Masquerade Themed Final year assessment


Masquerade Themed Make-Up and Inspiration


Lady GaGa’s MTV 2009 awards look below was what inspired me to use the colour theme of black and gold. She used it so that her mask is gold and eyes and attire black, which gave me the inspiration to use these colours and with those two colours use make up to paint the skin black and certain areas gold to create an effective look which combined with the mask which was gold and the gold pattern on the black hair.

Following my initial trial run in class I used gems to create a shape, which I wanted to stick on to my model’s face around the eyebrow to create a dramatic effect.
Below is a picture of what look inspired me.


Here the artist has used silver gems along the eyebrows, with black eye shadow and black lips. However as I had already come up with my colour scheme it inspired me to use the gold on the eyelids and lips as the rest of the model would be painted black.

For my masquerade practical assessment I started off with putting my models hair in a high pony tail and moulded it as a flat bun using hair bands and bobby pins to be able to secure the hair piece on top.



Blocking out the EB I used very little spirit gum to block out the end of the eyebrows only, once that was dried,
I then started painting the hairline and hair first with the Mac Pro black body face paint then working my way down to beneath the breasts including the hands leaving only the lips bare. 



Taking the variety of different sized gems I had, I used some more spirit gum to stick them on to the models eyebrow and with the rest of the gems I stuck two big ones; one on the models cupid bow’s dimple and one on the chin for more effect. Mixing the Mehron metallic powder with the Mehron mixing liquid I painted the models eyelids gold.







I went back to the models hair and using more bobby pins I then secured my premade hair piece on the models bun which I had done in my first steps. I then started positioning the artificial pearl beaded branches into the hair piece and securing it in place with some more bobby pins

Once the hair was secure I then got the pre-made golden cups for the breasts which I had made at home and used latex to stick them on the models breasts.

For the final touches I had butterfly accessories for the body, which were originally, silver when I purchased them but I used gold dust at home to give it the gold look for my theme. 

Once again using spirit gum I stuck some to the models finger and chest with some beads alongside. I also stuck a few of the butterflies on the hairpiece as well to go with the pearl beaded branches. To complete the whole look I waited until right at the end to use the metallic gold 


I was very happy with my final outcome. Everything went the way I wanted and on time. My only concern was that my model was comfortable as the headdress was a bit heavy.
