Make up influences - Miss havisham

Although I looked at inspiration for my Miss Havisham design, I came up with my own ideas influenced by images and films I had seen.

This is Helena Bonham Carter from the British film adaption of Great Expectations.  I took the elements of her pale skin and grey dusty hair for my designs.  She also has greyed eyebrows which I incorporated into my design.


I also took some inspiration from my own eyes.  I have bad bags under mine and constantly look tired, so I added a touch of red into my face plan to give the effect of lots of crying and rubbing of the eyes.


This is Gillian Anderson as Miss Havisham from the BBC production of Great Expectations.  I took the elements of her pale skin and gauntness for my design.  With all of the descriptions listed above I came up with my final face plan.
