DESIGN STATEMENT:
I wanted to design a character that made me happy. I love sparkly things, holographic things, and beautiful rainbows. I don't usually show it on the outside but I do enjoy all the shiny things! So using my love for the colors of the Athena Grease Makeup Pallet and sparkly rhinestones, I designed this look with my extreme happiness in mind. My research was quick since I knew mostly what I wanted to do at the start.

This was my favorite image and the one that evoked my main design. she's beautiful and the glowing colors inspire me.
She looks so thrilled and confidant. The painting is amazing!
The high glam look with the all white bling and the placement are perfection.
An image of my favorite holographic type colors.
I loved the 1920s vibe of the very short hair made with the stones.
The placement isn't great on this but I still loved the look.
This is my second favorite image with the colors of the stones and the thickness of their placement.
She's so glowy!
More of a mixture of the colors I enjoyed.
The whimsy of the curls and swirls are so pretty.
The photo of this woman is so pretty. I love the dewy and hazy feel of this look.
These are the rhinestones I love!!

EXAMPLE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A PHOTO FOR EACH STEP
Moisturize where the Prosaid will be placed
Comb back hair carefully, use gel if you need to tame some flyaways
Braid if hair is long enough and tuck in the back
Place bald cap and glue
Carefully remove ear holes and continue gluing cap
Using 100% Acetone, carefully push and roll to seal cap to head and remove excess
After cap is on and cleaned up, use Kryolan Supracolor in client's skin tone mix to blend edges to head
Use Athena Grease Makeup in multi colors and brush gently around starting at crown of head
Blend down onto eyelids from temples
Add a winged eyeliner over lid
Powder significantly
Using more Prosaid, dab a small amount on gems and add one by one in desired pattern
Using Athena Grease Makeup, you can add a bit to the lip.
Using creme makeup matching the skin, apply all over foundation in a midtone (photo 1).
Sparkle!
REFLECTION AND CRITIQUE
REFLECTION AND CRITIQUE
I figured it would take me about 2 hours to apply as I wanted to do more and take more time on the bald cap but due to some unforseen bald cap issues, I ended up cutting that time down into an hour and 15 minutes. The look was also going to have a blinged up mask but my materials for that item didn't arrive in time. I wish I had paid better attention to the material of the cap so I could have place more jewels. I'd like to also find a better way to apply the gems as everything got very sticky very fast. I think I would like to make sure I spend more time on the cap itself, simply to make it look as good as possible before applying the makeup. I think learning how to make someone bald is crucial for stage and screen due to illness of characters, specific looks for characters, such as toughness or frailty, and also for fun edgy looks like this one.
