Make Up Ideas

In our film trailer, we are having a detective who is struggling to work out what happened from the case that he was assigned to solve, because of this he has developed a alcohol problem and has become very tired and stressed, this resulting in him looking very worn out.

To achieve the look that we require for our actor, we will be using dark make up around the eyes and underneath, with a hint of purple in the corner and under to show the bags under his eyes, which has resulted in the lack of sleep and stress, we will blend this in with a thin make up brush so it doesn't look as if we have put make up on. We will also "colour in" the actors wrinkles/ lines on his face to make them more exaggerated, as many people get wrinkles from the lack of sleep and stress.
As our actor has a pale complexion we are going to use a foundation that is lighter than his skin or a concealer on our actor to make him look very pale and worn out.

For the girls make up, we will be using two very different styles as we are having a personality change for the girl. The first style is sweet, natural and girly and the second style is Gothic/grunge. To portray this using make up we will use natural looking make up, with light pinks and rose colours to show her soft feminine side for the first style, to thick black eye liner and smoky eye make up for the second.

To achieve these looks I needed to research into the different styles, so that I could get an idea of what the make up would look like and how I would do it. below I have added a mood board that I created:
