Make Up Trial #2.

Channeling news reporters and political leaders flawless appearence we created a make-up trial on one of our team members; Lucy.



Make Up Trial # 1.

Following the Youtube video step by step, I trialled the black eye on a friend to see how the effects came across on camera, and which colour combinations were most effective. Although not the same materials were used as on the Youtube video, I found that as long as the basic structure, colour and idea was there, you could improvise quite a lot. I think it worked effectively, and with the exact right matte colours, it would be possible to make it look very realistic and accurate. Although this was only a quick trial, it helped us to get an idea of the look and worked well overall. 

Film Make up Research

So I've been looking a little bit into make up research in links with our storyboard idea, to see how we can effectively make someone look beaten up. One video that I've come across on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvcePKwOgpM) is a video tutorial of how to do this look. I think it works really effectively, and I am going to attempt to recreate this look to see if it can be translated just as well to camera. It also made me think that the dark hair really aids the make up and would work effectively for our main character within the cult, as a specific when casting. I look forward to trying out this, and am excited to see the outcome.
