Characterisation of Sally

I wanted to explore more how i can turn my ideas into a characterisation of sally, i want to look at the portrayal of distress, hunger, sadness within hair and makeup and how i can develop this to fit my interpretation of Sally.

I have created this mood board looking into different ways i can create the distressed look though the make up i further took into consideration form the feedback on my presentation that shimmer was more a popularity in the 20's 30's than glitter. I eye in the middle of the board i feel portrays that distressed look while still having the beauty element within it with the shimmer and high gloss this could be an element to look at through my designs. I collected further images of tiered eyes and gaunt faces both using makeup and naturally as this is something i would like to incorporate into my designs.

I feel that creating that contrast with reality and glamour is a lot easier within the makeup designs as i create that distressed look then over exaggerate the makeup to balance out that idea that Sally dose not want to face the reality of life. When exploring this through the hair i feel i am finding it harder as i don't want the hair style to be messy or unkept i want her hair to look very sleek and polished as though she has spent a lot of time on it before her return performance.
