·         Red eye pencil

·         Glycerine

·         Powder

·         Eyeshadow palette

·         Powder puff

Method

1.       Cleanse, tone and moisturise the whole face to get off any old make-up.

2.       Mix together a light foundation and white foundation together and apply to the skin.  Blend in using a blending brush.  Making sure you blend the foundation down into the neck and onto the ears.

3.       Use the light brown and dark burgundy under the eyes with a flat brush and blend into the foundation using your clean finger.  Add a touch of blue to give a tired effect.

4.       Ask your model to look straight ahead, pull down their lower eyelid and apply red pencil along the waterline.

5.       Using a flat brush, apply some white eyeshadow on the eyelids.  Blend some yellow and brown in using the same brush.  This will give some depth to the eyes.

6.       With an angled brush, apply some tremble bronzer underneath the cheek bones.  This will give a sunken in and elderly look.

7.       Next, with a disposable wand use some grey from the supracolour palette and apply it through the eyebrows, making sure you do not apply too much product.

8.       Once you have applied all of the greasepaint products, use a powder puff to apply some translucent powder.

9.       Lastly, just before the you photograph your work, apply some glycerine for one tear running down the face.

Hair 

 

Equipment

• Wrap for model
• Hairbrush
• Section Clips
• Tail comb
• Backcombing brush
• Curling tongs
• Hair pins
• Geisha pins
• Grey hair spray

Method

1. Firstly put a wrap on your model and make sure he/she is comfortable

2. Next, using a hairbrush, brush all of the knots out starting from the ends of the hair

3. With the tail comb create a middle or side parting depending on your look and section off the hair in front of the ears.

4. Split the back section into 3 parts - 2 sides and 1 middle.  Start off with the middle section and use your tail comb to make clean sections ready to tong.  Make sure you over direct the tongs to give extra lift.  You also need to set your curls out in a brickwork pattern.  I also kept 2 extra side parts out to create the curls that hang down.

5. When tonging the hair - roll the hair around the barrel and roll the barrel towards your model.  Gently release the curl making sure you keep it in a barrel shape and pin it to the head.  Repeat this for the whole middle section

6. Next you need to tong both side sections.  You need to tong these sections in the direction you want them to go.  For example - for the left section, roll the hair around the tong towards the model.  Repeat this for both sections of the hair and secure with pins.

7. Now you need to start on the front section of your models head.  I chose to not do a parting as i find this more striking.  However, you still need to tong the hair in the direction you would like it to go and really emphasis the over directing.  You then need to let all of the curls cool.

8. Take out the back middle section and right side section of curls and brush them through.  Back comb slightly to prepare for padding.  Criss cross hair pins down the middle of the section.

9. Bring the hair back over itself and roll around your hand. Use a geisha pin to keep the hair in place.

10. Take the last back section (left) and brush out all the curls. Then add that section on top of the original roll and use one pin to hold it in place.

11. Now onto the top section. Take out all of the curls and brush through. I then added some large padding to create a more Victorian look and wrapped the hair around it.  I used different sized pins to secure this.  It took me a few times to get this the way I wanted.

12. Next, using the end of a comb, pull some strands out to make the hairstyle look old and slept on.

13. Lastly, use the grey hairspray to change the colour of the hair and finish the look.
