Face Chart and Concept
Look 1
I feel it is very important to consider the purpose of this look in order to fulfill the brief set. In order to create a fashion focused look suitable for a music video with the theme of a Gothic Urban Legend; The Clown Statue I have completely stripped back my previous ideas and developed a simple yet eye catching design. Using elements from the classic clown makeup I have put my own twist on the corpse paint makeup worn by some rock metal bands. Mixing these two concepts has helped me develop my own personal style taking inspiration from all my previous research.
Using black and white pigment powders will allow me to create a soft blended 'clown smile'. Adding the sharp fire shaped triangles adds an edge and discomfort to this look. Using only color on the nose will allow the red to really pop on the face. To create the circular red nose I will use a dark red gloss which will give the appearance of blood, this blood will have been taken from the murdered children in the house which the clown has brutally killed.
This look will show subtle signs of insanity; the eyes bleeding black and the jagged mouth. I will keep the skin paled down using Illamasqua skin base in white and derma blend in fawn. This will allow me to achieve a perfectly flawless base to the skin (essential for film.)

Styling - Look 1
I wanted to introduce a traditional element into this look. For a music video the styling is just as important as the makeup and hair. I feel a black and white corset is the perfect way to capture a traditional clown inspired look with a fashion edge. I also feel the stripes will contrast well against the black and white makeup and bright red hair. Amazingly I found this corset (brand new with tags) for £15 on Ebay which was originally £75! It is perfect to create the look I am aiming to achieve. Although the only set back is that it is a size 4-6 and will mean I need a tiny model to fit it.
