Estella Makeup

When i began researching little girls in the victorian times i found an image witch inspired me when i imagine estella she is a very beautiful little girl who is damaged through her harsh upbringing with Miss Havisham and is unaware of her lower class routes. I love the freckles within this image i feel it brings an innocence to her face that natural bare face beauty but the symbol of the freckles in victorian times was seen as a symbol of your lower class routings that you were working outside in the fields. I think this would be an interesting element to bring into my design of Estella as it's a symbol of her routings but an elaborate hair style would show the high class nature she was brought up with.

I feel that the freckles would look very effective in Black and White also. I want to keep the rest of the makeup very natural a slight contour to add a depth and a little mascara but nothing too noticeable as the images are in black and white you can afford to be a little more intense with the colours to show on camera rather than a colour image you would have to keep it very subtle. 

I created some face charts of my inspirational images from my Pinterest using very natural colours: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/477733472944448720/

Each face chart shows all products used and although they both look very similar the colourings of the pinks used within each differ. 

I then decided i wanted to see how the colours looked onto the skin as in paper they show up a lot brighter i preferred the colours on the skin for my second face chart as they were a lot more natural although you could still see them they didn't look fake onto the skin unlike the top face chart. Furthermore within black and white the colours looked very subtle. 

I wanted to further practise with freckles and this is the outcome below. I thought in black and white the freckles looked very realistic and natural and added a sweetness to the image the rest of the makeup came out well into black and white and looks very natural and pretty witch was the look i was aiming for i added a pink pale eye shadow obviously onto the centre of the lip, nose and inside eye i feel this adds depth and a plumpness so i will add this into my final Estella design.
