Looking at the research I have done and how those characters are represented through make-up and hair I have created a written draft of the final designs:
Quinty Character #1 (good character) Light pastel colors Lips=peachy color cheeks=rosy color foundation=thick natural skin color layer Eyelids=light brown eyeliner=minimal brown color mascara=thin black hair=front parts are pinned up with bobby pins or hair clips, the hair is wavy and volumnous but out of the face Character #2 (corrupt character) Dark colors Lips=Dark red Eyelids=dark purple (plum) color Eyeliner=dark thick black mascara=thick black lashes Hair= loose, volumnous wavy/curly hair that complements the make-up and all together makes the character look corrupt. | Sarah Character #1 (corrupt character) Dark colors Lips=dark plum Eyelids=dark purple Eyeliner=dark thick black Mascara=thick black lashes Hair=loose straight hair Character #2 (good character) Neutral colors Lips=pastel pink Foundation=thick skin color layer of foundation eyelids=light brown eyeliner=minimal light brown mascara=light thin black hair=front piece pinned up (like a pouf but the hair is flat on the head) |
Robin Character #1 (as the brother) foundation=full face foundation (skin color) sideburns= thick black Hair=a lot of gel, slick the sides back, front part should lift off of head a bit, should clearly be able to see the gel Character #2 (whitness) foundation=full face foundation (skin color) sideburns=thick black hair=all slicked back with gel (all flat against head) | Saif character #1 (corrupt policeman) foundation=full face foundation (skin color) sideburns=medium thick black sideburns hair=side part kind of wavy with gel Character #2 (Judge) foundation=full face foundation (skin color) sideburns=medium thick black sideburns hair=fully slicked back against head with gel |
This is the draft of the final make-up designs (written). I have made these decisions based on what the characters of the play are like, and on what many people from the 1950's looked like depending on their character. There are a few problems with these designs but those will be dealt with as I continue in my process of designing.
