Make-up Design ideas and Fashion Styling Ideas

Within my research I started looking into witchcraft on the catwalks and within high fashion. I have found some really inspiring images which make me think about my make-up designs even more for Claudia. I love the idea of bleach white skin, completely deathly pale as she never leaves the house she would never get any vitamin D so she would be deathly white. I have also been thinking about shading and contouring over the face, very strong contouring under the cheek bones to create a frail thin look, my model Kellie, is already thin but this will add a gaunt look to her very beautiful face. I am using a very dark purple/almost black Revlon lipstick, I am then using Sleek’s natural eye palate on the eyes. I will be using the black, and will be creating almost a mask flowing from the scalp each sides of the temple flowing over the eyes and the nose, to look like she dunked her hand into a bucket of paint and in her possessed state smothered it across her eyes to symbolize how evil she is, how she is no longer a little girl, she is a dark witch.

For the styling I have made a button necklace for her to wear around her collar of her white shirt, I am dressing Claudia and Quentin in pure white short sleeved shirts, with their top button done up, Quentin’s is a plain man’s shirt but Claudia’s is a more girly versions with detailing. The white shirts add parts of up to date fashion to the look, doing your shirt top button up, represents a good person at school when you’re a child, but in the adult world it is seen as very “stylish” to do so. 

Button Eye's - Claudia and Quentin

After reading and watching both versions of corline, it is defiantly a massive source of inspiration toward this project, i am feeling more confident about using buttons for the eyes of Quentin as if Cluadia has sewn them on so he cant look at other women. I always used to have an obsession with the story and film of Coroline when i was younger so it is very close to my heart. The way it made me shiver whenever it showed the image of the buttons next to the needle, it used to give me nightmares when i was little,so  I feel very influenced by the feelings the film used to give me.

I have began practising sticking buttons to my male model Williams eye lids, they stay perfectly and I love the effect they have. Making his eyes look very creepy and all his emotion has almost been taken away, its very hard showing emotions without using your eyes.

Song Decisions

I have narrowed it down to two songs. Both are love songs but i feel teamed with my designs they will add a very creepy and obsessive atmosphere in a music video. I also want a "Kitch" "Hipstermatic" atmosphere to my music video/images/song.

The first song is: Lovin' you - Minnie Riperton

This song is a very loving song, all about her expressing her extreme love of a man she wants to spend the rest of her life with, it is a lovely song , but I think teamed with my images it could create a truly eery feel, if you close your eyes and imagine my Claudia and Quentin dancing around eerily in her incredibly kistch  and tacky in a retro/vintage way and she slowly ties Quentin up so he can never leave and sews buttons in his eyes so he cant look at another women to this song.  It defiantly goes in the most opposite way possible.

The second song is Perfect Day - Lou Reed, who is an iconic and simply amazing person, I think this song could be more interpreted with my characters as a man being forced to sing these words of love to a girl who is torturing him. I like this song but im not sure it sends as good of an atmosphere as my first choice.

Hair Designs and Ideas - Claudia

I am been looking through research and creating designs for Claudia also and in our class we learnt how to do a perfect slick back hair style from runways, it creates a stern and espaically with a center parting it can look very cruel and a wanted it a little too perfect and my model Kellie i have adapted it to her hair, as she has very long dark brown hair almost down to her hips. It is also very curly so i have planned and practiced smoothing the top of the hair down so its ticked behind her ears and then from her ears down its very curly and wild.

I think the half and half effect will express some of her personality the madness and crazy curls will represent what goes on in her head and the voices but the smooth top layer will show her OCD and attention to detail and obsessiveness over Quentin.

Hair Plans and Inspiration - Quentin

I have created a mood board and plans of how i feel Quentin's hair should be, im going for a greased back 1940's side parting and gelled back away from the face.



Firstly i think this image is just gorgeous, but also his hair is perfect for Quentin, i am wanting to create a slick back smooth no strays 1940's hair style.
