Horror and Fashion

This was an introduction to the next part of this project. During this session we had to recreate a chosen look that combines horror and fashion. I chose to create this look by as it is commonly wore at catwalks and runways. Along with being a popular look for catwalks it also is a little freaky as you would not see a random person wearing this as a everyday look and this is where the horror side of it kicks in. To create this look I firstly, applied foundation as a base to my model's skin and powdered it in place using translucent powder apart from the part that the black strip would go across the face.

This is because I used black supra colour for the black strip and if I powdered that bit the black would go patchy. This is because it is powder on powder and cream on cream as the foundation and supra colour are both cream products. I also used supra colour as the original image has a glossy look to it and I thought using flash the supra colour would give the same effect without powdering over the top. Using a small brush I lightly outlined the basic shape that is visible in the original image and then went in with a medium sized brush.

 Looking at the original image I then realised that you can be as free as you want with the design as long as you get the basic main curve shape that joins in between the eyebrows. I also noticed that the black  got darker just in the inner corners of the eyes slightly fading outwards.Looking at the overall look I recreated I think that it could have been better as the sides are not pretty equal. One of the sides is lower and more round than the other. Also the original image has a more messy look whereas my recreation is a little neat however, I tried messing it a little on the forehead.
