Project Evaluation

Overall I enjoyed many aspects of this project, the practical special effects side was interesting and fun to experiment with. Applying bald caps and learning how to make facial hair was my favourite part! I have realised my passion for this side of Makeup and Hair. I also found it interesting researching more about prosthetic's and learning about different body modifications. I feel this project helped me to realise there is much more that can be used on the face and body than just makeup, exploring the different possibilities of what materials are successful and which are not. 

I feel my research helped me to develop my ideas in a fluent way. I am happy with the final designs, even after a couple of attempts for one look as it did not turn out as I had expected. I am glad I gave myself the time to be able to reflect on my images and decide what I wanted to improve the second time round.

I did face a few difficulties with delivery of products and relying on models, but this is always going to be an uncontrollable factor. If I had the chance to do the project once more I would develop my first even further paying more attention to detail. The look was very time consuming and I would have to bear that in mind If I wanted to improve it.

FINAL LOOK 2

 - I included gelatene lumps on the cheekbones in the final look but thought the other images were stronger.

Look 2 Research

I found these images in a magazine which I found interesting, I liked the way the face has been framed almost like a mask. I want to achieve something like this for my second look.

I experimented with stockings on my head and it changed the face dramatically by distorting and pulling it. I think this could work well with a strong makeup look.

Plastic Surgery

Another current form of body modification is through Plastic Surgery something that is becoming more apparent these days. It is effectively changing peoples identities and masking who they really are in order to make them happy and feel more attractive.

Doll Face

I watched this short film by Andrew Huang which I loved called Doll Face. It seems appropriate to the idea of hiding identity through plastic Surgery and changing ourselves because we feel we have too.
