JACK SPARROW

Jack Sparrow's look consisted of thick dreadlocks, gold teeth, a pleated goatee, a leather hat, beads in the hair, a red headband, black coat, the black eye make up and he was perfect!. To create this look i would start the smudgy eye look by giving the eye a base by using a concealer, applying in a patting motion across the eyelid, in the corners and a little underneath. Next i'd use a soft kohl black eyeliner starting at the inside corner drawing a medium sized line along the lash line then drawing along the inside lower lid then another line along that lower lash line. Using an angle brush i would then apply a little black powder eyeshadow above the line on the upper lid then the same underneath the eyes, brushing the shadow down a little further. To finish i would use my fingers to smudge out the upper eyeliner, blending it all over the eyelid then applying translucent powder to set!





EDWARD SISSORHANDS

Edwards character is very iconic and unusual, his look is very bizarre. To recreate the characters facial makeup i would create some scars using latex and perhaps some toilet paper to give it the effect that he catches his face with his scissor fingers. Large scars can be created by soaking a small amount of toilet paper in latex and sticking it onto the face pinching it to create a realistic scar on the face. Net i would apply a very pale almost white colour foundation or mixing some white grease paint with some foundation to the entire face and part of the neck. Some shading is needed so a reddish purple colour that looks like bruising can be applied to make him look guant. Creating dark circles around the eyes and streaks along the cheekbones then blending it well to look subtle. The lips are a deep purple shade. Using powder over the face and lips will make the face look dry rather than shiny.

History of make up

HISTORY OF MAKE UP
The history of face make-up dates thousands of years back to the 1st Century Egyptians were the first to use face make-up, they were the first to document the importance of makeup as an important part of culture as seen in the ancient Egyptian tomb paintings. Egyptians used natural ingredients such as unguent, a hydrating substance, and kohl, soot, to beautify the skin and appearance. Egyptians were very aware of the beauty of soft skin and seductive eyes. The eye make up they used concentrated in providing colour to their eyelashes, eye lids and eye brows. The favourite colours were black and green. The powders used to create the eye make up were ground on a palette then mixed with water to form a paste. Kohl is a mixed of soot and galena and was stored in a richly decorated container called a kohl pot.
