FINAL LOOK 2 

'The Final Girl'

Evaluation  

Overall I am really pleased with my final images for look 2. The quality of these images is a lot higher than my first shoot when creating the clown. I feel the use of simple makeup contrasting against powerful structured hair has come together really well. 

From the start I really wanted to focus on capturing a fashion focused image within my characters and I believe these images do this perfectly. Taking inspiration from makeup campaigns from Illamasqua and fashion designers like Gareth Pugh I have put my own twist on 'The Final Girl'.
Although these images are fashion focused it was still essential to capture the Gothic horror theme within the looks. To help achieve this within these looks a instructed my model to look shocked, it almost seems like the clown is right in front of her; just out of shot. This creates a suspense and mystery often seen within Gothic horror films.

CHOSEN MAKEUP IMAGE

I have chosen this image as my final picture to present the makeup design for my concept of 'The final girl' my second character from my chosen Urban Legend. 

Her skin looks flawless and the blending of the purple contouring and bright purple lips adds an edge to a simple makeup design. I used a range of products to create this look including Barry M's dazzle dust. This loose pigment powder allowed me to achieve a blended look mixing a range of colours to create my own shade of powder. 

The lips look really intense in this image, although I originally wanted to produce an 'ombre' feel to the lips they ended up being more multi-tonal. If I was to reproduce this image I would experiment more with different lip products and play with better way to create an ombre look.
