Costume, hair and makeup preperation

Lucinda

For my makeup (Lucinda) we wanted to make her look Ill and drained. We asked Robyn to come in and told her how we wanted to makeup to look. We told her we wanted Lucinda to look really pale which would make her look unhealthy and unwell. We also asked Robyn to enhance my bone structure to make my face look more hollow and ultimately make me look weak and fragile. Next, we asked Robyn to focus on my eyes. We wanted them to look sunken in very heavy. Robyn started by putting some purple eye shadow on the waterline of my eyes making them appear bigger. After Robyn applied the purple, she took a brown eye shadow and applied it under my eyes. This overall made my eyes look indented and the main focal point of my facial features.

 

Due to my hair being fairly long and naturally quite wavy, we decided to leave it natural. Although, my hair itself is quite thin, so, what we decided to do is comb the top of the hair making it appear quite greasy and backcombed the bottom of I making it appear thicker. We though that a middle parting would look better as my hair could hide part of my face making the character appear more mysterious.

Finally, we found a long white Victorian style nightgown for Lucinda's outfit. The dress was slightly oversized in essence made Lucinda appear frail and fragile. The dress looks like and old fashioned hospital gown which allowed the audience to identify that's she's mentally unstable.

 

 

Overall, I feel we achieved the look we was aiming for.

Psychiatrist

For the Psychiatrists makeup, we wanted to make her look older and very professional. Therefore we kept her makeup to a minimal and gave it a sophisticated feel. Firstly, we added a small amount of foundation to make her skin tone look even and smooth. Due to the psychiatrist wearing glasses, we came to the conclusion that her eyes will not be a focal point of her makeup so we added a small amount of mascara to her lashes. We then decided to put red lipstick on her lips as we thought it gave her an elegant look and made her lips appear larger and plumper. For the Psychiatrists hair, I placed it in a low loose bun and curled the strands of loose hair at the front, again making her appear very sleek and professional.

 

 

For the psychiatrists outfit, we dressed her in a white blouse with a skin tight pencil skirt and black tights. This made demi look older and sophisticated. The white lab coat helped us to identify that she was a Dr and made her look certified and trained. Finally, the black heals made her appear taller which completed the whole outfit.

 

Overall, I feel we achieved the looked we aimed for.



Translator

For the translator's makeup, we added foundation to make her skin tone appear even and smooth. We wanted to make sure that her makeup was subtle and neutral which would contrast well with her whole outfit so we added black mascara and a small amount of eyeliner to her eyes. This make them appear bigger and accentuates them. Purple lipstick was added to Jades lips to make her look professional and made her look very classy. For the translators hair, we put it in a long sleek pony tail, which allowed her hair to be pinned back from her face.

For the translators outfit, we chose a light brown blouse top and a black pencil skirt. Both colours were very neutral which contrasted well with her makeup. She also wore some black, pointed, sequenced  heals which made her look taller and older.

 

Overall, I feel we achieved the looked we aimed for.
