Estella in Contrast

Creating Estella in contrast has helped me understand all different ways I can portray her. I can either do her younger or older, beaten up or normal. It has given me a feel of how the makeup would look and what works best. 

Young Estella vs Old Estella

Young Estella would have no makeup on, rosy cheeks and overall a natural look to her. However when she is older, she would probably wear a bit more makeup, her eyelashes would be darker, her eyebrows shaped, her skin fresh and her lips rouged. 

Before and After being beaten up 

Here I have created Estella before she was married and beaten up by Drummle. She would look exactly the same as Older Estella above. When she is beaten she would be marked and bruised and look broken. Because I like these two face charts I have come up with the idea to almost merge the two together. She is hiding the fact she is in an abusive relationship by hiding and covering the marks on her face and body. I think this is a different approach because it tells a story behind the makeup, it shows how she must be feeling and what she is going through, and what many others today go through.
