Look 3 – OCD

In this post I have completed an evaluation of my third look, based on obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Make-up

Although I do feel this makeup works to present this disorder, I feel I could have represented this better if I had made the makeup more dramatic. For example, I think if I had carried the lines cross the bridge of the nose, and to either side of the face, like some glasses, I may have created a more effective finish. However, I am happy with how my base make-up turned out, and love the natural colouring I created on the lip. This look definitely works to represent editorial beauty.

Hair

Unlike the make-up, I am extremely satisfied with the result of my hair design. Creating the Mohawk like style, while keeping it messy and imperfect, helped to represent the idea of chaos in the mind. I feel this worked really effectively with my design.

Costume

As stated in my designs, I used a leather jacket, lined with feathers, to further emphasise the messy look. I feel this complimented the hair really well, however did take focus away from the make-up design.

Photography

I am really happy with the images we created from this look. My models serious posing helped to further amplify the ideas I have been wanting to present within my look and created a really effective overall finish. Although I was not overly happy with the make-up in itself, I am extremely happy with my outcomes.
