Practice for look 2 (Victim)
Below i prracticed on myself the curling on hair and pinning it on top, and the red eye liner and mascara. I love the effectiveness of the eyes, it makes me look ill.
Airbrushing-Technical Lesson
Health and safety, & Tips:
- Well ventilated area
- Check pressures before use
- Cover model with wrap
- Must have parents permission when airbrushing anyone under 16
- Do NOT airbrush over any open wounds
- Always take spare needle and nossle cap on shoots, they both ware out and the needle could break or split
- Treat the airbrush with care as they are delicate
- For older people, be very careful with the amount placed around the eyes, as it could have a reverse effect
- The last colour used is always the one that stays in the needle
- Take expensive shoes, clothing and jewelry of as it could spray everywhere
- Makeup face to face, not infront of a mirror
- Pressure should not be above 12
- Talk your way through the makeup
- Do not let the model breathe in the spray
- Be aware of beards and eyebrows
- No cross contamination
- All products whatever base must not be thicker than semi skimmed milk
- Water based/Alcohol based/Silicone based
- Alcohol based-great for continuity because it stays on skin, however caution has to be caused on the face
- Use silicone to cover up bruises and tattoos
- For fashion and HD TV- Airbrushing always works well
- Brand-Temptue
- Silicone drys quickly and is based with plastic inside. It has a ball bearing inside so it breaks the lumps up, however it has to be shaken well before use.
- Place a tiny bit of thinner first to see if airbrush is working
- Mix colours together as you would a normal base
- Test the colour on the side of the face as you would a traditional base
- To mix the bases, cover end with tissue, unscrew the nossle cap, and gently pull back the lever until the colours start to bubble.
- Always stretch the neck up when airbrushing
- 99% of problems in airbrushing is because they are not cleaned properly
- Clean airbrush straight away, as both silicone and alcohol products have properties inside that dry and this ruins the needle.
- Empty the colour cups excess paint
- Add cleaning soltuion
- Wipe the cup with tissue paper or cotton buds
- Add more solution to the cup
- Spray cleaner into a tissue through the airbrush until it sprays clear
- Clean excess with tissue

model for look 2-Alyse
Alyse is going to be my beautiful model for my second look of the Bloody Mary project. I chose Alyse due to her hair being the perfect colour and length (not to long or short) for the image i am aiming for. Her pale complexion also helps, as mentioned before, i want to create an angelic/victimised mood.
Experimenting with Caseys images;
Above i changed the eye colour, to make my model look more evil. I love how it works, so i may edit one of my final images like this.
This is a ghostly effect i used on the same image. I love the blurryness of it, and how you can still see the black liquid falling from the mouth. Theres a strange atmosphere given off by the photograph, almost as if Bloody Mary is coming to haunt the viewer.
Hair for look 2
I would like the hair to be styled up as shown on the sketch above. It has most of the techniques we have learnt during this term, styled up, platting, crimping and curling.
I tried it out on my own hair, however as its long, it was very difficult to do so:
