Claudia Character design.

In American Horror Story Hotel that i have chosen as my tv series for these characters, i haved looked at Sally, a little bit of background behind sally is that she is emotional, angry and pretends to be innocent.






What i wanted to do is make Claudia fashion sense outdated, dresses like it is the 20s, but be in the hotel in modern day 2016, how she relates to Sally, is that she is a lost soul, but is somehow driven mad by watching all the horror films and also for making up Quentin, so she thinks that he exists, which he doesn't and he is imagininary, but the hotel makes everyone think that he does exist, as anyone can see him, but only when they are in the hotel.The look she will have is makeup that is over the top 1920s makeup and shows the emotion in and even looks messy, as Claudia is crazy.

Hair inspired by American Horror Story

For this it was hair inspired by American Horror story, it is the maid in the first season.
What i did first was use hot curlers, before that need to section the hair and curl the hair at the front up into it, and just keep going along the front of the hair.

The next is to section it at the back to put the next lot of hot curlers in, which are blue. So that there are curls in the whole hair, so when you take it out the hair at the bottom will roll up.

I didnt get to finish it all, as i found it difficult to get the right angle of the curlers and it didnt work that well. I think if i did it again, i would think about how to do more clearly and be confident that i can and i have learnt from that.The thing i need to work on is timing, as i take quite a while, as i want it to work.

Claudia Makeup practice 2

Products used
Kryolan Supracolor
Matte Primer

Brushes Used
eyeshadow Brush
Lip Brush
Blending Brush
Foundation Brush

First i applied the matte primer, the white supracolor to the skin for the base, then make sure is over the eyebrows, then using a eyeshadow brush apply it to the eyes, and a pink supracolor down the face, so it looks like she has been crying and i want it to be messy.
The lips is just outlined with white, then filled in with black and purple supracolor, to give the 1920s look again.


I think this one went a lot better than the first one and shows the emotion with the pink down the face and even because i have applied a white base first. I didnt go as over the top with the eyes, as i didnt want it to dark, but enough that it contrasts with the white face. I want to do this as my final make up look for Claudia as i think it shows the emotion she is feeling and shows the 1920s look, but over the top enough that it won.t look bad.

Continuity Photographs

First Assessment

 These were the first images i did and it shows the makeup from different angles, but i didnt do the hair for the first one, as i done it for the second assessment. I like the lighting and shows the makeup clearly. For the veins it was Tuplast and then i mixed colours from the Kryolan supracolor palette to make the veins. The red eyes do not stand out, which is what i wanted, as it is like a fever.










































Second Assessment






I think i like the veins that i created on the first assessment, but i like the hair and eyes on this one, What i would improve if i did it again was to think about how to make it look neater,as it is not just how i want it. When looking at from the back it looks good and is a bun that i twisted the hair up into.

I used latex for the veins here and they do blend into the skin a lot easier than the Tuplast and the colour was easier to mixed onto it.

Hair charts for Claudia and Quentin

The hair for quentin i was looking at pulled back hair, but it is kind of difficult to achieve this look as i have never done it before and dont know if it will work, i was inpsired by greasers, to make that sort of bad guy look. I think i should have looked into buy something to create it more in this image.

For claudia's hair i wanted something big and frizzy, so crimp the hair downwards, but leave the top of the hair straight, as i want to backcomb the crimped part. I think i want to focus nore on claudia tho, as my word is face and i want to show that as much as possible.

Face Charts for Claudia.

 This face chart was a 1920s look for Claudia and i was inspired by images on pinterest of John Paul Gautier catwalk show, of really emotional looking makeup that was created on the models face. I like the messy look of the eyeshadow, as it does stand out and over the top. The lips i like the colour of as it contrasts well with the eyes.

This is slightly the same as the first one, but the eyeshadow is down the face, as though she has been crying and the lips are the same purple, which do not over lap the upper lip, as that is the 1920s look, i think i like this one the best and would use this for my final design of Claudia. I will create this look with the products i have labelled next to it, as these are the best products to use to do it. For the lips i want to make the purple heavier and the black to, so it creates emotion and show makes the lips stand out against the pale skin.

I dont like this one as much as the other two, because the eyeshadow is covering most of the face and i dont think it looks 1920s enough and doesnt show the emotion that i want to get through, and as my key word is face, i want to look at the face as much as possible and create makeup that stands out.
