Project Evaluation

   It is unbelievable that this is the last project for my first year of university life, and I have completed the project! At first, I was not quite sure which urban legend I wanted do for this project, until I came up with the vampire idea for "The Babysitter and The Man Upstairs" urban legend. After watching several reference films based on the story of The Babysitter and The Man Upstairs, I feel my vampire idea really stands out as it has not been discovered before!

   The most enjoyable part of this whole project was doing the researching for different versions of vampires that have been made before. I am the person who's really obsessed with the vampire thing, so it was a pleasure for me doing all these work! However, I have noticed that because I was putting all my attention into the vampire character, which made me left the second character (The babysitter) behind. This might be the problem which I need to warn myself for next time. Although I did not do much researches on the second character, I still happy with the final outcome. The whole make-up application almost took me 3 hours to complete it. As I was trying to achieve the most realistic vampire bite mark, and putting on individual eyelashes also took quite a long time. The final design of the babysitter is quite simple, but it does not mean I put less effort while doing the look.

   Overall, I think I have done a pretty good job on this urban legend project, and I think I have moved one more step closer to the professional makeup artist.

Babysitter Final Images

   Here you go, my babysitter's final images! The vampire bite mark actually was not that easy to create, as the skin texture of neck is really soft and stretchable which means that it would be much more difficult to smooth down the Plasto onto the skin! I am glad I succeed in the end and it looks so real in the pictures! Also, I think I have done a pretty good job on achieving the perfect complexion, I absolutely love the contour shadow underneath the cheekbones. I love the combination of beauty and gore :P

Working Process

Step 1: Tie model's hair into a loose low bun. Backcomb the hair to achieve some volume on the top. Then softly pull all hair to the back, tie it with a rubber band. Backcomb the ponytail and take sections of hair surround into a bun. Use some hairspray to keep holding the hairstyle.

Step 2: Use Plasto as the fake skin, shape it into vampire bite wounds. Smooth down the edges of Plasto so it fade into the real skin. Powdered the Plasto afterwards so it won't be sticky anymore.

Step 3: Use Real Techniques expert face brush and cream foundation palette by Screen Face, apply a smooth base. Conceal any blemishes and redness, then lightly powdered the face. Then, use Illamasqua powder blusher in Disobey to contour sides of forehead, underneath the cheekbones and jawlines. 

Step 4: Put some lip balm on the lips to prepare for the application afterwards. Apply some light brown eyeshadow on the outer corner of the eyes to define the eye shape using Screen Face eyeshadow palette. Then curl the lashes, apply some mascara and put on individual false eyelashes. Use No.7 lipstick in Grape on the lips. Finish the whole face makeup with L'oreal Paris powder blush in True Rose on the cheeks, blend it nicely into the contour colour.

Step 5: Use some fake gore in the vampire bite wounds, and some fake blood running down the neck.
