Creating Estella's look

     For our informal part of the assessment we had to create a look for one of the characters from the Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, Estella. Here are my creations:

This is my first look that I created for Estella's character. I tried to maintain a natural look but still contouring a little the face. I also wanted to put in avidence the eyes by applying the mascara and some black eyeshadow aroung the eye-line. Also on the eyes I thought to apply a soft make-up with a light brown colour on the eye-lid. A peachy (very natural and light colour) as a blusher. And glossy redish lips.
I thought that this look could be good for a modern version of Estella, because As I needed to maintain the aspect of that particular period of time, the make-up must be as natural as possible, nearly invisible on the camera, because these are what the Victorian Beauty required.


    This is my second design for the same cahracter, Estella. This make-up includes a natural make-up for eyes and natural skintones tor the face, with peachy blusher a little bit of contouring. The lips are glossy pink. A detail that I think captures everyone's attention from my point of view are the eyelashes. I left myself go and I thought that this make-up would look great with fake eyelashes on the upper lid and small pieces of eyelashes on the bottom lids on the outter corners.
    I created this make-up thinking of a fashion catwalk with a topic based on Charles Dickens' character - Estella. And I think it can be very suitable as it is rafinated, natural and soft make-up but that still has a modern touch.

This is the last face chart that I also used as the one for the assessment. I tried to represent a natural look that consists of foundation a a light contouring; a peachy pink blush. On the eyes I wanted a natural make-up in which is used just some highlighter on the innercorner of the eye and under the eyebrow, and a darker shade (brownie) eyeshadow on the outter part of the eyelid. I also applyed some mascara. The lips, I wanted to keep them of a natural colour that tends to pink, even if on my face chart it looks orange.
