Contemporary Victorian Hairstyles inspired by American Horror Story Series
Equipments:
- A comb, a paddle brush, a tail comb, a wide tooth comb
- Hair tongs
- Sectioning clips
- Hair pins
- Bobby pins
Step 2: Divide the hair into a side parting. After that, divide the hair into front and back sections (the back sections start from the ears.
Step 3: The front section: For the side parting part, create 2 curls on top and make sure when u curl them, pull the hair up and roll into the hair tong nice and tight. The curls should roll in the and follow the direction of the side parting. To remove the hair tong from the hair, turn the tong slightly and carefully remove it. After curling the hair, use hair pins to secure the curls on the hair.
Step 4: For the hair below the three curls on the top, you can create one or two curls. But this time, the curl will roll towards the face and when curling the hair, remember to forward the hair away from the face and then roll the hair into the hair tong. This will help the top part of the hair look nicer and more tight. Do the same for the other side of the front section as well, remember when curling the hair, the curl should roll towards the face.
Step 5: For the back section, start from the crown area and create curls ( the curls should lie horizontally). Then, secure the shape with hair pins.

Step 2: Use the wide tooth comb because you don't want to pull out the curls and carefully comb the top part of the hair. It helps to bring the hair together and also makes the hair look more volume and don't look flat.
Step 3: Take a piece of hair on the side and roll the hair. Secure the front part of the hair with bobby pins and use a hair pins to secure the back part (lift the pin up and bring down). Do the same on the other side as well.
Step 4: Loose the front part of the hair a bit and then pin the curls. Use the bobby pins to pin down the area where the curls will not fell and then use a hair pin to secure the curl. During the lesson, I have joined the three curls together, but you can do it separately and pin them down individually.

Step 2: Use the paddle brush and take a section of hair into your hands. Bring the brush underneath and over the top so to create a nice wave shape. For the front part of the hair, you can use hair spray to fix the shape and it will create a nice curve of hair.
Hairstyle 3:

Step 1: In order to create hairstyle 3, after you have brushed through the hair, like hairstyle 2, shake the head and hairstyle three is done! You can use the wide tooth comb to lift up the hair at the front a bit so to make the hair look more volume.
Thoughts about the lesson:
In this lesson, I've learnt the importance of positioning the curls and the direction how you curl the hair affects what the hairstyle will look like at the end. I'm appreciate with the hairstyles that I've done during lesson and in order to improve next time, for hairstyle 2, I should brush the end part a bit more so to make it look more neat and create a nicer wave hairstyle.

- An apron
- Eye shadow colour used - Vanilla ,Brown, Black colour
- Black eyeliner
- Lip pencil liner
- A lipstick
- A lip brush
- Eye shadow brushes
- An angle brush

- Disposable mascara
2: Start with applying the lightest colour of eye shadow (Vanilla) colour on the whole eyelids first.
3: Then, Apply the brown eye shadow on the eyelid. Use a clean eye shadow brush to blend out the edges.
4: Use the black eye shadow and apply it on the outer lid and lower lash line. Use a clean eye shadow brush to blend the edges of the black eye shadow and also allow the black colour blend with the brown colour.
5: Apply the black eyeliner on the upper and lower lash line.
6: Apply the mascara with a disposable mascara.
7: For the lips, use a lip pencil liner first to outline the shape and it helps to make the lip shape more clearly seen. Then, apply the lipstick on the lips.
http://www.thefashionspot.com/images/tfs2010/2012/March/strong-eyes.jpg |
Step 1: Apply the black eye shadow on the eyelid and after that, blend out the edges with a clean eye shadow brush to create the smoky eyes effect.
Step 2: In order to create bold black smokey eyes, I have built up more layers of black eye shadow and blend out the edges again.
I have created a dramatic, bold black smokey eyes makeup look and on above are the photos taken after I've finished the look.
At home, I have practiced the black smokey eyes on myself this time.
Equipments:
- Cleanse, toner, moisturizer
- An apron
- Illamasqua eye shadow palette
- MAC mixing medium gel
- MAC Black lip mix
- Eye shadow brushes
- Angle brushes
- A lip brush
As for my Claudia's design, I have decided to use clown for my character ideas, I have found a black and white photo from the Internet of a clown because I want to practice creating shapes around the eyes and also it allows me to practice more of how to create a clown makeup.
The reason I choose this photo is because I like the shape around the eyes of the clown in the photo.
For the left hand side, I have used black eye shadow mixed with MAC mixing medium gel to create the black shape around my eye. I have also used black eye shadow to soften out the edges of the shape. The disadvantage on mixing the MAC mixing medium gel with black eye shadow is that when apply to the skin, the colour wasn't very even.
For the right hand side, I have only used black eye shadow to create the shape and also I have used an eye shadow brush to soften out the edges.
Dark Lips:
For the dark lips, I have used the black lip mix with an angle brush to line out the edges first. After that, I have filled in the lips with the black lip mix.
In order to improve next time, for the eye makeup on the right, I should draw the shape bigger so as to balance the two side. Also, I can blend out the edges a bit more so to create a more softer texture.

Creating light scars using moulds
By using a mould, it is especially useful for continuity work as you can use the same mould and create the same shape each time. To make a scar from the mould, first, you will need to spray the petrolease release spray onto the mould. Then, use the silicone (you can mix some colour pigment onto the silicone so to make it matches the skin tone) and pour it into the mould and then wait for it to dry. After that, remove it from the mould carefully.
Equipments:
2) Then, after the pros-aide gets tacky and clear, stick the mould and use your hands to press it onto the skin.
3) After that, use the witch hazel and rub it onto the edges of the mould with a baby bud in backwards and forwards motion in order to smoothen and blend out the edges.
4) Apply loose powder onto the mould to reduce shine.
5) Use a foundation colour which is suitable and matches your model's skin tone.
6) Use the red colours from the supracolor palette and apply it onto the mould to create blood effects.
7) Apply the wound filler onto the middle of the mould.
8) After that, apply some blood onto and around the mould to create bleeding effects and make the scar more realistic.
Equipments:
- Baby buds
- A fine brush
- A spatula
- Wound filler
- Blood
- A scar mould
- Witch hazel
- Pros-aide
- Loose powder
- A puff
- Foundation palette
- Supracolor palette
- Orange stipple sponge
2) Then, after the pros-aide gets tacky and clear, stick the mould and use your hands to press it onto the skin.
3) After that, use the witch hazel and rub it onto the edges of the mould with a baby bud in backwards and forwards motion in order to smoothen and blend out the edges.
4) Apply loose powder onto the mould to reduce shine.
5) Use a foundation colour which is suitable and matches your model's skin tone.
6) Use the red colours from the supracolor palette and apply it onto the mould to create blood effects.
7) Apply the wound filler onto the middle of the mould.
8) After that, apply some blood onto and around the mould to create bleeding effects and make the scar more realistic.
- Fixing spray - use it before putting the blood and it helps to make the colours stay longer.
The pro-aide is like a glue and it helps to stick prosthetic products onto the skin.
Remember in order to remove pros-aide from the skin, you will need to use the pro-clean cleansing oil.
Pros-aide and Petrolease release spray
Creating light scars using mould in lesson:
On above, I have done a scar makeup on my friend's hand using the mould and I'm pleased with the results of how it looks. I found the most difficult part is to blend the edges of the mould onto the skin using baby bud and witch hazel as for this time, I should have cut the edges of the mould a bit more. I really like the effects of the blood which creates a bit shine on the scar and also the wound filler because of how they make the scar look more realistic.

Miss Havisham's Continuity Assessment
On below are the photos taken on the first assessment day of my final Miss Havisham design.
Model : Lilianna Jaroszewska |
2nd assessment
On below are the photos taken on the second assessment for my Miss Havisham design. During the assessment, I refer to the photos taken on the last assessment so to make sure the details are the same as last time. I'm pleased with the results of the look this time and by creating the hand chart, it helps me a lot as I can follow how it looks like and where the scratches, dry skin and veins are positioned and so I can create the look faster as well. Comparing to the first assessment, I found out that the hair on the top of the second assessment are whiter as I've put too much baby powder on the top. Also, the dark circles and the red colours of the dry skin are lighter in tones on the second assessment while the first assessment are more bolder. The texture of the hair looks different and I think is because during the second assessment, the hair is more oily than the first assessment and so the hair looks flatter than the first one. The lighting on both assessment are different, so the colours on the skin might look a little bit different as well. But overall, I'm pleased with both assessments and I've learnt the importance of creating and doing continuity work throughout this project.
