For our mock exam we have been set to come up with a makeup, hair and body art look inspired from a Tim Burton film. The film I’ve chosen to do is Alice in Wonderland/Alice through the looking glass, and the character which I’ve taken inspiration from is the Mad Hatter!
For the makeup look I have decided to split the face directly down the middle to represent both sides to the Mad Hatter. So for example one side is going to be all bright and colourful to represent his cheerful and uplifting personality, whereas the other side is going to reflect on his lonely and isolated period of time in Alice through the looking glass when he begins to loose hope in finding his parents! I chose to reflect both sides of the Mad Hatter to add a deeper meaning into my piece and to show how not everyone is happy all of the time, and that everyone has their down days.
This is just my first attempt of recreating the look I had in mind and overall I was pretty happy with the final makeup look. However in my next attempt I am going to make the mouth on the right hand side (isolated side) slightly bigger and exaggerate the swirl more to make it stand out.
