make-up ideas

I noticed, when I was trying the masks on, that the eyes are very obvious, so I started looking at the eye make-up. I tried several colours, and the results varied, some worked exceptionally well, others, not so much.

The first colours I tried were black and white - the black I used was not strong enough and made me look like I had a black eye, while the white was barely noticeable and somehow made my eye look smaller .

My second ideas was with yellow and purple - but I put cream eyeshadow down first this time which made the colours much more vivid. The purple went really well with the multi-coloured mask, so I decided to try the other two masks on as well to see if it only looked good with the purple in the mask. Neither yellow or purple eyeshadow went with the other masks, they just just looked sea-monster-ish

My final combination of colours was dark blue and (another, different) black eyeshadow, again using cream eyeshadow underneath.
The dark colours both brought out the eyes, as well as blending them better into the masks. The blue worked with the black and gold mask less well than the others, so over all I have chosen to use the second black with cream eyeshadow with the masks on the actual shoot.

I also tested lipsticks with the mask:

orange-bronze lipstick

 red-bronze lipstick

red lipstick





pink lipstick

Overall, I prefer the orange-red lipstick, and will use it in the shoot. I may take them all with me to the shoot anyway, though.

I looked at clothes my model could wear, I think that they would all suit the model equally and the masks would not all go well with each of the dresses.

The jacket, I have ruled out on the grounds that it barely fits me and the model using is a size larger than myself. The dress may not fit her, but as I feel it would match the feathered mask exceptionally well - as it is a very fancy, occasion dress, like the mask is less party dress and more occasion dress.

The yellow dress I think would work well with the coloured mask, purely because it is coloured. The black and lace dress would, I think, work best with the lace patterned black and gold mask.


I have also taken my models hair into account, I felt a simple up-do would draw the eye more to the mask, as well as looking rather classy. The first idea was to try something similar to how I wore my hair for my school prom two years ago, the models hair is much shorted than my own, so most of the ends were hard to tuck away

 

The most important part of the hair style was that it should be able to stand a hair-band style mask hold, as well as a tie-back mask, which it managed.

The feathered black mask has had its attachment changed to a tie-back fastening, as the mask itself was too big and liable to slip down while it had a hair-band.

The model also suggested a half-up-half-down hair style, but the pins loosened when she put the back tie mask on, and got caught, so we decided against it, despite the fact that it looked quite nice.
