I found this video and found that it was very similar to the lip images i had been collecting on my Pinterest for Claudia the glossyness and perfect element is something i wanted to include in my characterisation of her. The colour and texture of the dripping effect to me symbolises a sexual element within the video something i had touched on when researching music video interpritations of horror films and how adding a sexual element takes a classic horror situation and turns it into a more contemporary fashion image/video.
This further to me had a vampirest feel to it the red lip colour dripping from the mouth is reminiscent of blood to me the visuals of vampier's are a lot more glamorous than other horror characters such as zombies or demands and to me this is what makes it gothic horror. The glamorisation of vampier's has been a huge thing in Europe and America from films such as Twilight, Buffy and True blood using that vampy look within the styling has further been used within high fashion such as the classic dark plum red lip and alabaster white skin favoured by designers such as Alexandra McQueen's run way shows.
The image below by Steve prue by Artillery magazine i feel portrays the vampy style while adding the dominate female feel the short hair cut adds a rough element. The feel of this image with the candid positioning is something i would like to create within my own final images.

Below i have created a face chart based on the inspiration of this video, i have explored from the begging the perfect finish I imagine this look to be very glossy and perfect the lips i want to be high gloss mirroring the dripping effect within the video above. The base i would like very pale but with a luminosity to it as shown in the picture alongside creating that vampier magical element. This contrasts against the strong dominate black winged eye to me this explores the femme fetale idea of the woman being mysterious, men being wary of her i feel this eye creates a strong effect.
