The photos were shot in black and white as well as color images for our reference.
I really should have made certain parts on my make-up heavier in order to show up in black and white, though i wanted a traditional Victorian look i would have liked the blush to be more obvious on the cheeks.
Becky has a natural contour to her cheeks and lovely long, curly lashes which definitely helped me out. I had been debating weather or not to use a light layer of mascara to make the lashes more defined but decided against it as i thought it might look too theatrical though i now wish i had as it looks a bit unfinished!
I also blended a small amount of brown eyeshadow into the crease to add some natural definition to the eye.
Now for the hair, i love the profile but from the front it's absolutely awful! I can only blame myself for not practising beforehand, she has extremely thin hair and i thought i could get the shape i wanted without any padding, how wrong was i!
I also had a nightmare with the front, i wanted to create the soft finger waves that i wrote about in my previous post and even though i was aware Becky had a fringe i didn't think about how her thin hair would affect the style.
After drying it i found there just wasn't enough thickness to create the texture i wanted so i brushed it out and curled the end pieces to tie in with the soft curls at the back.
I am chuffed with how the back looks, if i could just submit this to be marked i would! The only thing i would change is the placement of the clips under the pin curls.
I like the softness of the curls and how the top section of the hair flows nicely into the curls at the ends.
A few small adjustments would have make my overall look much better but it's taught me a lot about planning and practicing designs, particularly with black and white photography!
