Design 1:
In this design I wanted to portrait Miss Havisham rather pale and tired and a bit ill looking from the lack of nutrition's, isolation and lack of sunlight. Therefore a created big dark circles, hollow cheekbones and kind of bloody lips from her biting her lips. For this look I mainly used grey, blue and brown tones (from Kryolan eyeshadow palette and Salvation palette), For the lips I used duo to create some extra skin and then fill some bits out with the dark red supercolour. For the base I mixed the Alabastar from the Kryolan Foundation palette with the Illamasqua skin base. I wanted a kind of white for her face but not as white as the Elizabethan white.
Design 2:
That design is more fashionable and is supposed to show Miss Havisham a few years after she was dumped at on her wedding day. Of course they didn't wear mascara during the Victorian times but because it is my fashion interpretation I wanted to have run down and smudged mascara from the crying. She also has a very pale face because of the lack of sun and nutrition's. Her cheeks are also hollow and here we have as well that she is biting her lips out of nervousness. To show that time has past I glued some tried rose petals on face which fell down from the roses she had in her hair. I decided to go for that design as my final design but because I was worried that it is too contemporary I made some developments and changes which you can see in the following face chart.
Design 2_ Development:
The design itself is basically the same apart from the fact that the run down mascara is not that dramatic and dark. You can see her dark circles more clearly and the run down mascara tears I created by mixing water and a grey pigment together in a pipette and dripped them down the face. The lips also don't look that dark anymore. And in the first design I used black eyeshadow for the eyelid but changed that to a grey-brown tone. Now it doesn't look to modern anymore.
Design 3:
For design 3 I wanted the eyes and lips to be the key points. To enhance the tried and ill looking look I used various brown and grey tones around the eyes and created deep shadows especially in the inner corner of the eyes which go up to the eyebrows. To have a little modern twist I did cat shaped eyes by using brown eyeliner in the outer corners of the eyes. Again she has hollow cheeks, which you can do by contouring with grey. The base is again a mix between foundation and skin base. As for the lips I used a deep brown red and smudged it out. This is supposed to show her anger but also the passing time because the lipstick is fading more and more. In the end I decided not to use this design because it would be also too contemporary.
Design 4:
Design 4 show Miss Havisham having skin illnesses from the lack of nutrition and sunlight. The skin is very pale and dry. But she is also scratching her face a lot and because the hygiene is not the best as well she has some very dry spots on her face but also infected bits. To create this look you can use old age stipple, latex and duo to create the dry skin and then colour it in with supercolour, I decided against it because I wasn't sure if I would be able to create the exact same look for the continuity assessment again.
Design 5:
Because I wasn't really sure how to create burns on a face chart I don't have a face chart for my last design. But as mentioned I wanted to create burns on her face to show the last moments of her life before she died of being burned. But I knew from the beginning that I wouldn't do that look as well, because it would also be problematic to recreate it for continuity.
