Conclusion

Conclusion of Shooting beauty: Givenchy advert and editorial 

At the beginning of the project I was given a makeup/perfume brand; Givenchy, and an inspirational word; Fleeting. I found it difficult to expand and research into my inspirational word given to me, I knew the meaning but I didn't want to be too literal with my final makeup look. After researching and finding out what the word inspires me to think of, I then started to experiment with mood boards, story boards and face charts. I linked my word to other words such as; transparent, gel, gloss, sticky, and shine, going on from this I experimented with different gloss and gel products to find the most effective glossy product. 

For the makeup for my shoot I matched the foundation to the models face and then used my mac eye shadow palette to add a subtle purple shade to the eye lids and mac gel over the top, and on the eye brows and eye lashes. I also used some on the cheek bones and the collar bones to accentuate the body shape of the model and to add shine to the skin, I wanted to use subtle amounts of makeup to keep with there transparent design. For my editorial I used more gloss over the models while face, focusing on the cheek bones, collar bones and forehead, I also added more colour to he models face using purple shades from my eye shadow palette. I used the eye shadow and the gel product in the same way I would use a contour kit. For the models hair I used straighteners, coconut oil and a smoothing spray to keep the hair pulled back from the face, I wanted to make the model look mature and sophisticated to fit in with the Givenchy style.

For the lighting set up I used the three lights, two soft boxes, a beauty dish and a black backdrop. I am happy with the overall finish to my design, I liked the use of gel on the models skin and I was able to use my chosen lighting set up to get the most light to reflect off of the gel product. To improve on my photography and styling skills; I will use two different models for an advert and editorial to enable me to find more models, practice makeup skills on a range of people and to show I can work two different designs.

Concept

The theme for this shoot is 'Fleeting.' I will be creating both an advert and an editorial look inspired by the chosen word and in the style of Givenchy. Both looks will be based on the same inspiration and colour palette, but the editorial will show a more exaggerated look.

Make-up test on a model

Make-up Test on a Model 

What I used:

• Kryolan foundation palette
• mac gloss gel 
• kryolan lipstick palette 
• makeup brushes 
• dark gel eyeshadow 

This is the practice of my design for my Givenchy 'fleeting' advert, I have experimented with using a darker pink than I originally wanted. For the models darker skin I will use a nude pink colour to illustrate the subtlety to my design, I have also used mac gel over the lip colour to make it glossy and over parts of the face to contour with shine. My plan next is to experiment with my ideas using face charts and to practice my editorial look ready for my photo shoot.  

I have tested out using light pink on the lips, this look would have captures my idea if I had used a white model, due to the skin tone of the model I will be using I will change the makeup colours to match. I will use dark purples and natural browns to subtly accentuate the models natural beauty.    

   

Face Charts for advert

After researching into fleeting, I have created a makeup look that makes me think of my key word, they relate to each other because fleeting, being short lived reminds me of the translucent and shiny gel like textures, water and transparent goo. For these designs I have used subtle colours to accentuate the model and I will add mac gel gold over the eye lids and the lips. The face charts are based on the same concept, I played around with the subtlety of colours. 

Face Charts For Editorial

For his face chart design I have used very subtle colours to accentuate the features of the model, the main focus for this design id he gloss aspect. I want to cover the face in mac gloss gel to bring it to a shine, I will cover the whole face in the gel and especially on the lips.
