After developing my hair design i began to have a lot of inspiration from ghost using 'the grudge' like look with the hair waving down onto the face to symbolise this unearthly human that i feel Claudia is i wanted this to carry this on within my makeup design. When looking at the image on the right hand side of the mood board above further used within my Hair design mood board this inspired me to find a way in incorporating this masking hair look within the design but not masking the face entirely. I began looking on Pinterest -( http://gb.pinterest.com/milliejohns/claudia/ )and found these other images i love the way the ink within the middle two images runs down from the deep black eyes it looks unearthly and gohstly but the running creates the effect of crying this human emotion that we can relate to. I love this idea that Claudia has created herself into a unearthly (ghostly) being but using this idea like symbolism for a very real human characteristic i feel creates a rawness and reality within her own situation of being alone and stuck in her house.
Below i have created a face chart of how i imagine it all to look. I have creates a simple allabasque base with a deep set contour. I wanted the deep purple, plum red ombre glossy lip colour to create a high fashion sexuality to the image something the viewer can relate to yet the string from the underneath lash line is very unsettling and eerie mirroring whats happening within the hair being brought down onto the face, i further added a orange red underneath the eye to create a variation in colour and a tiered look similarly to the look created for the Giles A/W 2013 catwalks (as discussed before).
