Estella final plus face and hair charts

After thinking how I wanted to portray Estella and what scene I wanted her In I decided to create a fresh look where Estella had just been attacked. I used Illamasqua skin base mixed with kryolan foundation pallet I blended from the neck to the ears then powderd using illmasaqua finishing powdered then I did a light contour and used Illamsqua powder blush and kryolan lip stick to give her a youthful look. to create the black eye I used a combination of  kryolan eye shadow pallet and Supra colour pallet I mixed yellow,red,purple and slight tones of grey and black I tried to make the colours slightly more predominant than my practice but still not making it theatrical then I used mac shine to make it look fresh and added slight bags under the other eye for the eye brows I combed into place the applied toofaced eyebrow wax.
For the hair I did say I wanted it neater during the practice but after thinking I would really prefer to explore the true domestic violence behind Estella but I kept some aspects neat. I firstly sectioned the hair into a center parting keeping the hair off the face pulled the sections back then sectioned the back of the hair into to segments rolled up pinned attached apiece of hair a round to join them then started pulling the hair as i wanted it to appear as if  she had been grabbed by the hair and pulled.

Over all I really enjoyed creating Estella although I could have been bolder with the black eye I feel it works well and looks better with the added shine. The aspect I would go back and improve on is the hair although I wanted it to look like she had gone through a struggle I could have done something else for example adding red colouring to make it look like shes hit her head or added hair pieces. I am happy with my outcome It has again taught be the importance of preparation and time management







This is the hair design I chose in the end I do like the design as its very I like the girly bow at the back.




















For this I want to do a center parting taking all the hair off the face creating a roll up bun at the back. But felt it was bit boring as an over all design

Another look I was thinking of doing was center parting slight hight at the back rolled up bun and curls going down from the hair but felt it was the neater version of my Ms Havisham hair and feel it would look repetive.

My first Idea for estella was to do a simple make-up with slight darkness under the eyes to show that shes hiding all the pain but felt it was too boring.

For this design I thought about enhancing the black eye and adding a scratch but I felt that the scratch could be too much but I liked the idea of having a black eye.

So in the end I chose to do this design as I feel its a combination of both and I really like the idea of portraying the domestic abuse.
