Claudia: Hair Designs

For my first idea for Claudia's hair was to have it wavy, as I wanted to my Claudia to look innocent but have a little sex appeal about her too, so I wanted her hair to be wavy and quite big. To do this I will use a large curling tong to create these curls.

Another look that I had for Claudia was to keep her hair straight, as my model has long thick hair, I was just going to use hair straighteners, but I am going to wash my model's hair before I start doing the look, and I will blow dry it straight first to see how that comes out. However I think I will go with this hair design because I think this will suit Claudia's and the makeup look I want to do.

Method:

Step 1: I started with cleansing the face as this will get rid of any other left over make up, after I have finished cleansing the face I will then us toner which will help remove any trapped oil and dirt in the pores and then finally moisturise as this will help any dry areas on the skin as well as help to make a clean base when applying the foundation.

Step 2: For the foundation I used a colour that matched my models skin which was L'Oreal True Match Foundation in the colour R2:C2 Rose Vanilla. Which I applied to the t-zone then blended outwards, adding any more product if needed.

Step 3:  I then went over the top of the foundation with a lighter foundation which I used as a highlighter and placed in the usually places of highlighting such as: Down the centre of the nose, above the cheekbones, under the eyes, cupids bow and a small amount on the chin, which was blended out with a blending brush. I then went over the top of the highlighter that was placed down the centre of the nose, above the cheekbones and the cupids bow with a Revlon's Photoready Illuminator in colour 200 Pink Light.

Step 3: As well as adding highlighter to the face, I add contouring of which I used Kryolan's Bronzing palette in shades Bronzing sun and agais to line out shade the areas which are: under the cheekbones, temples, edges of the nose and the jaw line. I then went over the places that I just contoured with a dark colour and smaller brush to add a bit of definition and I used the colour bronzing summer.

Step 4: After I had finished applying the foundation the contouring the next thing I did was the eyebrows using an eyebrow brush, using the bristly end I brushed the eyebrows making them neater, then using the light brown shade from Kryolan's natural eye shadow palette I then applied the colour through the hair on the eyebrows.

Step 5: The next thing I did was the eyes, with the same palette I used for the eyebrows. Starting with the beige colour in the inner corner of both eyes which I applied halfway along the eyelid. From the outer corner of the eyes I used the darkest brown which was then blended into the lighter brown then into the beige colour. I then used the darkest brown from the outer corner and smudged it underneath the lower lash line.

I also added a red coloured eyeshadow from Kryolan's variety coloured eyeshadow palette, as well as a red coloured greasepaint to make the colour more intense and a red lip liner pencil to the bottom water line.

Step 6: Once I am finished with the eyeshadows and the other products, I will then liner the top lash line with a liquid eyeliner and then applied mascara on top to make they eyes more defined.

Step 7: When the eyeliner and mascara have dried, I will then use Kryolan's supra colour greasepaint palette to create veins coming from the eyes. Using the colour 081 which is burgundy coloured and a flat brush to gently create veins.

Step 8: Using the same brush and whatever product left on the there I will then use this to create a blood like stain in the middle of the lips, once I am happy with the shape on the lips where they join together I will then go back in and add a bit more product.

Evaluation:

For my third look I have decided to have aspects from both my first and second design as I really liked some things about those designs. I am still having the eyes dark and smoky eyes with the use of the red eyeshadow under the lower lash line like in the first design, as I like the effect it gives. I also added in some veins under the eyes as I felt that my Claudia would fit more into the tv series that I have chosen. And the final thing that I added was the lips as I liked the idea of the lips looking vampy and having a full lip but with the veins under the eyes and the lips being full I thought that there might be too much going on. So I decided that I would add a little colour to lips with smudging the purple and red in the center of the lips to create a blood stain effect. I am happy with this design as I feel like it isn't too simple and then it is not to complicated either.

Claudia: Face Charts

Face Design 1

When creating looks for my Claudia at first I wanted her to look like she has just fed so I designed her to have a small amount of blood dripping from the corner of her lip. I also designed her to have smokey smouldering eyes to intensify them as well as having red eye shadow on the lower lash line as this gave the eyes a bit of an evil look which I like. Although I do like this design and I like the full red lip look however I felt that having a full red lip as well as blood coming from the corner would be too much.

Face Design 2

For my second design I wanted it to be a more plain compared to my first design as I thought it didn't all go together. For this design I went for a plain simple yet bold purple lip stick as it gave it a dark vampy look which I really like, I still kept with the smoky eyes, however I used a few darker colours to make the eyes more intense, and I changed the shaped of the eyeliner as the first design was too winged out and I don't think it really suits how I want my Claudia to be portrayed. Where as I am happy with the shape of the eyeliner in this design, Although in this design I like it a lot more than the first especially the eyes, I feel like it is a bit to simple and this is how I came up with the third and final design.

Vampires

Vampire Diaries:

The vampires in this TV series are slightly different to the myths of what vampires should be like, as the stereotypical vampire, is pale white whereas these vampires fit in well with the location they are set in. The only thing that you could tell them about from humans is that when they are about to feed or warn someone off someone there fangs come out and they get red veins under their eyes which move when feeding.

As some of the myths of would have said that to kill vampires would to drive a steak through their heart, for these vampires that faten death does apply to them, and if they stabbed with it anywhere else apart from the heart it just injures them but as they are immortal and strong they can just pull it out and heal within seconds.

Twilight:

With the vampires from twilight are again a little different as the myth that says vampires are killed by a steak through the heart, whereas in twilight they are killed by getting their heads ripped off then being burnt after. They also have fangs but when they are going to kill, with the cullen family they do not feed on human blood so therefore their eyes are a different colour whereas the vampires that drink human blood have red eyes. With another myth that vampires can't go out in the sunlight, the writer of these books had deliberately set them in a place where sun hards shines. Twilight has still used this myth although there are some changes where the sunlight should have killed them however their skin just becomes shiny and sparkly and iced cold. These vampires also have special powers, not all of them have it only certain ones such as Edward can read minds, Alice can see into the future and when Bella turns into a vampire she has a force field.

Van Helsing:

 With the van helsing vampires they are these three beautiful women who can turn into these hideous creatures with wings, again these vampires live in a place where it is constantly cloudy and grey looking. These vampires also have a power which is hypnotising men and women with their beauty. The way to kill these vampires is to get holy water from the church and shot them in the heart. Although it always comes down to the heart to kill vampires there are many different ways to kill vampires.

Vampire Myth and Legends

We all assume that vampires, are cold to touch, pale, very fast and very strong and not much can fatally harm them, apart from the one way you can kill them.
For years vampires have gotten all sorts of well known legends about themselves. These myths include:

- Steak through the heart: certain types of wood were said to be the most effective towards these old vampires, such as maple, hawthorn and aspen.

- Bats: Since the film Dracula by Bram Stoker, this is what made the legend that vampires turn into bats, however it wasn't that far off as some old legends believed that certain types of vampires could turn into animals.

- Water: Two main things with waters and vampires is that they can't cross running water and that holy water can burn them, but once again these myths are down to authors, TV series and films creating things that can defeat such evil characters.

- Mirrors: Back when people genuinely thought that vampires were real, they did believe that they didn't have a reflect in a mirror as they believed mirrors reflected souls and that evil beings do not have a soul.

- Fangs: Again it is down to authors, films and TV series that have created vampires to have fangs, whereas folklore believed very few vampires had fangs. The use of fangs to create vampires was to add a more scary effect to the character.

- Sunlight: Another myth is that vampires can't go out in sunlight as this is another way to kill vampires, but again it is down to folklore and fiction that this myth has come about, but again in folklore they believed that some could walk in daylight.

- Blood: This is the biggest belief in folklore, that vampires drink blood, its evitable that vampires drink blood as after all blood is life, so the undead would feed on blood to survive.

Quentin

He is Claudia's imaginary boyfriend, he is a constant disappointment to her. Although they don't live together he visits her regularly and they talk over the phone if he can't get in to see her. Because he is apart from her imagination his appearance changes to suit her mood, sometime he can be a David Beckham looking guy, whereas in another scene he can be looking like Pete Docherty type, Daniel Craig type or a Hollyoaks Babe. If Claudia having a bad day Quentin will morph into an uncouth couch potato chav with all the brings with it.
Quentin is also into horror films as she is and into role-playing to suit her whims and moods.
However Claudia has a paranoid suspicion that he is constantly having affairs behind her back and keeps him firmly under her thumb, sometimes restraining him or keeping him prisoner in one of her rooms.

My chose keyword: Taste

I have chosen this word for Quentin, as he is a vampire and I wanted him to have a big influence on her, as they are both vampires and he is more willing to drink human blood than she is and I wanted her to be more innocent but with a bad side to her to fit in with the other characters from vampire diaries, and for this bad side to come out I wanted him to be the bad influence.
