Miss Havisham Continuity Assessment - Part 2

For the second part of my continuity assessment, I had to recreate my first Miss Havisham hair and make-up design, which I created a week ago ,however the key element was to make sure that the hair and make-up was exactly the same as the first part of my continuity assessment, which can be quite difficult. Continuity is an important aspect when working in TV and film, due to filming a scene takes a lot of time sometimes even a couple of weeks therefore the make-up and hair must be exactly the same otherwise the audience will identify noticeable changes.
Before recreating my Miss Havisham, I made sure I had printed off the photographs from my first assessment to enable me to get as close to the look as possible.
When recreating again I decided to start off with the hair as I felt the hair was much more simpler and quicker to create. Firstly I sectioned the hair at the front into two parts, I then back-combed both sides and with my fingers gently rolled each section up and then secured them in place with pins. Next I back-combed the rest of the hair giving it that messy look as if it hasn't been brushed in a very long time. I then sprayed dry shampoo all over the hair to show that the hair is losing its colour and going grey. To finalise the hair style I then placed the Veil onto the head pinning it in place just behind the two front curls.
To recreate my Miss Havisham make-up design I started off by applying a slightly lighter foundation than my model would usually use to her face neck and ears using my foundation brush and with the blending brush I made sure it was all completely blended. I then applied Illamasqua translucent powder to set the foundation in place. Next I contoured the convex areas of the face using a black eye-shadow from my Kryolan eye-shadow pallet. Next I used pinks, purples, and black eye-shadow underneath the eyes to create a tired look, I blended all the colours together which gave it an effective look. I then got my client to raise her eyebrows, frown and smile in order for me to see all the natural lines on her face. This way I was able to go over them with a sharp brown eye pencil to create the ageing look and I used my blending brush after to make sure it was blended in properly so the lines looked more natural. Next I highlighted underneath each line I created on the face using the colour white from my eye-shadow pallet so the wrinkles stand out more. Finally I created the cut on the left side of my models face and to do this I applied a small amount of latex onto the area and waited it to dry. Once it dried I created a fine line with a fine make-up brush and a light red from my supracolour pallet. Next I used my blending brush to blend the line out into the skin. Then I applied a darker layer of red over top of the faded line and blended the line out with the blending brush. Finally  I started to create broken lines with my fine line brush and dark red mixed with a small amount of black. In order to make the scratch appear more realistic I had to really blend the product into the skin and keep layering up the supracolour.
