Trials

I felt that i wanted to develop on my original face chart as i discovered during my research glitter wasn't a popular product in the 20's and 30's i wanted to experiment using the idea of portraying digress and sadness within the makeup look but covering this with makeup using the shimmery eye to portray the cabaret world.

I felt that this face chart didn't work as i had imagine it to look i feel this was due to the products i used as these eye shadows didn't have the high shine aspect i would have expected from my design. I felt that the eye shadow shape could be more reminiscent of the defined creese and liner from the 20's and 30's rather than a block colour. I do like the under the eye smudging combined with the tiered eye look i feel this works well in portraying my idea of Sally being distresses but using the shiny bright lights of the performance world and cabaret to cover this up. I further feel the Lip colour works with the green shade of the eyes contrasting and balancing out the composition within the face i also like the darker fading out to the middle to create this pinched in effect. Lastly i would like to create the idea and work with it shown in this face chart of layered and layered mascara large eyes were popular within the 20's and 30's and within many of the descriptions of sally within the book and play its commented on about her very large eyes. 

I wanted to test my design  on myself as i felt that maybe the colours weren't working on the paper but may on my face i felt that it wasn't how i imagined the look to be because of the colours and texture of the shadows i was using. I further need to explore how to block out the eye brows as this is an important element for the overall look. I feel that the darker skin tone wouldn't further be correct for the characterisation of Sally i feel that as an English Rose her skin tone would be pale and a lot lighter than my own. 

I have collected further images that i will use to aid my next face chart in relation to what i need to change from this trial. I feel using these images and my knowledge from previous research i will be able to construct and precise and historically correct face chart.
