My Hair ideas

• The picture of dorian gray was set in the late 19th century which means the hairstyle I create needs to conform to this era. 
• As Sibyl is quite a elegant and beautiful character I would expect her hair to be quite princess like. Which means it should involve a lot of curls and for it to look very put together but not perfect as I want her to look upset.

Continuity

How I imagine Sibyl to look

Sibyl Vane 

As she is Dorians first love I feel that she would be a very elegant and beautiful girl to have caught his attention. Making my own version of this character I would want to make my model look immaculate and perfect with glowing skin with lovely princess like hair as she is a very innocent and delicate character.
When I create my version of this character I would like to base it just before she takes her own life so with her crying and very weak looking as it is a turning point in Dorian's life as he starts to realise that the painting is growing old instead of him and he is also filled with guilt when he realises that Sibyl has taken her own life.
I would like my model to wear something blue to suggest her status and have also chosen a model with fair skin as I feel it is best suited for my chosen character.
I imaging Sibyl to be quite shy and elegant which I would want to come across within my images. This may be portrayed through what she is wearing and the pose she would be in. Also with me choosing to represent her before she takes her own life I will need to capture the feeling of being very down and upset through the makeup and hair.
I want her to have tears running down her face, perfect hair but a little messy as she is upset, a red nose and cheeks as people get a bit flustered when they are upset.

Practising Continuity 2

Comparing this to the first bruised jaw I did I feel there is very subtle differences and that I was able to follow the steps I did for the first attempt. However if I was to improve this I would blend it out more as some of the colours I used look a bit too harsh. However I still feel that this looks quite effective. Also I feel that for my first attempt/practise of continuity I did quite well. However for my actual continuity the makeup is quite simple the main thing I'm worried about with the makeup is recreating the tear as it is something I need to add just before I take the picture and I don't want to practise it too much as it will make it hard for my to be happy with the end results as I will have loads of practises to compare it to. Also with my design the hair is very complex and I will struggle greatly recreating it as the hairstyle is quite detailed and includes a bow which I need to ensure is in the same place as before. However I feel if I take my time and practise the aspects i'm worried about it should be fine.

Practising continuity 1

To start I used the Illamasqua primer to make the base quite shiny and radiant as bruises are quite shiny to start with. Then I got a small amount of yellow on the back of my hand then using a foundation brush I patted it onto my jaw line and blended it out with my hand to ensure it wasn't as prominent as it was initially. Then I started by adding some red to make the area more of a pink colour as my base for all of the other colours I am going to be using. Then add more red in patches to show irritation and tender parts. However looking at it at this stage I felt the red was too bright so added some purple to dull the red out. This also was still too bright so I decided to mix the red with a tiny bit of black to darken it up so certain parts will stand out. Also ensure it is brought down the next as I kept it on the jaw and realised it looked too fake.
Something that worries me about continuity and how easy it is to tell if it doesn't look the same and as a makeup artist you need it to look exactly the same. It can ruin a makeup artist if it isn't as you wont be taken seriously.

Creating tears

When I used Glycerin over the top of the base I had already put on the face didn't work very well as the Glycerin mixed with the foundation. This might have been because I didn't powder the face which stopped the Glycerin from just rolling down the face.
I thought making the skin look clear and glowing would suit my chosen character but it doesn't work well with the Glycerin so I will try my models foundation with it and if it doesn't work then I will just use moisturiser and concealer under the eyes and will correct any imperfections.
 Also when looking at films with someone crying I looked closely at the makeup and where they had used it. The typical places tend to be the nose, the cupids bow and under the eyes and brows. I wanted to try using the glycerin under the nose and from the inner corner of the eyes to make the model look upset and flustered.
When creating tears I got Glycerine onto the end of a brush and dabbed it onto the skin until there was enough to fall down the face.

Health and Safety
It is important to keep the Glycerine away from the eyes as if it gets into the eyes it can hurt the model which will ruin the makeup and can hurt the models eyes.
