Inspiration for the colouring/ body paint
Blue Charactures/creatures and Makeup
What i really want to create with this makeup is the planet earth represented "Beautifully" on the body.
This is a rough sketch of the face of my model with an idea of colours on the face.
I want to take inspiration from current beauty trends, epecially from the US, withthe "Kardashion" fashion highlight and contouring of the face.
Personally i think this will work well, but i need ot practice and do some tests.
Hair- i think because my model's hair is blonde if i airbrush/spray it blue it will pick up the colour quite well.

After my visit to the science and natural history museums i have been looking into satellite images for inspiration for my work.

Neytiri- Avatar (2009)
I don't want too many similarities to Neytiri with my makeup. I dont think there will be because of the differences in shapes with her face. Also mine is not a character but more of a beauty look.
But there are things i get inspired by with this character.
The blue and the beauty combined.
-
To do this she has lighter blue highlights across the t-zone and the cheekbones.
-
the freckles on her face give a bit of a "natural" beauty look to an unnatural character and the stripes on her forheard add extrsa contour and guide your eyes to the centre of her face.
-
Obviousy Zoe Saldana's features through CGI accent the beauty, but also there are things that have been changed and added. For example the wide eyes and the bigger lips which i would not be able to do on my character.
-
However what i do like about the lips is the ombre colouring, the change from blue to purple which accents the beauty.
Mystique- XMen Series (2000-2013)
I don't think that the colouring of this makeup is particularly inspiring with.
