Design

Above is the face design for my Mrs Laderman character. In the 80s, design typically included black, neon, primary colours, pastel colours and geometric shapes (as shown and discussed on my mood board for this character). From this, I chose to follow this as a guideline, but decided to scrap the neon aspects as I felt this is seen as too 'trashy' for my character due to her age and glamours way of living. Therefore, I included black in the eye make-up with black eyeshadow. I made the black harsh on her eyelid but well blended above the lid/below the brow as this was typically done in the 80s era. As my character is set in modern times, just influenced but the 80s (her prime time), I decided to leave out the bold use of blusher, particularly as I didn't want my character to look comical. I chose a bold red lip, which compliments the smokey eye and will also contrast with the pastel colours which I plan to incorporate in my character's styling/costume. I decided hoop earrings were essential as part of my design as it allowed me to incorporate geometric shapes in a way that is subtle but also modern. I also included strong eyebrows and long lashes in my design as this was beauty ideal in the 80s. I decided on messy curls for my design as I felt this would flatter my model's round face shape and also be very typical of the 80s era, particularly as perms were big around this time. As my character is in a scene where she is searching Claudia's house, I decided to add a part where there is tension when Mrs Laderman breaks something and risks waking Claudia up. In her desperation to quickly fix the broken glass, she cuts her hand by accident.
