Makeup Testing

Using our initial ideas for make up we decided to have a test for the dancers and lead make up. We decided to go for a dark smoky grey eye and bright red lips for the dancers to correspond with the white dresses of the dancers. This make up will be in colour as the dancers are going to be dancing after the change from black/white to colour so the red will be vibrant. Additionally, red is the colour we are using to connect all the scenarios together so this will play an important role. We decided to go for a blue/silver eye with neutral lips for the lead, this will be shown as shadowing in the black/white part of the video but then show the colour of the make up in the color part of the video. We chose the blue as this is a soft colour, conveying sadness- in this case we want sympathy for those around her to be in fitting with the song. We plan on keeping the lips neutral to make the eye makeup more of an impact and we feel that a block colour would be too harsh. Our testing went well, however, we would plan on tweaking the dancer makeup slightly, adding more shine to the lips which will make them look more noticeable on camera. We also plan on having a larger flick on the eyelid.
