Review of Quentin Make up and Shoot

I feel that this ideas worked pretty well, both in terms of make up styling and the poses I chose. Although the make up wasn't the most difficult to apply I think the over all effect looked good on camera and was suitable for the character, being a romantic and mysterious vampire, snd in terms of mood he is rather sad, reflective and deep in thought.
On the left eye (right on camera) the eye make up did run a little whichever appeared a bit panda like in the shots. The models eye did run alot on this side during the shoot which I can only assume is down to the fact that they are not used to wearing eye make up. Although I did attempt to amend the make up between shots I think this smudging of black under the eye is more noticable in the pictures than I thought it would be looking at the small image on the camera screen.
The clothes I think reflected the character well who I wanted to look smart, attractive and gentlemanly.
I was most pleased with how Quentin's hair turned out as I wanted it to be modern and stylish, and although my models hair was very short on the sides already which was perfect for my look, his hair on top is naturally curly and I wanted a sleek straight comb over which I think I achieved well only using wax and hairspray without the use of straighteners
If I was to re create this look I would definitely give myself more time to do the shoot and perfect the make up as I felt a bit rushed trying to take the pictures as my model had a busy schedule on the day and needed to get away. Also finding a day when we were both free during the easter holidays to shoot proved rather difficult.
