Estella Hair and Make-up Tests

Today I began my initial tests for the hair and make-up design that I have done for Estella.
I wanted to do two looks - a young fresh faced version of Estella and then add some bruising to create a look for her when she was being beaten.

Test number 1: Young Estella.
I am happy with:
Her complexion. I think I applied a good base and although the picture quality was bad, we did test using proper equipment and lighting and the base appeared almost flawless and fresh on film.
Lightly filled eyebrows worked well as did the light blush applied to the cheeks and the pale rose lip colour I used as a stain. 

What I am not happy with:
Hair. The hair needs a lot of work as I was away when we did this in class, however the test shots have allowed me to discover this and I will book studio time and borrow notes off of a classmate in order to improve.


Bruising: This is not the best bruise work I have ever applied HOWEVER I got to experiment with the placement of the bruise and have discovered that bruising along the temple is very effective. I also plan to bruise along the collar bone and will probably lighten the bruise on the eye somewhat.
