Brave New World: Final Designs

F I R S T D E S I G N - 'P U R E T R I B E'

For my first look, as discussed recently on my blog, I would like to symbolise Albinism in a way of beauty and purity - Due to the fact of how badly effected African albinos are treated. When really they are just like every other person, however they are seen as a massive outcast and many believe albinos are somewhat magic and can cure illness...many horrific events have taken place in the past few years because of this. Therefore I would like to shed some positive light upon the beauty of their skin. I also researched into the fact that I couldn't find any albino who were part of a tribe or at least had traditional african make-up or scarification - Which gave me a thought on what light skin look would look like when scarred as intensely as they have. So I was inspired to create a design that portrayed a westernised version of an African tribal look and embracing the paleness whilst creating my own scarification design. I went with symmetric designs across the face and simply kept everything white. Even though the look is quite simple using just white, I felt it will quite striking and effective with the 3D scars across and down the face. Because I will be applying a white foundation all over the face and body, I didn't want to loose dimension, therefore will use a a matte taupe brown along the contours of the face and collar bones, to not only add depth but also add a little colour.

CREATING THE SCARS - (before all make-up) Using Tuplast, apply from tube (face chart showing diagram)
FACE - Illamasqua skin base in white (All over face, neck, chest and arms)
EYES - With mascara wand, dip in white and coat the eyebrows and eyelashes by combing the white through thoroughly.
Lips - White supra colour
POWDER - Illamasqua (applying at the end)
CONTOUR - Using Illamasqua blush in Disobey - hollows of the cheeks, eye socket and collar bones.

As for my second look, I decided to base my idea on the tribal scarification and traditional african face paint and researching into what their scars signify. A couple of elements from the first look will be used, such as hints of white face paint. However overall the look is very different, from the use of colour and shapes and different special effects.

I wanted a simple element of scarification on the face by creating gelatine spots, I didn't want to use too many or too big as I wanted it quite subtle yet effective.

I will use black face paint (supra colour) to create strong contour on the cheek bones, applying the product with a straight edge to create that precise line. Everything in this design is quite symmetrical, similar to the first look. To add some contrast and a link to the first look I will use hints of white, being on the lips and underneath the eyes and bottom eyelashes. When I think of african face paint, I instantly see colour, therefore wanted to add some yellow to signify traditional african face paint.

H A I R -

I want most of the attention on the face and to create a clean slick look, however to create more of an elaborate style, and a little bit more interesting, to add a big backcombed bun on top of the head. - The model I am using has very long hair, therefore will have a much bigger bun than the one on the right.
