Timed Assessment

Final Photos

I am really pleased with my work, I followed all the instructions and from the face chart I was given I think I worked well. The face chart was clear so I was able to work confidently and I am very pleased with the final outcome, I especially like the lips and also the skin/base as I feel I've added alot of texture and depth. If I did it again I would change the eye makeup and adapt the shame, this has been a good learning process and I really enjoyed it.

Evaluation

Evaluation

Throughout this project I have learnt lots and become more open minded with my makeup and hair designs. Before this project I had some knowledge on tribal, I’ve seen photos and watched a program. But I had never known about their beliefs and why they dress as they do, but from this project I now know a lot more behind tribes and know about lots of different tribes. I have also learnt a lot of different techniques for hair and makeup and I wanted to make sure I had shown off my new techniques within my final images and I feel I have done this. I have shown off my new technique of scarification within my editorial images, and I have also shown off adding props and creating shapes within the hair, the real inspiration for my hair was when I met Seema Chopra. I had to overcome my bad habit of not liking bumps on the skin, I chose to sit and watch the video of scarification, two years ago I would of not been able to watch that video as I’m so Squamish but now I was able to watch it and then create it on the skin. Unfortunately my Scarification was not as good as I have practiced before but this is a technique I will need to work on as a makeup artist. I think the makeup and hair I chose for each look would work best for the genre I chose, in editorial the scars would show up best and the dots for the catwalk would be bold enough for everyone to see. My design development for catwalk was good because initially I wanted to do coloured dots but from my practices I could see that coloured dots would not work so I then change it to black and white and I’m very glad I did. I feel in this project I have developed my skills as both a makeup artist and a hair stylist and both of my images are what I was aiming for.

Story Board

Storyboard

Here is my storyboard, it shows all my research I have undertaken throughout this project and all the inspiration I have got for my two shoots. It shows a mix up of different tribes and different fashion images. I feel this is a true reflection of all the research I have undertaken and the images that have inspired me the most. 

Final Photos from the Editorial

Final Photos

Here are my final two images for the editorial shoot, I have chosen one image that is a close up and one that shows the arm. I am pleased with the photos It has all the elements that I was wanting to it to have. I did have alot of problems with the scarification and trying to get it to look realistic and into the skin, I used the same technique of applying it that I learnt in class but I don't feel like it looks realistic. While shooting I tried apply concealer, foundation and powders but it still didn't look like it blended into the skin but this is a something i can approve on again. I think the rice on the face looks good and does look alot more realistic, I tried to make her skin tone look warm by adding a dark powder to her cheeks, I wanted to show that she had been in the sun. I also think that the slight gold on the cheeks and colour bone works well and reflects the glowing look I wanted to achieve, I found the gold supracolour hard to work with on the cheeks so I had to use aqua colour and a contour brush and this made applying it much easier. I love the gold lips this gives a more modern touch, and I think it shows that she is head of her tribe. It is a shame that in the photos you can't see alot of my plaiting work because it did look good and showed my creativity with hair. The gold on the headband ties in with the gold on the lips. I chose the gold and black earrings as this went with my whole look, i tried out all my accessories that I bought when I was shooting but they all didn't work because i had the scarification on the chest. I had to shoot in my own studio and using my own SLR camera because I had problems with model with is unfortunate because I think the scarification would of looked better in the studio but i think I did well with what I could do. I'm glad that my images show of a number of different techniques that I have learnt in my classes(scarification, plaits, hair props,supra colours). 

Hair from the shoot

Photos of the hair 

Here are some photos of the back of the hair from the editorial shoot. For the hair I individually plaited the hair and then added metal wiring into the plaits so that they can be manipulated to stand up and move. I then clipped the plaits into place, I still wanted to use the feather headband that i bought, once I plaits were in place the headband would not fit round the head so I solved this problem by cutting the headband and then clipping it to the head. I like the effect I have created with the plaits as it shows my plaiting technique and also my creativity with hair and creating shape within the hair. Unfortunately when I added the feather headband you can't see the plaits very well, but i think the feather headband worked with the styling and created a head of the tribe feel. 

Final Face Chart&Design

Final Face Chart&Design

I have chosen design six, I have chosen this design because I think this will work best on camera and I have practiced the V shaping and the stars and they really complement each other.These  two shapes work well together because they both have sharp lines, when I tried the V shaping and the swirls together it did not look right because the V is a very sharp and neat line and the swirls are obviously a very round shape and I think these bit not work well together. I am going to do 3 shapes on the chest and 3 shapes on the back. When I practices this look having one set of string did not work well and was not bold enough so I glued 2 pieces of string together to make more of an emphasis and it looks much bolder. Also for the stars on the arm I tried just rice but this was also too little so I am going to do it with single string and split peas but for the face I am going to use rice.

Here is my final face chart, after all of the face charts I think this one is the best. You have to excuse how messy it it, this chart has been brought back and forward to different places. I got the idea of the gold lips from the beyonce shoot i researched. I also want to use gold as contouring on the cheek bones and temples. The gold supracolour is really hard to use on paper,I wanted it to be a soft line but the gold is hard to come out on paper. Also in this card the rice stars aren't really showing up but on the face I want the stars using rice to be on the top of my cheeks just under the eyes and then the gold underneath. I want the eyes to be bare and natural because from my research into tribes they do not have anything on their eyes and I want to do the same on my facechart. 

Accessories

Accessories for Editorial Shoot

I've gone out and bought lots of different accessories for my shoot, I won't user alot of them but I bought them to have and to work out which ones I will use or won't use. 

Heres a photo of al the accessories I bought I've bought, I've tried to buy a wide range of different accessories so that I can try different look.

Here are the earrings I've bought, I think these both have a tribal feel. I wanted to buy two options one that sits on the ears and one that are drop down earrings. Even if I do not sure these at least I have them for more shoots. 

Here are the two necklaces I also bought again very different styles,my favourite is the gold one on the left, I feel this one has a high fashion feel and is a strong statement piece. The necklace on the right reminds me of the colours that the Kyan People wear on their headscarfs. With this necklace I was thinking I can either wearing it long, or make it wide and have it higher on the chest and back or wrap it around twice to make it a chocker style.

Hair Accessories

Here are two different hair accessories I bought, I wanted to include feathers in my shoot because I feel this could add texture to my image and I want to add and create texture in the hair, I could do this my adding fullers earth to the hair but that would create a harsh look and I want to create a softer look and I think feathers would do this.

Material

This is the material I bought for the shoot,I haven't used animal print in my shoots yet so I thought it would be good to include it within this shoot as animals are such a strong part within tribes. I am not sure how I am going to use it yet, maybe as a scarf or make a dress out of it. 

Uh Oh

After my Scarification

These photos are really bad but this was what happened after I watched it off, I really tried to wash it off but the supra colour was not coming off. Also I because I did this on me I just pulled the string off which was not a good idea because it really hurt and made my arm red for ages. Obviously I would not do this on my model, but I now need to think what to do because the supracolour was only on my skins for max 5 mins and it's stained my skin and I would not want to do this on my model and I if I was to do this on a real catwalk I would get in a lot of trouble if I left the black mark on the model skin, time to think!! 

Scarification Attempt 2

Attempt 2

Here are the materials I used to practice my scarification, I went for materials that would have a good rise on the skin so I used:

• Rice
• Dried Onions
• String
• Pasta
• PVA Glue

Here are my attempts using dried onions, I soaked them in PVA glue and then placed them on my arm. The photo on the right is of me with my arm up i'm just checking that the onions actually stayed on when I moved, I want to do scarification for my catwalk look so I need to make sure it stays on when moving.

Here is a really bad photo of when I coloured on top of it, I used my concelar pallet, foundations and powder. What i need to remember is the make sure the rest of the area is clean and the pva doesn't dry around my skin. I think on the catwalk it should look realistic, i just need to practice covering it and making sure it blends into the skin. 

I then tried the same technique with strong, I chose to do a spiral and I dried it with a hair dryer to make  the drying process quicker. 

Heres the photo after i applied the foundations, it's a really bad photo but the string did actually cover really well. I like the spiral shape and how it's not clean and perfect circular shapes because in the tribes they are doing it by hand so it wouldn't be perfect!

I then tried it again using an S shape, I like the S shape and think I may do this on my model.

Scarification using Colour

I then added colour to the scarification because I wanted to experiment with what it would look like. I used my supra colours, foundation brush and hilighter brush and blended it into the skin and on the string. I think this looks is good and makes to scarification look alot more realistic, also I got the idea of using black from the Beyonce Photoshoot I recently looked at. 

I then added colour onto of the string to see what it would look like, I added gold at the bottom of the strong and red at the top. The gold was really hard to get out I used supracolour and I found it so hard to get on the brush and I don't think it looks very good, it doesn't stand out and i think it looks like I haven't covered the string in black. The red is abit better it was easy to onto the brush and easy to apply,  it does make the scarification look fresh but I think this could be taking it a step too far, from the controversy in the Victoria Secret show I think fresh cuts may be taking my idea for catwalk too far. 

Different Materials

New Materials

Today I've gone out and bought some new materials to create scarification, I have already bought string, rice and dried onions but I wanted to buy something that would give me more of a rounded shape so I've gone out and bought popcorn and split peas. I am going to experiment with these later, the popcorn have a round shape all over where as the split peas have a flat shape on one side and round on the other which I think could be quite good to stick onto the skin. 

Editorial Designs

Editorial Designs

I've looked back at all my research and looked back at the key points I made that I want to add into my Editorial Look. My main look is scarification so I have drawn up lots of different design patterns for my final look and then I am going to practice this look.

Design One

Here is my first design, you have to excuse the really bad photo, their all taken on my ipod which is bad quality.

This is my first practice design and i think it is really poor, I don't think it would make alot of impact and I think it would look much better if the scarification ran down the arms and up the neck. It is a good starting point and has started me off in the design process. The scarification would be made using; string and pva glue.

Design Two

Here is my second design, with this one I want to show a different type of scarification and with this one when I see it i think of pain. I think the slashes on the arm and especially the chest resemble pain. The chest one would be quite large to show a deep wound at the start but I would show it as it's risen and would have quite a large rise. I do prefer this one to Design one and think I shall practice this. For this design I would use string doubled up and pva glue or liquid latex. 

Design Three

Here is my third design, I have taken some elements from design two. I liked the slashes on the arm and from design two but I have changed what will be on the chest in this design. I have got inspiration for the chest design from Aboriginal Art, I looked back at their patterns and have taken an idea from their. I took the idea of circular dotting. The centre of the dots would be made from a cluster of popcorn and then the little dots are individual popcorn. I need to make sure when I do this that the dots look realistic and look like it's in the skin. 

Design Four

Here is my fourth design, I have added elements from design three and two. The two elements I have taken the scratches from design two and put them on the face and i have taken the circular shapes from design three and made them smaller and have applied them down the arms. I really like the V shape I have created on this image, the large V on the neck/chest does almost look like a necklace or accessory on this design. I also like and think I am going to carry this on that the made scarification is down the arms and that theirs is only a little bit on the face. I think that if their is lots on the face aswell this could look too much. I am going to draw more designs with lots on the arms and small design on the face.

Design Five

Back of design Five

Here is my fifth design, i have carried on the V shaping from design four. I do really like this design, I got my inspiration for using the star/flower pattern on the arms and face from my previous research(photo on my mood board). The pattern would go V then star shape and so on, I have also added a V shape on the chin and stars down the cheek. The V shape would be made out of string and the stars either out of rice or string. 

Design Six

This design does look quite similar to the design above however I have adapted it by making the pattern on the chest larger to give more of an impact and I have also brought the design down to the hands aswell. I have added the star shape on the hand and also some small V shaping on the fingers. I also planning on bringing the design on the chest also on the top of the back. With this design on the face I have taken part of the design from template number five with the stars on the face. I want the face to be very simple yet beautiful because their is alot going on in the arms.

Editorial Moodboard

Editorial Moodboard

Here is my final mood board, again with this one it has taken me a while to get it right and for it to reflect the look I am going for. In my Editorial my main focus is scarification, as you can see I have added 3 images of different scarification, I want to show different types of patterns and how I was inspired by the patterns they have created. I have also added in some fashion images from my research that I love and that I want to incorporate elements from into my image. I have also added a photo of nails because I will need to think about nail art within my look and this photo has given me ideas. I have differed this mood board to the Catwalk one by adding different elements, I didn't want it to be the same as the catwalk and I feel it does have a different feel and look. Normally when I am creating a moodboard I would add lots of smaller images but I tried to go for a different style with this one and I think the photos that I have shown are necessary and are strong so lots of little images wouldn't of made such an impact.  

Final Catwalk Photos

Final Catwalk Photos

Here are my final Two images for Catwalk, I am really pleased with my final look. I think it is executed really well and shows new techniques I have learnt. In this photo the techniques I have used are, using supra colour, french plaiting on the hair and adding props to the hair. After all my different designs and practices I am really glad I went with this one, it has alot of impact without having too much dots on the face. This look would work really well on the catwalk as it is a look that all makeup artists would be able to execute to a high standard. Same with the hair, the props would be made before hand and could be applied to every models hand and the crepe hair colour can be changed to suit the model. This look also reflects my research into the tribes I wanted to show with the dotting on the face and also the round ring in hair. I chose this accessory to use which I already had because i think it complements the look with the black beads and even though the silver heart is large it still doesn't take away from the hair and makeup. I made sure I applied foundation to the body as well so it matched the colour of the neck and face. The only thing I would change is making the hair more sleek as their are some wispy bits and I stuck on fake nails to my model which were black and white with patterns but you can't see them in the photo. Overall I am pleased it shows off new techniques I have learnt and shows the research I have undertaken.
