Creating Estella

For my design of Estella, I wanted to create something simple to show her effortless, youthfulness, beauty and desirability. I kept the make up very simple but creating a flawless base with a slight contour and a pink blushed cheek. I kept the lips natural but adding just a slight shine so they looked supple and put a very light coat of black mascara just to open the eyes. I left the brows natural and just brushed them into place. The hair was the main thing I wanted to focus on as this would have been historically correct.

Product List For Make Up:

• Kryolan Ultra foundation
• Illmasqua skin base in white
• Ben Nye Translucent powder
• Kryolan shadow palette
• Benetint lip
• Kyrolan lip palette
• Bobbi Brown mascara

1. I began by applying the base, mixing the correct colour and testing this out on the jawline. Once I was happy with the colour, I started to apply the mixture.
2. I then concealed any dark circles and blemishes on the skin.
3. I then set the base with powder.
4. I continued with the base by applying the contour and blush just on the apples of the cheek to make her look youthful.
5. I applied a little bit of benetint to the lips and used a clear gloss to give a shine.
6. I then applied mascara from root to tip. 

Product List for Hair:Curling Tong

• Brunette hair grips
• Pin tail comb
• Hairbrush
• Flowers for hair
• Sectioning clips

1. I began with curling all the hair and sectioning into the appropriate sections
2. I did a half up half down look and pined the top section in to a bun, placing curls in the random places.
3. I then made pin curls and placed these around the bun as a platform for the flowers to sit in.
4. I left small sections out at the front of the head and curled them to frame the face. 
5. I clipped the front sections up and hid the ends in the bun.
6. I smoothed the flyaway's with hairspray.

I am happy with how my Estella design came out. I know I could have done certain things better as my practice went better in my opinion but I'm still happy. I am happy with the make up, I just wished I concealed a little more around the eyes so she looked a little more fresh faced. I would like to improve where I placed the flowers in the hair if I was to do it again, but because they were not attaching in to the hair as well.
