Technical File - Horror meets Fashion


In this practical lesson, we looked at examples of make-ups for Fashion that are inspired by the Horror genre. There was various pictures of examples laid out at the front that we chose from to recreate. Above is the image that I selected and above that is my creation.

Products Used:

  • Kryolan Supracolor (greasepaint) - black, white, pink and purple.

How to:

To create this look, I a soft brush and used a blending motion to create the effect. I layered on the colours, starting with the lightest first and going darker. On the eyebrows, I used an angled brush. I applied white on the face very lightly using a soft brush and a light stippling motion.

Evaluation / Feedback:

I found the eye area easy and fun to create. Looking back at the pictures I realised I should have brought more colour up to the inner eyebrows as there is a space there, and  I had finished where her actual eyebrows stopped rather than the ones I had drawn on. The eyebrows I drew on are too round and not straight like the original image due to me following her eyebrow shape rather than going against it. I hadn't really noticed that there should have been more of an application of white on the lower part of the face as it looks quite faded in the image and made the effect I did on the lips stand out too much in contrast. Despite this, I am quite happy with the outcome and is definitely close as a recreation.
