Ideas for Miss Havishim's look

Apart from the design I pubblished before for creating my Miss Havisham's look I experimented with some other designs as well:
With this design I tried to show a kind of old Miss Havisham, this is why she has wrinkles on her forehead and around her eyes. Using the redish colour under the eyes I wanted to show her being tired, and I also thought that it could show her broken heart. I left the lips with no colour because I thought to make them look dry and pale. The reason why I didn't choose this face chart as the final one is because I think the eye make-up is too sophisticated to be right for the Victorian age, as during that perios they didn't wear a lot of make up, because the real beaty was considered the natural beauty.



The other design for this project was the following in which I wanted to represent Miss Havisham in some years after her wedding disapointment. This is the reason why I didn't want her to look old, but I still wanted to make her look tired making circles under her eyes, and for showing the passing of the time I thought to make her lips look pale and dry and making dry skin on her right cheek bone. The upper part of the eyes are dark because in my point of view it makes her look cruel and at the same time the eye make-up is not simetrical because in some years after the wedding her actual make-up cannot look as perfect as it was during the wedding day. So I decided to maintain the idea of this design for my  final design but still changing some details.









This is the final design that I used during the assessment for this project. In this design I kept the semplicity of the previous one , but still adding several details. I also kept the dry skin on the cheek-bone trying to make it obvious on the facechart using the latex.  Using the dark colours around the inner corners of the eyes I wanted to show the dark circles around the eyes, so that it can give the impression of a tired person but at the same time trying to create the look of the person who had difficulties and disapointments in their life. The broken- hearted persons don't care about their looks and especially in Dickens' description, Miss Havisham never changed her look as well as anything in her day by day life, after the criel disapointment she had. I added redness around her eye-lines to make all these characteristics look more obvious. Also she has smudged red lips, besed also on the principle of imperfection as in years after the wedding the make-up cannot be as perfect as it was during the ceremony. The lips are of a deep red because I iamgine Miss Havisham biteing her lips till they are bleeding and having as well some reshish lipstick from her wedding day and also when drinking water I imagine her drying her moth by smudging the deep red coulour she har on her lips.
