The hair is going to be a sleep updo incorporating a twisted fishtail plait (see assessment post for how to) pulled up into a bun. I want the hair all over to be sleek so no wispy bits. The hair here represents an evening look that could be taken from day wear into evening.

Above are the final images. The subtle contouring and matte skin create a flawless evening look with a sleek updo. The lipstick isn't as dark as I thought it would be but I think that it reflects the mood of the lighting well. The eye is simple with the main focus being on the lip. 

Evening Look Moodboard

The inspiration for hair to create an evening look is in the moodboard above. I want the hair to be sleek including a plait to bring some texture to the look.

The lighting inspiration is in the moodboard above. I want to use red lighting gels to create the effect that my model is on her night out. I only want the light on one side of the face so that you can still see the makeup that has been created.

My makeup idea is to create a simple eye with a bold dark red lip using Nars Sixties Fan Lipgloss. I will simply line the eye with blackeyeliner. Once again I want the skin to be flawless and dewy with highlight catching in the lighting used.

The poses are as above. Close ups of the model but also introducing the use of hands and showing off the styling. I have got a backless white dress for my model to wear, so I want the detailing of this to be picked up within the image.

Daytime Test Look

In order to make sure my daytime look makeup worked I carried out a test. The skin at first was matte with subtle contouring with a simple brown smokey eye effect. After looking at the design I had created I decided that the skin should be dewy and highlighted with the eye reflecting this. I decided to change my design because I thought Nars skin was more dewy than matte which would create a high end finish. 

I changed the skin so that it was highlighted better. Instead of using an eyeshadow I mixed a pigment with mixing medium to create a high shine shadow which I think works better than the original. Although it is a daytime look I think it could still work. The lips with added gloss so that the highlight ties in together around the face.

The hair for my daytime look will be natural. I want the hair to show the modern woman and how she would wear it to work and other daily engagements. The hair at the roots will be sleek flowing down into a natural wave.

The final image created by using the above face chart. The makeup is soft and flawless creating a daytime look inspired by Nars.

Daytime Moodboard

My Daytime hair style inspiration is shown in the moodboard above. I want the hair to be very relaxed and natural to reflect the modern women and how everyday hair is. The model I have chosen has long natural wavy hair so little styling is required. I will place oil through the hair to create a sleek feel but keep some of the texture within the hair.

Above is the test for my daytime look. I decided after the test that the skin needs to be more dewy and the eyes I would prefer to be more brown than copper.

The makeup inspiration for my daytime look is in the moodboard above. I want the skin to be dewy and highlighted to show health. The eyes will be a light brown colour and the lips pink using Nars 'Catfight' featured above. I want to keep the colours neutral to show a realistic interpretation of a wearable look.

The lighting and poses inspiration for my photographer to follow is in the moodboards above.  I want the background to be green to show the colour of nature in everyday and to also work well with the neutral colours that I am using in my makeup design. The lighting will throw shadow onto one side of the face allowing the other side to show the highlight created. I think creating shadow on the face will show depth. I want the poses to be natural to reflect on the daytime aspect.
