Steps: Makeup:

2) With a small angled brush, apply the liner along the lash line and make it winged.
3) Using the mascara wands, apply mascara to top and bottom lashes.
4) Powder/conceal over the bruises so they almost cover, but so you can slightly see them.
5) Using the foundation (FS38 & Alabaster) and skin base white, conceal over the scars and scabs to almost cover.

Steps: Hair:
1) Section hair to make it easier to curl.
2) Using the straighteners, curl the hair to give a wavy effect.
3) Once curled, pin back fringe to the sides, underneath the remaining hair so that the pins are covered.

Evaluation

Again, I am happy with how this photo has turned out. It made it so much easier for me to create Quentin first as the bruises and cuts from the stitches were already exactly in place so it meant I could cover over them perfectly, just like Claudia would have done herself. I feel like I have portrayed my idea across well and adding accessories into it such as a bike helmet to create her pregnancy bump has added to the character herself and showing my storyline throughout the images I have produced. Again, what challenged me the most was trying to make her look like a psycho, I needed to think of ways that would make her eyes look evil, so I created browns and reds underneath the eye to make them look sore and scary. I have covered up the bruises and scars but so you can still see them (which I learned when creating my Estella design). I think my model did a good job of transforming from a boy to a girl and the creepy smile she does still scares me. I am really pleased with the outcome and how everything has turned out. I thought it was a bit of a risk to choose a different series, rather than the typical vampires and werewolves because this series doesn't really involve any special fx. It was hard to portray a mental illness through makeup, but I am glad I chose this series as it makes my work and storyline different from others as I have taken an alternative route. I have loved creating both of these characters and it has been great fun creating my own take on season 3's last episode "Psycho".
