How to:

1. Prep the skin. Cleanse, tone and moisturise to create a clean, even base.

2. Prime the skin with Illamasqua Matte Primer.

3. Mix the lightest shade of foundation from the ultra foundation palette, along with Illamasqua white skin base. Apply this to the centre of the face and blend out with a buffing brush making sure it blends into the skin. Dont forget the ears, neck and hands.

4. Set with Illamasqua translucent powder. 

5. Contour the face with the grey shadows. Build up the colour with the Brilliant Colour Palette. Work into the eye sockets, jaw line and cheek bones. The aim is to hollow out the face. 

6. With a small angled brush, work into the natural lines of the face with a light brown from the Brilliant Colour Palette. Create the look of wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, and lips. 

7. Apply red and pink shadows around the eye to make them look soar from the tears. Apply Crimson eyeliner by Kryolan to the water line. 

8. Apply vaseline around the eye to give it a swollen appearance. 

9. Apply White Skin Base to the eyelashes and the brows, to age them. 

10. Apply eyelash glue to the lips and rub over with your finger to distress that.

This was my first practice of the eye look. I realised that it didnt show up well on camera and that I needed to enhance it.

This was my second practice after I'd enhanced the eye look to make it stand out on camera more. I was a lot happier with this.

I want to communicate the idea that Miss Havisham eyes are swollen and red from crying. 

Miss Havisham Hair Style Practise

Products:

-Pintail Comb

-Paddle Brush

-Hair bands

-Hair Grips

-Curling Tongs

-Dry Shampoo

-Accessories

Method:

1. Section the hair into a Y shape from the from of the head. This should create two front sections and a large back section with a middle part.

2. With the section of hair at the back of the head, twist the hair into a bun in the middle of the head. 

3. With the front section, create a severe, clean middle parting using a pintail comb.

4. Curl the hair tightly towards the face at the sides of the face, so that the curls fall on the cheeks and finish at the chin. Backcomb these to create a messy effect. 

5. Spritz the hair with dry shampoo, building up around the roots.

6. I applied a veil to the hair over the bun.

This was my final look. I think it turned out how I wanted it too and so im pleased. Although I think it will be hard to recreate but because I've practiced it a lot that should help.
