Practicing Miss Havisham

For my Miss Havisham makeup design I chose to do Miss Havisham aged, using techniques such as the ageing technique which we learned in class.

Products used:

• Supra Colour palette (red, blue, green, yellow and white)
• Foundation Palette (Alabaster)
• Foundation Brush
• Small angled brush
• Disposable mascara wand
• Cotton buds

Technique:

• I started off by applying a very pale base using the foundation palette, I mixed the palest shade (alabaster) and the Illamasqua skin base together to create a pale colour, I applied it all over the face, down the neck and on the ears and blended well into the hairline
• I then mixed blue, red, green and yellow from the Supra colour palette to create a dark brown shade
• Using a clean angled brush I asked my model to pull various faces to achieve the natural wrinkles in her face, as I applied the brown that I had made into the wrinkles
• Using my fingers and cotton buds I blended out the lines that I made in the forehead, frown lines, hallows of her cheeks, smile lines, crows feet
• I mixed a red and a tiny bit of white from the supra colour palette and applied using a rounded shadow brush, under the eyes (in the eye sockets) and around the nose to give a worn out effect
• Mixing grey and a bit of yellow, I made the colour for the eyebrows and eyelashes. I applied this with a mascara wand, going against the eyebrow hair to create sparse brows
• For the lips I asked my model to screw up her lips and I lightly applied a base over them to create a wrinkled lip effect
