Dotty is ever present during our photoshoots!
Style of the Look
A
playful, youthful look inspired by Brigitte Bardot with a splash of Anime
characters. A sweet, innocent look but at the same time very fearless. Featuring
a heavy 60's eyeliner, long full lashes, nude lips.
Strobe
cream is used after priming to provide the wonderful illumination, with a mac
cream blush in red applied and powdered on the apples of the cheeks –beneath
the foundation to give a rosy cheek, with a final red cheek being applied over
the foundation with a fluffy brush. A heavy coverage light coloured foundation
and concealer is to be used to provide the extreme pigmentation suitable for
photographic work & to provide the full,flawless coverage that compliments
the later elements of this look. Shimmer is applied on the high points, and
contouring beneath the cheekbones.
Eyeshadows
used will be a bone shadow as a base, a taupe shade in the inner corner, along
with added contouring in the socket of the eye from the inner
to the outer corner with a dark brown. Mac frostbite for the lightest shade on
the browbone, a little in the lower inside corner and spread out under the lower
lashline with a winged black liner and heavy lashes on the upper lids. The
lashes extend subtly beyond the lashes, following the winged liner, giving a
doe-eyed appearance.
Lips
(with mac’s strobe applied to the cupids bow during the prep & prime) are
filled in with a nude pencil then a nude lipstick, with some gloss.
Inspiration
for the Look
An interpretation of the make up that the
Make up Artist Rosalina Da Silva used on the character “Babydoll” in the film Suckerpunch, using the
beautiful Emily Browning as her model. I must admit it was the flawless make-up
that held me transfixed during that film and I missed quite a bit of the
plotline in awe of the makeup and mentally recreating them with products that I
own.
The
film is set in the 60's and the make-up design does a great job of reflecting
that. The focus is on Baby Doll's big luscious eyes, keeping to a neutral
palette, with strong 60's eyeliner and floaty eyelashes. The makeup artist used
several pairs of eyelashes on set to get that wide-eyed look.
