Initial Planning - Makeup

Our opening will include happy flashbacks and sadder, more intense flashbacks. To express the difference in the main characters mental state in different memories, we will use two different makeups looks to reflect her feelings.

Character One during happy flashbacks and character Two's makeup throughout the opening:

For the happy flashbacks we will use simplistic makeup to make them look young and fresh faced. We want them to look innocent therefore we will use products with a light coverage such as BB in instead of foundation as heavy makeup won't be necessary. I will use products such as mascara, blush, eyeliner and natural eyeshadow to enhance their natural features. This will make them look healthy and happy. I will also use highlighter on them both as it will create a dewey and luminous fresh look. This look will contrast to the bleak, demented look character one will have during the darker flashbacks.

Character One during darker flashbacks:

For the darker flashbacks the character will be very vacant and tired. Therefore I will use red and purple toned eyeshadow under the eye to create bags, implying a lack of sleep. We won't be using makeup products such as bronzer, highlighter or blush as these will add colour to the face. I want to create a very bleak pale complexion therefore these products won't be helpful. I will add grey toned contour to the hollows of her cheeks as this will create the illusion that she hasn't eaten regularly. This will show the audience that the character hasn't been looking after herself due to the emotional trauma she has been through.
