Before the meeting began, the room was rearranged for the meeting by forming a circle with the

tables and chairs. This was done as it would then be much easier for us to communicate with

everyone without having to turn around constantly, especially when we were presenting and discussing

ideas.


To start off this meeting, we each went round and presented our moodboards and designs for the

character Audrey Two, including any ideas for changes during the show (three changes) and

collaborated with each other on discussing our likes and dislikes for everyone's ideas. This is important

as it can help us develop our ideas for the character in the future. Once everyone had shown their ideas,

we talked about what our designs all had in common: drag theme (this being accentuated eyebrows,

large, glamorous eye makeup and big, overdrawn lips), and the overall colour scheme (green and red).


Some other ideas for Audrey included:

  • Starting off with a matte lip, adding gloss at the changes.

  • The character's appearance is getting more intense.

  • The makeup doesn’t follow the 90’s theme as it is more of a futuristic / alien-like plant.

  • Changing the eyebrows to show more anger / intense emotion - bold, pointy.

  • False lashes.

We also talked about other aspects of the makeup, such as the style and colours:

  • White / pale face.

  • Vibrant pinks and purples for the contour.

  • Drag style for eye makeup.

  • Overdrawn lips.

  • And to try and add blood into the makeup.

We then went over our designs for the three girls. However, our first moodboards and designs didn’t match up to the 90’s theme we were supposed to create, therefore we decided to create one A2 sized moodboard between us consisting of different styles of hair and makeup that was popular in the 90’s. We worked as a team effectively by delegating each other different subcategories to research and gather images for, such as: 90’s models, actors/actresses, magazine adverts and musical icons. Once the moodboard was completed, we decided to get into groups of three to discuss and each create a design for one of the girls to present at the next meeting.

The image above shows the moodboard we all worked together on creating. All of the image

references are shown on the back of the moodboard.

Pantomime Dame makeup evaluation

  For the pantomime dame makeup, I like the outcome of the eye makeup, the orange especially, because I like how it has been blended from dark to light. I also like the eyeliner both on the eyelid and below the eye, including the white, as it enhances the eye shape and size. However, I need to improve on being able to cover up my eyebrows and raising the drawn on ones further up my forehead as they were too far down. I also need to darken the contouring on the cheeks and the jaw. I also think I should darken the outline of the lips too as it isn’t as visible as it should be. This makeup would be suitable for a small and medium sized stage and audience as it can be seen from far enough away. The colours could also work underneath certain stage lights as they wont be blended together. edit: 23/05/2021

Emaciation makeup evaluation

  For the emaciation makeup, I like how the makeup shows the cause of emaciations (for example: for the makeup shown in the image, I chose the cause to be an eating disorder, whereas if the cause was sickness, for example, the skin would have a greenish tone.). To improve, I should try out emaciation but make the cause different to be able to understand fully what the effect would be for different causes (such as emaciation as a result of malnourishment). Another way in which I could improve would be to make sure the shaded areas look 'evened out' and add a little bit more depth to the eyes. Considering this makeup was meant for screen, it would have needed to be a bit more subtle on the cheekbones, as the makeup appears to be too obvious. I would also have had to add some shading to the neck to show how other areas of the body are affected by this disorder. Edit: 23/05/2021

One colour challenge evaluation

  Instagram one colour challenge evaluation: What I like about this look is the way I have coloured the eyebrows. Before applying the blue colour itself, I used colour corrector and concealer to lighten the eyebrows so that the blue will show up better on the hairs. I also like the contour of this look as I think it has been blended out nicely. However, I don’t like the eyeshadow as although I tried to use three different colours of blues on the eyes, they all look like just one colour. Therefore, to improve this look, I would use lighter variants of blue to make sure they stand out better. This also wouldn't work on photograph as the difference in the colour variants aren't bold enough in real life to show up on camera unless the photographs were taken up close. Edit: 26/02/2021
