I began by setting out my hairdressing equipment, in order to complete my one length cut, at one station on the right hand side of the classroom and then I set out all my tools and equipment ready for the makeup application on a station on the left hand side of the classroom. I made sure my stations were set out neatly to ensure I had everything that I needed, it was all clean and sanitized, I had easy access to everything and to be time efficient. I then made sure all my bags, cases and kits were out of the way to meet the health and safety standards. I then equipped my model with PPE including a gown to prevent any hairs or makeup dropping down onto her clothes. Once I was happy with my set up and my client was comfortable I was happy to begin my Avant Garde hairstyle. In my opinion I feel that I successfully accomplished the preparation stage and exceeded all the health and safety standards.

To begin my Avant Garde hairstyle, I started by sectioning the hair from the tail of my model’s brows right back to her crown and created lots of little corn row braids in the front section. Just before each braid I sprayed the hair with heat protectant instead of water because I find it much easier to get the braids neat and tight, due to it having a sticky feel to it instead of it being slippery. I then secured each corn row with clear elastic bands so they were less noticeable. I was really happy with the braids as they were very tight, the partings were straight and I made sure there wasn’t any fly away hairs, as this would lose me marks. I then sprayed the back section of hair with heat protectant and chop stick curled it. When doing this I started from the bottom section and worked my way up to make sure every bit of hair was curled, they were all very small and tight and I had curled right to the ends of the hair. Once this stage was complete I brushed each curl out using a wide tooth comb and then backcombed it to create as much volume as possible. My next stage was to spray the hair with red hairspray and put some feathers in the front section to help hide the clear elastics securing the corn rows. The reason behind my Avant Garde hairstyle was Dr Frank N’ Furter and his jealous nature which makes him crazy, possessive and wild and this is how I wanted my hairstyle to be portrayed, crazy and wild. Overall I was happy with the hairstyle however next time I would add in additional hair pieces to make the back section even bigger.

Before I began the makeup application I quickly moisturised my model’s skin with a hydrating moisturiser as she had a couple of dry patches around her nose and I didn’t want this to affect the makeup application. After that I started to block out my models eyebrows, however the glue I used wasn’t very good because it was just peeling away when I put the powder on top and therefore I removed it straight away. To compromise I emphasised my models natural brows making them bigger and extending the tail of the brows out even further to elongate them. Next, I primed the eyelids with a full coverage concealer to block out any pigmentation or veins and to have a clean canvas to work on. I then started to blend a variety of warm toned eyeshadows through the crease and brought them really high up towards the brows so I could cut the crease much higher to give me more lid space to work on. I also dragged the eyeshadows out towards the tail of the brows to elongate the eyes. This would also make the eyes appear much bigger. Once I had cut the crease using concealer I applied a gold pigment to the lid and deepened the outer corner with a dark brown shadow to add depth. To complete the eyes I applied a thick black winged eyeliner, mascara and a pair of really dramatic, fluffy false eyelashes. Overall I was really happy with how the eyes turned out. The inspiration behind my eye look was drag. This was a huge aspect of the musical as in my opinion Dr Frank N’ Furter was insecure about his looks and therefore expressed himself through drag. This is my interpretation of the musical as when Dr Frank N’ Furter first enters and meets Janice and Brad he introduces himself as a ‘transvestite from Transylvania.’ He also never shows himself without wearing drag and makes Janice and Brad walk around in their underwear which makes me think that he is judging them and comparing himself and his body to theirs.

Next, I began with my base makeup and for this used a full coverage foundation and concealer which I lightly set with a pressed powder to make sure it all stayed in place. To contour the face I used a really cool toned contour to create the appearance of really prominent cheek bones. Once my base was complete and I was happy with it I took a black eyeshadow and began to heavily smoke out the lower lash line and bring it right down towards the top of my models cheekbones and across her nose. I then dripped black face paint from under her eyes. This section of the makeup was inspired by the first scene of the storm when Brad and Janice are walking up towards Dr Frank N’ Furter’s house. I believe that this is pathetic fallacy towards Dr Frank N’ Furter’s mood and personality being dark and depressing due to his insecurity and jealousy. To complete the overall makeup look I used a red lip liner to slightly over line my models lips to make them appear bigger then filled them in using a bright red lipstick. I then used red face paint and dripped it from the lips and made the edges of the lipstick a little bit messy. This was inspired with the introduction of the musical when the lips are talking and I also did this to tie in with my costume. Overall I was really happy with the makeup application however I was conscious of the time. Therefore, next time I would give myself more time for the makeup.

To complete my Avant Garde look, I dressed my model in a white t-shirt which had lips printed all over it, red fishnet stockings and a ‘skirt’ which I made from cardboard and a red table cloth and cut it into the shape of some lips. I also added a necklace which was a bar of soap in the shape of lips which I attached onto some red beads. My costume design was inspired by the introduction scene and it also symbolises love which is also an aspect within the musical. Overall, I am super satisfied with my whole look, as I have created an Avant Garde look inspired by ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’, met the brief and met all health and safety precautions.

 

After I had completed my Avant Garde look and had taken photos I disassembled my model’s hair and very carefully brushed it through using a wide tooth comb while she removed her makeup. I then took her to the hair salon and shampooed her hair twice using a shampoo for dry and damaged hair as my model’s hair was very damaged due to it being bleached. I then conditioned the ends of my model’s hair and thoroughly rinsed it through. After that, I took her back the makeup salon ready to start my one length cut. Once my model was comfortable in her seat and I had everything I needed I carefully began to comb her hair using a wide tooth comb instead of a brush as this is too much tension for wet hair. This part was actually very difficult due to my model’s hair being extremely damaged and the hair just kept getting tangled. Once I had combed it through and removed any knots, I then sectioned it into four even sections, a parting down the middle, then from ear to ear. Next, I took the bottom layer from both the back sections and cut my guideline. I then let down another layer from both bottom sections and cut it to the same length as my guideline, making sure it is always at a 0◦ angle. However, I found this very difficult as the hair just kept bouncing back due to how elastic-like the bleach had left my models hair, making it hard to create the one length cut. In the end a hairdressing tutor finished off my cut to ensure it was a neat as possible and she used a treatment whilst doing so to try and strengthen my model’s hair. Overall, I am extremely disappointed with how my cut went and next time I will perform it on a model with much stronger and healthier hair, and therefore it will be easier to create the one length cut.

To begin with, I set out all my equipment neatly to make sure I had everything that I needed, and it was all clean and sanitized. I had previously washed all my brushes using a specific brush cleanser to kill off any bacteria and to meet the hygiene standards. Then to follow health and safety precautions I tied my hair back, washed my hands, and removed any bags or cases from the floor to prevent myself or my model tripping over them. Next, I equipped my model with PPE including a gown covering her clothes to prevent any makeup or other products from getting onto them and a towel behind her head to rest on. I also made sure my model was comfortable in her seat and checked she had everything she needed. In my opinion I feel that I successfully accomplished the preparation stage, met all the health and safety precautions and was then happy to start with the application.

Firstly, I brushed my model’s hair back and took the bottom section of hair and began spray the hair black using a black hairspray, as her natural hair is blonde which didn’t fit my brief as Eddie’s hair is black. I worked from the bottom sections upwards and made sure it was all completely covered. Once it was all completely covered and I was happy with it I took a sectioning clip and just pinned my models fringe back and wiped away any hairspray which had got into her forehead ready for the makeup application. While I was spraying my model’s hair I turned on the fan and set it to minimum for air ventilation. Overall, I was very happy with the hair so far as it turned out just as I had planned, and it met my brief.

For the makeup stage, I started by blocking out my model’s eyebrows using glue and loose powder in preparation of postiche eyebrows. I then began to create Eddies forehead cut, for this I had previously made a prosthetic piece which I applied using a prosthetic adhesive. Once it was positioned and I was happy with it I started to build up layers of liquid latex around the perimeter to help blend the edges to make it look more realistic. If I was to do this next time I would make the edges of the prosthetic piece slightly thinner therefore making it easier to disguise. Once the latex was dry and I had applied enough layers I set it with powder and applied a light layer of foundation all over the face to help disguise the prosthetic even further. I then started to add colour and depth to the cut using the Ben Nye F/X wheel and a sponge and I stippled the colour on rather than using a brush to give a more realistic effect. Next, I lightly set these paints and the latex using a translucent loose powder, so it didn’t have any shine and it wouldn’t flash back on the pictures. To complete my forehead cut I mixed cotton wool and Ben Nye stage blood together to create a scab blood as I had to improvise as there wasn’t any available. However, this worked just as good and I was happy with the result.

Lastly, I dripped some stage blood from the prosthetic down the side of the eye. This was my first special effect as we had to use at least two to meet the brief. Overall, I was very happy with how the cut turned out as I think it looked realistic and it looked like Eddies.
For my second special effect I recreated Eddie’s busted lip, for this I built up multiple layers of liquid latex on and around the lip. I made sure each layer was dry before adding another to prevent the latex from lifting. Once I was happy with the layering, I carefully peeled up a tiny section of the latex and used scissors to make tiny hole, which I then filled with oil-based paints and stage blood. I also carefully stippled the oil-based paints (red, purple, blue and yellow) around the lip to give the illusion of bruising. Overall, I was happy with the busted lip and it was very easy to recreate.

Next, I used a black eyeshadow and very carefully brushed around the face using a big fluffy brush to make the skin look slightly dirty as this is what Eddies looked like in the musical. I made sure I
used a very light hand when doing this as I didn’t want to apply too much and to make it look unrealistic.

For the last special effect, I recreated Eddie’s black eye and to do this I used the Ben Nye S/F wheel again and built up darkness around the right eye mainly focusing the deeper shades in the inner corner. I added yellow around the edges to help blend out the other shades and to help it look more realistic. Once I was happy with it I added black kohl pencil on the upper and lower lash line, in the tight line and the waterline in both eyes as this is what eddies looked to be wearing as his eyes looked very dark and heavy. To complete the black eye, I set the paints using a translucent powder, again to make sure they didn’t flash back on the pictures. Overall, I was happy with how the black eye turned out.

To complete the makeup look I applied some postiche eyebrows and side burns, which I had previously made, using a prosthetic adhesive to make my model look more masculine as my model was a female. I very carefully positioned the postiche eyebrows to help disguise the bottom edge of the prosthetic. The postiche really pulled my look together and I was super happy with how they looked! Overall, I was pleased with how my makeup and special effects turned out, but next time I would do the certain steps differently to achieve a better outcome.
Once I had finished the makeup I removed the sectioning clip and styled the hair using hairspray and again used my models fringe to help disguise the top edge of the prosthetic.

To complete my entire look, I dressed my model in a plain black t-shirt, blue denim jeans, a black leather jacket, with badges around the collar, and black leather boots. I added accessories such as a leopard print scarf which I pinned to the rim of the jacket, added a white scarf around the neck and I made a ‘catapult’ necklace, which Eddie wore in the musical, using a potato peeler (I removed the blade for safety reasons) and attached it onto a piece of black string and put it around my models neck. I also wrote the words ‘LOVE’ and ‘HATE’ across my models knuckles to look like Eddie’s tattoo and put some bling rings on her fingers which I made look less shiny using black face paint. And the final step was to add in a blow-up saxophone which I bought from a fancy-dress shop because when Eddie enters on his motorbike he is carrying a saxophone, and this really pulled the entire look together.

In conclusion I am highly satisfied with my work, as I believe I met my brief, followed all the health and safety precautions, and recreated the character ‘Eddie’ from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Following on from my previous blog post:

Once you have made and completed your prosthetic pieces they are super easy and simple to apply.

First you have to start with a smooth base. (This means making sure there is no hair as the prosthetic adhesive will pull on them!) Then once your base is smooth all you have to do is apply a prosthetic adhesive (Ben Nye is a really good one!) onto your prosthetic piece and onto the skin/bald cap where you want it to sit. Make sure you wait for it to start going clear and this is when you know it is ready to stick. (Kinda like eyelash glue!) Then after it’s been placed and your happy with it, hold it in place for approximately 1 minute to ensure it is completely set and it won’t come apart. Then there you have it, your prosthetic piece should be securely stuck down!

To make a prosthetic piece is super simple! You have to start by moulding the shape you want out of clay. (So for example an animal nose.) This is like a template and is the most important part, so taking your time is key! Also using tools and a tiny bit of moisturiser on your hands to soften the edges down really helps.

You have to make sure the edges of the clay are as smooth and as thin as possible to ensure it looks ‘realistic’ when you apply it.

Next, you have to layer liquid latex on top of the clay and wait for each layer to dry before adding another, if not the latex will lift and create lumps. After about 15-20 layers of latex and everything is dry you can heavily powder it and carefully remove it from the clay and your prosthetic piece is complete!

Firstly, I hung up all my sheets to create curtains for my model to stand behind in order for him to feel more comfortable. I then set out my equipment to ensure I had everything I needed and that I wouldn’t run out of anything. I then turned on the lights around my station to ensure that I had good lighting and therefore I could check my application of the face paint wasn’t streaky. When I was set up and my model had everything he needed I was happy to start.
I began with applying the bald cap and to do this I started by gelling my model’s hair slick back. I then placed the bald cap on my model’s head and carefully applied a prosthetic adhesive around my model’s forehead and step by step secured it down. I found this quite difficult to make it all smooth around the back of the head and to stop it all from wrinkling up. Once the bald cap was applied I then added the prosthetic ears I had made, again using the same adhesive. These seemed a really good size when I was making on the face cast however once I had applied them to my 5’9 model they looked a little too small, so next time I would make them bigger. While these were drying I started on my body paint. I started by painting my models stomach white then blended it into yellow around his sides and then into orange around his back as I was using reference pictures of a tiger of google to try and replicate. My first body art technique was stippling the paint on. This gave me the most coverage and I used a very dense foundation brush to do this. I then worked my way onto his arms and used a white face paint on the inner portion and again blended it into orange around the backs of his arms and I did exactly the same on his legs. The blending wasn’t the easiest, so I just had to keep going in with each colour to try and get a seamless blend. This was my second body art technique, I used a dry beauty bender to try and buff the colours together, but I waited for them to dry slightly to prevent the colour from transferring. My model’s legs were very hairy so this is one thing I would definitely change next time as the paint didn’t go on as smooth on the legs as it did for the rest of the body. My model also didn’t feel comfortable taking his socks off so I had to improvise and try and make it look as though the paws were black and the stripes stemmed up from there. Once I had added black stripes all over my model’s body I then went in and added white in areas to make it look like fur and to help it look more realistic. To do this I used a fan brush to create the hair like strokes and this was my third body art technique. I then painted the front of my model’s neck and chin white to try and make the face look similar to the pictures I was looking at. Next, I applied my prosthetic nose which was the most difficult thing as I feel as though I had filled it too much and the shaping was slightly off as it was based off a face cast with a smaller nose than what my model had. Once I had completed the painting of the face I added a little pink nose and went around my model’s eyes with black eyeliner. Overall, I was happy with the look I had created as you could tell it was a tiger, I had met the brief and followed all health and safety precautions. However next time I would change certain steps and add some whiskers made from wire and some claws moulded out of polymorph. I would also ask my model to wear white boxers in order for me to be able to paint over the top of them as this was also an issue we came across today.

I began by setting out my hairdressing equipment in order to complete my one length cut. I made sure it was set out neatly to enable easy access to everything and to be time efficient. I then made sure all my bags, cases and kits were out of the way to meet the health and safety standards. I then equipped my model with PPE including a gown to prevent any hair dropping down onto her clothes, a cutting collar to ensure the back which I will be resting on is level to help me create an even cut, and a towel placed over the back of the chair to prevent her back from getting wet when she leans back. When my model was comfortable in her seat and had everything she needed I was happy to start my one length cut.
To start with I wet my model’s hair and then sectioned it into four even sections, a parting down the middle, then from ear to ear. I then took the bottom layer from both back sections and cut my guideline. I then let down another layer from both bottom sections and cut it to the same length as my guideline, making sure it is at a 0◦ angle at all times. I repeated this step until all of the hair in the bottom sections were cut to the same length and I was happy with it. I then started with the two front sections, doing the exact same thing, however you must make sure the side pieces of hair are pulled towards the back because if not you will have a graduate which isn’t wanted when completing a one length cut. I was very happy with my cut and feel I have mastered the one length. I then blow dried my model’s hair, keeping the middle parting straight as I used this when creating my Avant Garde hairstyle.
To begin my Avant Garde hairstyle, I started by sectioning the hair from ear to ear again and created two dutch braids in the front two sections. I secured these with a small hair elastic and pulled the braids loose to make them look a little bigger. Next, sprayed the hair with heat protectant then crimped the remaining hair and back combed it all, to get as much height and volume as possible. This was to resemble the lion’s main, and the braids were associated with Dorothy’s hair which is where I got my inspiration from. Overall, I was really happy with the Avant Garde hair I had created, however next time I am going to create more extravagant ideas, to make it look more ‘Avant Garde’ inspired.
Before I began the makeup application I quickly cleansed my model’s skin with some rebalancing skin care as I figured out my client had combination skin, due to her having an oily T-zone but the rest of her face was quite dry. She also had a few acne scars around her chin area, along with open pores around her nose. This was a huge indication to my client having combination skin. After that, I started out with the makeup application, and began to lightly fill in my model’s eyebrows with a dark brown eye pomade towards the tail of the brows as my model’s brows were already quite full. I then primed the eyelids with a full coverage concealer to block out any pigmentation or veins and to have a clean canvas to work on. I first started to blend a pale green eyeshadow through the crease and slowly began to deepen it up with darker green shadows. I then took some of the same concealer and cut out the middle of the lid to begin my spot light eye. I used a shimmery green pigment on the lid and deepened up the inner and outer corners with a black shadow to add some depth into the look. I then moved onto the base and used a full coverage foundation and concealer which I lightly set with a pressed powder to make sure it all stayed in place. To contour the face, I look a mixture of green eyeshadows to tie in with the eye look, then highlighted with a silvery toned highlighter. To complete the eyes, I smoked out the lower lash line using the same green shadows then added mascara and big fluffy lashes. To complete the overall makeup look I used a red lip liner to slightly over line my models lips to make them appear bigger then filled them in using a bright red lipstick and topped it off with red glitter to represent the glitter of the red slippers. The green inspired makeup look resembles the ‘Wicked Witch of the West’ and the envy she felt towards the good witch ‘Glinda’. Overall, I am so happy with the Avant Garde makeup I created, and I wouldn’t change anything if I was to do it again.
To complete my Wizard of Oz inspired look, I dressed my model in a yellow polo shirt which I had bought and drawn some bricks on, to resemble the yellow brick road. Overall, I am super satisfied with my whole look, as I have created an Avant Garde look inspired by the Wizard of Oz, met the brief and met all health and safety precautions.

To begin with, I set out all my equipment neatly to ensure I had everything that I needed and it was all clean and sanitized. I had previously washed all my brushes and sponges using a specific brush cleanser to kill off any bacteria and to meet the hygiene standards. Then to follow health and safety precautions I tied my hair back, washed my hands, and removed any bags or cases from the floor to prevent myself or my client tripping over them. Next, I equipped my client with PPE including a gown covering her clothes to prevent any makeup or other products from getting onto them and a towel behind her head to rest on. I also made sure my model was comfortable in her seat and checked she had everything she needed. In my opinion I feel that I successfully accomplished the preparation stage, met all the health and safety precautions and was then happy to start with the application.
Firstly, I brushed my model’s hair back and took the bottom section of hair and began to apply wet look hair gel, all the way from root to tip. I worked from the bottom sections upwards and made sure it was all coated in the gel. Once it was all completely covered I took a wide tooth comb and combed it all slick back then hair sprayed it all in place to ensure the positioning of the hair stayed the same throughout the process. I then took a black ‘Snazaroo’ face paint (water activated) and began to colour my model’s hair, as her natural hair is blonde which didn’t fit my brief as Phantom’s hair is black. Once I was happy with the pigmentation of the hair, I sprayed it with hairspray again, then started to create a receding hairline using the same face paint. Overall, I was very happy with the hair as it turned out just as I had planned, and it met my brief.
For the makeup stage, I started out by creating Phantom’s scar separating both sides of his face. To do this I used Ben Nye scar wax and created a long sausage piece which I placed down the centre of my model’s face and used a metal spatula to blend out the edges to make it look more realistic. Due to the warmth of the room the wax was very soft, and I didn’t want to risk it peeling away from the skin, so I carefully stippled a thin layer of liquid latex over the top to keep it all in place. Once the latex had dried I created a small ridge running down the centre of the scar, using the metal spatula, and filled it in using a dark purple oil-based face paint to add depth. This was my first Special effect as we had to use a minimum of three to meet the brief. Next, I blocked out the right brow using glue and loose powder, as Phantom’s right brow had totally burnt off, so I wanted to create the same illusion. Then to create the severe burns on the right-hand side of the face, I built up about four layers of latex, making sure each layer was completely dry before adding another, therefore the latex didn’t lift. Once I was happy with the layering, I carefully peeled up small sections of the latex and used scissors to make tiny holes, which I then filled with oil-based paints and ‘Ben Nye scab blood’. This added depth and definition. To add redness and pigmentation to the burns I stippled on a mixture of oil-based paints (red, purple, blue and yellow) using a sponge, rather than using a brush which wouldn’t look as realistic. I ended up playing around with the colours to ensure it looked as soft and as blended as it possibly could. This was the second Special effect and was personally my favourite. For the last special effect, I tried to create a deformed ear. To do this I used scar wax and built it up underneath the ear lobed and tried to create the appearance that it was missing. However, this is the part which I really struggled with due to the warm room temperature and the wax being too soft to work with, it just wouldn’t stay fixed, and this is one thing I would do differently next time. I would ensure the room was at a lower temperature, therefore the products work better.
For the left hand side of the face, I used ‘Ben Nye Wrinkle Stipple’ to give the appearance of older looking skin, however when I applied my foundation over the top, you could see where I had applied the wrinkle stipple and therefore I wouldn’t use it again next time, instead I would just emphasise my model’s natural wrinkles. For the base I applied pale foundation as Phantom has a pale complexion with very cool toned contour, so this is exactly what I did. Lastly for the makeup I was going to postiche a grey, fluffy eyebrow to make the face look more mascular, however I didn’t have enough time to create one, so instead I improvised and used a dark brow pomade and an angled brush and created hair like strokes to give the illusion of a big, fluffy brow. Overall, I was happy with how my makeup and the special effects turned out, but next time I would do the certain steps differently to achieve a better outcome.
To complete my look, I dressed my model in a black tuxedo, as this is what phantom is known for wearing throughout the musical and I really think this pulled the whole look together. In conclusion I am highly satisfied with my work, as I believe I met my brief, followed all the health and safety precautions, and recreated the character ‘Phantom’.

I really struggled to come up with an Avant garde hairstyle inspired by Alice in Wonderland. I first wanted to try and recreate something inspired by the scenery and to use chair chalks to add colour and brightness into my look. However this was really difficult and I decided to change my look and recreate a hat using the hair!

First I started out by heavily backcombing all of the hair around the crown of the head, leaving the perimeter out so it would be easier to smooth down. I then used a large hair donut and hair grips and created a big messy looking bun. Next I took some of the hair I’d previously left out and smoothed the bun down and created a cylinder shape rather than a circular shape! Lastly for the rim of the hat I twisted the rest of the hair and pinned it all tightly with hair grips and hairspray to ensure everything stayed in place. However next time I recreate this look I will leave more hair out and use straighteners to flatten it all down making it look more crisp and more like the rim of a top hat!

Overall this hairstyle was really simple and looked like it took more time and effort than it actually did!

Following on from my previous blog post (the Tim Burton mock exam) I have decided to one side of the body art with bright colours and I have taken inspiration from the scenery in Alice in wonderland, so such as the long grass, rainbows and the giant, bright red toadstools! Whereas on the other side I have decided to go for a more dark and mysterious look by creating the illusion of a dark forest. These will again reflect on the happy times and the sad times within the film!

Again this is my first attempt at the body art side, however I realised I had definitely done it too small and when I do it again I will for sure make it more big and bold as from far away you can’t really tell what it is! (Ops!!) I am also going to change how I set out the darker side, instead of having lots of small trees I am going to have one large tree with branches stretched along the arm which will be the main focus for that side of the body art, the hate lots of other smaller trees in the background to make it look more like a forest!

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.
