| MONUMENTAL PACKAGE FROM WGSN |
The idea for this design was to have two creative takes on jealousy - the first uses the hair as an extension of the skin to show how jealousy is trapped in the head of the individual, the second focusses makeup on the eyes to express a "see no evil' connection between expressions of jealousy.
WGSN has proved to be invaluable when looking not only for inspiration but also for tonal aspects to inspire me when creating a general mood for each of the shoots that I am preparing. Their "Monumental" trend package hits a similar note to the absence I am aiming for with this shoot, while giving tonal and textual inspirations.
Gold features heavily through WGSN, a colour that I had originally wanted to feature for the strong eyes loo of the second jealousy shoot. I was glad to see this, because I now can link my initial thoughts and ideas to legitimately certified trend experts, meaning that my shoot will have some viability in terms of fashion relevance in the industry. I also feel it is relevant to this shoot because, to me, gold has a temperamental meaning - it is used interchangeably in media for both light and dark moods. It can be light and magical or dark and for boding and this will give a deeper mood to the shoot for more connectivity to the audience.
TEXTURE AND TRENDS
Texture is fast becoming a strong theme through my shoots - it illustrates skin in one of its most natural forms. Therefore I want to incorporate this into the makeup to create a connection between skin and the makeup itself. Gold has many textures so I created the board below as an inspiration board to showcase textures that have inspired me through this shoot design. Its important to me to know the different ways that gold can be displayed, moved and applied before I start designing the makeup in depth.
I have also incorporated the hair into this, to display different ways that other creates are taking on the ask of crewing textual "hair cages" and then see how I can merge the two together to ensure that the shoot flows nicely.

UPDATE
|
The below mood board was created after incorporating the above factors. I now have a really specific idea in my head for the aesthetic outcome of this shoot including styling and post production. Styling will be smile yet effective - I have sourced a mesh body suit that compliments the stringy texture of the "hair cage" while remaining current and fashionably edgy. I have chosen a model who I know is talented and who will fit the heme of the shoot.
Initial makeup tests taught me a lot about the application on metallic paints. I do not like the second look and i don't think it early portrays what I want to portray. The first eye is what Im going to work on. I need to use more aggressive brush strokes over a larger surface area to create a more textured look based off of the textural research that I've done above.
