely did not have the time to watch them all to see if I want to base my characters on this TV series and the second thing was that the TV series I already had in mind for inspiration, and I actually already made designs with the series in my head, was not on that list. In the end I was allowed to use it but I would have liked if we had a broader choice in choosing our TV series. Otherwise I had no problems with the designing process. I actually planned on shooting my characters during the Easter break when I was back home in Germany because I wanted to use my sister and her boyfriend as my models but at that time I didn't know that we had to shoot at least one character in the studio. But in the end that was okay because the pictures I took with my sister didn't turn out the way I wanted them anyway. It was still good for practice reasons and also helped me with the choice of my final design.

Contemporary Victorian Hair styles, inspired by American Horror Story

Materials needed:

pin tail comb
paddle brush
sectioning clips
pins
heat protection
hairspray
tong

Preparing for the look:

do a slight side parting and create a section for 3 horizontal curls on top for one side and for the other side you do 2 curls
remember to keep the curls tight and when you curl hold the tong straight up and go down, then pin them down so they stay in place while they are cooling down
->down use hairspray before you curl unless you want to do avant garde, you will use a lot of hairspray later
when you are done with the top do to the sides; do one vertical curl just above the ear, remember to pull the tong a bit back when curling the hair so the curl sits nicely but not to much in the face
back: do one curl horizontally on the crown of the head and then keep going down in a kind of brick work shape
pin all the curls down and don't release them until they are completely cool otherwise they won't stay in their shape

the top:

3 curls on one side

2 on the other one

the sides:

how it looks from the back:

after doing the whole back in a brick work shape:

the look from the front:

Design 1: The Maid

Our Famous Fictional Maid for Wednesday is the terrifying Moira O'Hara. If you're worried your post-Halloween party house will be messy enough to qualify as an 'American Horror Story', schedule your free cleaning estimate today!

http://lolwat.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/10.7-Horror.jpg

Steps:

release all the pins and go through them carefully so you won't destroy the curls!
but leave the curls on top of the head
start at the sides; take the curls from the side and start twisting them inside and keep taking in more and more hair from the back, if needed pin some parts
do this for each side and pin the hair inside
take the middle bit twist it inside and pin it in
going back to the front: take the curls and place them in a wavy shape back, keep building up the curls; on the picture you can see how the curls pile up on each other
do the same thing for the other side

Design 2:

Steps:

take the paddle brush and and comb out the hair
but remember to hold the hair straight and with confidence and then brush them out from above and afterwards from underneath ;the curl is supposed to be in a nice wavy shape than
->NOTE: I am not sure if I did this one right because my friend wasn't really good at explaining and I was ill during the week when we did those hairstyles during lesson
do this with all of the hair

Design 3:

For this design you should apply hairspray all over the hair and then just shake the hair.

Shake it, shake it, shake it!! It needs to have a lot of volume. I also needed to fix the front part a bit more with hairspray because the hair didn't like the direction I parted it so it kept falling back to the middle.

Garnier Crème Bienfaisante with SP20
brush kit
duo
false eyelashes
eyelash curler
W7 eye stix (golden highlighter)

Steps:

first apply the moisturizer all over your face and work it in nicely
apply the Catrice foundation and buff it in well, afterwards apply concealer where it is necessary
powder with the Essence fixing powder and pay especially attention to the eye area because we don't want any greasy lines later
now apply some of the brownish gold eyeshadow ('don't have to hide away' from salvation palette) on the eyelid, fill it completely out
then use the 'break out from society' red and apply it over it but don't fill the whole eyelid with it-> it is supposed to be a highlight
using a round blending brush go into the dark purple 'you will be my boy' and apply it in the outer corners and blend it inside,you can also go a bit outside with the eyeshadow to make the look a bit more dramatic; also go down to the lower lash line until you reach the middle
using a new blending brush take some of the 'head to the hills' and blend away any harsh lines
using the bh cosmetic liquid eyeliner create a nicely winged line, make sure it is even on both sides
using the w7 highlighter eye pencil apply the golden color underneath your lower lash line and in the inner corner of your eye
curl your eyelashes
apply false eyelashes
apply mascara
eyebrows: first using the e´Tonymoly eyebrow pencil draw the shape you want and fill in, brush it out a bit with the brush on the other side of the pencil , then using the lightest brown from the eyebrow palette fill in your eyebrows and then fix them with the lash and brow transparent gel mascara
moving on to the lips; apply the MAC rebel messily on the middle of your lips, mix the black Mac pigment with the shine mixing medium and fill out the lips, also go over the purple colour of the Mac lipstick-> your lips will look black but will also have a purple shimmer
because the shine medium didn't make the black as shiny/glossy as I wanted it to be , I also applied the Rimmel London Black Diva lip gloss on top of it
lastly apply some shimmer on the cheeks with the Bobbi Brown Brightening Finishing Powder

-> afterwards I also put on a dark blue flower headband, because I thought it would go quite well with the dark eyes and lips look

Hair step by step:

->brush through and do a side parting->then take all of the hair back and do a low ponytail, if hair stands up use hair gel or hair spray

->the hair is supposed to look very neat

Make Up step by step:

make sure the model has a clean face

apply primer

mix the base using Illamasqua skin base and the Catrice foundation->don't make the base too white

apply base and buff in well

powder

using a grey eye shadow do some contouring on the cheeks

apply brown eye shadow on the moving lid as well as underneath->you only have to do the left eye as the right eye will be covered by bandages

apply the maybelline eyebrow mascara on the eyebrows->gives a natural feel

dab some of the beige eye shadow onto the lips to give them a pale look

some prepare the bandages, cut it in the size you need and apply the blood ->lay it onto the right eye and then tie the bandage around the head to make the self made bloody eye patch stay

apply some fake blood around the face as well, it is supposed to look , like he touched his bloody eye and then smudged the blood in his face

the last thing is the Angel banish Sigil(from Supernatural) on his neck

take a thin brush and using the fake blood draw the sigil on his neck

From then on it is important that the model does not move the neck too much otherwise it will get smudged

The Pictures:

Close Up's

Profile and Mid-Length Pictures

Here you can see quite good the banishing sigil

Back to see how the hair looks at the back

Because the rabbit is the second lead in this shoot :)

Evaluation of the shoot:

I quite enjoyed my Quentin shoot. The makeup is not too complicated so I didn't feel pressured or anything. I wanted to portray him as weak and innocent ,that's why I used the rabbit soft toy but somehow it didn't really give off the impression of innocent. But my model managed to portray Quentin weak and sick looking which I like. I really wanted to do a picture with Claudia and Quentin together in it but because I had to use the same model for Claudia and Quentin it wasn't possible. I actually planned to have different models but when I was back home the shootings didn't work out as we didn't have a proper camera kit and very bad lightning at home. But I like the outcome of this shoot. When it comes to the makeup there wasn't that much to worry about. The only annoying thing was the fake blood I used. It had a very gooey consistence which wasn't really perfect. But it still worked. And I maybe should have ironed the shirt before the shoot^^
