COSTUME AND MAKEUP - EVALUATION

Make-up

Make-up and costume is something that was very important in our movie and essential that we got right. I was in charge of make up and costume and wanted to create the appearance of bruising, dirt and very gaunt features.

I used browns, purples, blues, greys and blacks to create meabhs  makeup. I focused the dark blacks in the contours of meabhs face, the purples, blues and greys around her eyes and the greys, blacks and browns round the perimeter of her face and roughly all over to create a more dirty complexion. 

Dark contours to create shadows for the appearance of sunken  features. 

Me doing Meabh's makeup.

Created bruising on meabhs hands and wrists using purple and black shadows.

COSTUME

I began with an old white dress that Anna had lying around the house. I began by  ripping the neckline and sleeves, to give a more rugged and worn look. I also added ladders in some places and frayed the hems. I then took the dress outside and covered it in mud by dropping it into a muddy puddle and stamping on it with muddy shoes where i wanted the mud to be more intense. I was constantly changing the position of the dress in the puddle to create a more uneven effect as this would make it look a lot more realistic.
