Fashion Horror Makeup

In Fenella's lesson we were given make up looks from different designers and we had to copy them, as if we were in the backstage at the fashion show. I got Vivienne Westwood look from her Red Label collection (Autumn/ Winter 2013) at her London fashion show. 

The makeup was quite dramatic; the features were outlined with black and white, then spaces were filled in with acrylic paints in primary tones (red, yellow and blue). Hairstyles were inspired by Madonna; very sexual and glamorous. Some models had their nails airbrused with paint extending onto the fingers (pink and white), and some just had two colours of nailvarnish (nude and blue etc.).

The look I recreated was a mixture between the bottom right and the one in the middle. Makeup always reflects the crazy and unique design Vivianne Westwood creates. The lines weren't perfectly straight and I decided to take a different approach and used a wooden spatula to create the lines. I used it for the yellow lines that go across the brow bone, and also to apply terquoise/blue under the eyes, but the line seemed too harsh, so I blended it with the eyeshadow brush. All black lines were created with the angled brush, as well as the red lips.

For our homework we had to create three face charts as if we were the make up designers for the fashion show. First face chart (top right) is the look I created on my model, and the products are listed above. Other two were the looks I created, inspired by the looks we got in the lesson (middle and bottom right).
