Historical Victorian Hair

Hair

In class I was surprised to hear about Victorian hair for I had always known from period dramas about the beauty accessorises such as roses or bows in the ladies hair to add a sense of style or class much like the Elizabethan Era with the pearls and jewels ladies still enjoyed accessorising their hair.

I was surprised however to learn about the extent of hair pieces Victorian ladies would wear. Extremely detailed pieces of hair woman would clip onto their own hair to create updo's and whatever took their fancy. Of course when I actually thought more into this revelation I realised how silly it was; Elizabethan woman would wear full wigs everyday for their desired looks. Modern day we were hair to volumise or whatever just like Victorian women. Hair was curled and pinned in a attractive fashion either in a up do or with a mixture; middle partings were also extremely common for women to have.

American Horror story inspired hair

Needed-

Curling Iron
Section clips
parting comb
paddle brush
Pins

In my classes hair lesson a couple of weeks ago we had a really interesting/fun lesson based around Series one's maid in American Horror story; this lesson was just a bit of fun before decided what program to follow from the briefing of Claudia, Quentin or Mrs Laderman

I'm still not that technically advanced within my hair styling but this lesson was fun, The hair itself is something i would love to do on myself as its a hairstyle i've always like. The hair is curled in sections starting from a side parting and working down in a brick style pattern the front of the hair if curled towards the face. Always pin the hair after curling; Just mades the finish once cooled. the bottom of the hair once all curled is loosely folded towards the head in a roll.

The lesson itself was based around that hair style but also the idea of creating two other hair styles within the hair once all pins were out. the first style was simply what the hair was like once released and the other was done by literally shaking the mannequins head upside down and gently putting your hand through it, the result for that was a 70's Esq. Jessica Lange look with flicks in the hair. The photo is dreadful but the actual finish was such a juxtaposition to the original it was impressive to my little mind how much it could be change by taking pins out and shaking out.

Estella - Creating the character

The makeup for Estella was delicate and 'pretty' the colours I used were done to suit Kyomi's richer skin tone, a light orange and brown mix on the lids that works because its only a couple shades darker then her actual colouring, the face has been contoured but also highlighted to created a dewy look for my model. Lips are simply patted onto with a pinky rose colour that just adds more colouring to the naturally lip colouring.

Vivienne Westwood Inspired Look

Products needed

• Supra Colour Palette
• Black Eyeliner
• Sponge
• Small fine angled brush

This Vivienne Westwood look has been a favourite for a while In my last project with the Elizabethan ages I used it for a modern inspiration along side Disclosure. The look is fun full on but also not to complicated to achieve. For this look I used white foundation a little bit of mac lip mix and that was it, if I could re do the look I'd of used a thick eyeliner but overall its quite cool. The white base was applied gently with a sponge as I didn't want the foundation on Emma's face to blend with the white. 

Dark Eyes & Lips

Products needed for this look

Mac lipstick in Film Noir

Mac lip pencil in Vino

Mac Eyeshadow x 15 in Warm Neutral

For this look the base was already complete. Dark lips & Eyes was achieved much like how you'd do smokey eyes but using colouring that were orange and purple in shades. Starting with the lighter colouring on the eyes i then continued to blend and work the eyes with darker shading around the crease. Lips were film nor by mac a colour which is a favourite of mine, lined before lipstick was applied round the edges is mac lip pencil Vino. This look was inspired by the a smokey eyed look from François Nars book called "Makeup your mind express yourself" a must buy and really great for a range of looks and help

Recreating burns with different products

products used:

• Block Gelatine or Kryolan gel in a bottle
• Bowl with water in
• Spatula
• supra colour palette
• glycerin
• Translucent powder/set powder
• fake blood
• A fine brush to apply blood detailing with

Ew what a lovely piece I created. For the burn above I used the block gelatine to form the burn.

1. Place the block gelatine into pot and then heat in the microwave for around 10-15 seconds until melted.

2. Do not stir the jel at all or with get air bubbles in and harden before applied. You have to act quickly with this stuff as it drys within a couple of minutes. Making sure its not to hot before you applied to the models skin and work quickly with a spatula forming the shape of the burn.

3. Cool of the design once the shape is finished using the cool setting on a hair dryer.

4. Once the design is dry, set with some translucent powder

5. Colour the burn with the fine brush adding details like puss or blood to make the wound look sore, I added wound filler underneath some of the burn to look like the blood was actually underneath the burn through the skin.
