Shoot 4 Editorial Night mood board and facial chart

The mood Board

The mood board for my editorial work has been based on the Chanel catwalk show for the collection of S/S 16 Couture which see's Chanel using a romantic makeup look that holds natural coverage pink lips and a dramatic eyeliner that is slick and stands out against the detailed fabrics and textures of the clothing. This show has been a inspiration in other shoots I think I took so much from it because of the created set and how the eyeliner which could be seen as influences from Cleopatra or as creative markings which I believe makeup is as a art form. I've placed roses on top of the design because of my wish to add some flowers I've pressed onto the hair. 

The facial Charts


The designs for my shoot are all very similar as I already knew what I wanted tonal wise within the coverage for the skin and the bronzer and blush that will  be on the skin. The lips are a brushed pink lip that will be in a number of different pinks with the design I'm going for which is the bottom due to it being my favourite eyeliner and the most similar to the Chanel show. The hair will be parted in the middle with natural hair and flowers pinned pressed flowers at the front of the hair and slightly covering the face. I want the overall shoot to look romantic and be a editorial take on the Couture S/S 16 show.

Final Images for Advertising shoot 3 "Night"


Edit with Chanel Logo for submission 


The final images from my work I'm pleased with because I feel like the shoot has formed from my plan because I knew what I wanted. The makeup over all is soft and seemingly romantic with against the bright yellow background and white coat which really juxtaposes the darkness of my models hair and makeup. The bronzing of the skin Im happy with because of the blending with the highlight on the face which looks gentle with the necklace that is also glowing from the natural light. I like the connection the model is having with the camera and the expression on her face as she looks relaxed against the camera. The entire makeup I think looks youthful with the playful yet high fashion look that is the side french plait I also like the look of the headband that is placed at the front of the hair against the brooch like its a head piece that and the necklace stand out and add luxury to the photo. I think theres a lot of detailing in the photo such as the textures of the coat and jewels on the necklace and hair slightly brushed on the face which I think work well.

Classic Shapes and Silhouettes


Health and Safety


  • Clean washed hands must always be the first thing before touching client
  • Hair is tied back at all times
  • Model should be wearing a apron or protected clothing
  • Must check whether there is any contraindications such as sickness or infection
Two hair styles that were created, basic looks that are important to learn for future use. The hair styles are a sleek pony tail and a french pleat. 

Sleek Pony Tail

Equipment needed for look 

  • Hair gel
  • Pintail Comb
  • Hair  bands
  • Hair grip
The first thing to do create a V section at the top of the hair from the crown that needs to be separated from the bottom of the hair.

Brush the bottom of the hair into a sleek ponytail using a little hair gel to help flatter the hair hair down to the head for more of a sleek look

Once the hair is tied and sleek at the bottom start the rest of the hair that was sectioned of into a V. Like with the hair before sleek the hair back and make sure the front section of the hair is tightly back with gel. Tie the hair on top of the previous band.

Next take out some hair from near the hair band that will be used to wrap around the band disguising it and to neaten the rest of the creation.








French Pleat

Equipment needed for look

  • Curling tongs
  • Paddle brush
  • Grips
Start of section the front of the hair and curling the sides away from the face on each side.

Brush the curls out a little and pull the hair towards the back of the head. Make sure the hair being pulled back is still neat.

With all the hair start by twisting it up and making sure that the bottom twist is thin not thick in the hair. Twist it to the head and then grip it in place making sure that its comfortable for the model and won't fall out or loose its place.

Chanel Beauty


Kristen Stewart has recently been named the new face of Chanel beauty 2016 this preview image is interesting because of the amount of arm that covers her face. Stewart's eye is the main focus as its selling the product being advertised. The image is feminine and sexy with the messy hair and focused eye. I look forward to seeing more of the images of Stewart being shown. 


Stewart herself also played Coco Chanel in a short film biopic directed by Karl Lagerfeld himself which was debuted in December last year. The film shows Stewart playing herself where she is meant to be portraying Coco Chanel and clashes with the director as she feels very passionately about the character and understanding her role as Coco. The film was interesting to watch as maybe not a fan of Stewarts previous work I feel her performance suits the role and its interesting to see her character really grow as a individual. 




Gisele Bundchen is the face of Chanel Beauty Les Beiges campaign which focus's on the skin with a range of foundations and powders. This image was shoot by Mario Testino in 2013 to introduce a new mattifying powder. Gisele is a iconic model who has walked top fashion brands. Gisele is also the newest face of the No.5 perfume where in the advert she portrays like her real life a beautiful top model who has a busy life between work and family where she lives in her luxury home with her husband and children; the struggle to have work commitments and her lifestyle have its restraints but in a realisation with the help of her No.5 smell she picks love over work; much like the Keira Knightly campaigns the advert feels like a modern day fairytale. 





Keira Knightly for Chanel's Rouge Coco Lipstick campaign. I really like this photo shoot of Knightly as the styling of clothing though black is still extremely high fashion with the Chanel embroidered on the sleeve saying "I love Coco" with the little Chanel symbol. The makeup is also smouldering black around the eyes and skin that perfect coverage for a soft highlight look against bold brows and the main focus of the dewy rich red lipstick thats the main focus being advertised.

Mood Board for advertising shoot 3




It's important to me to show the bronzed skin as a strong colour theme in the shoot; I want glowing bronzed skin with a strong highlight. The eye colouring will also be a brown eye shadowing of some kind depending on the designs I need to create. I want the over all palette of the look to be brown; my models hair is also dark. The location of my shoot will be in my garden against one of my sheds which is a bright yellow colour, yet again I want to shoot outside because I really enjoy shooting outside but also because I think the lighting is more natural. The idea behind this shoot is for a high fashion finish to the image I want the background to represent sunshine and freshness which a tanned makeup look can give. I decided in my mood board to show the image of Taylor Swift for Wonderland magazine because I love how her makeups been done; Swift has be transformed into a high fashion image from the use of her excessive bronzed makeup and swept back hair. The eye makeup will also be brown in a smokey eye look that I think will look really great against the skin tone. For the clothing I've been looking at keeping it very pure and simple looking at previous Chanel shows such as the Couture show from S/S13 when a lot of white colouring has been used; I think using a pale colour will really work against the background and bronzed makeup keeping it pure and fresh like the total campaign should be. I've added a brooch mixing old with new as I think a accessory will add a luxurious vibe to it especially if its vintage. 




Facial Charts

This entire shoot is all about the bronzed skin finish that is being advertised.

The first look is heavy in its bronzing blending up to the forehead, I look is mainly created with the Soleil tan but also with the morph palette which has a range of colour's in. The eye colouring is more of a neutral brown which is more subtle against the brown lip's which I've thought to include.


This makeup look similar to the first one is also heavy on the bronzing this time though the eye product is heavier using browns and coppers from the warm neutral palette by Mac. The lips are a more natural pink. 


The last and final look is probably my favourite with the 
bronzed cheeks and highlighted 
cheeks being clearer on the design. The eye's are also a messy smokey eye which I think makes it really interesting. I want to be grabbed by this makeup look with the palette of brown being strong on camera. 











The Hair


For the hair I want there to be a accessory in the hair featuring the vintage brooch which I've found and looks extremely similar to the one in the mood board which will look rich against the hair. I want to add texture to the hair so have been planning to add a french braid to the side of the hair which I think will look great and also youthful against the colouring of the back drop.

Finger Waves



Health and Safety
  • Clean washed hands must always be the first thing before touching client
  • Hair is tied back at all times
  • Model should be wearing a apron or protected clothing
  • Must check whether there is any contraindications such as sickness or infection


In class we were taught two different methods on creating finger waves. A method using a tong and then pinning until cool and a technique with the method of shaping the wave onto wet hair. The process of finger waving is more technical and does take time to perfect.
                     Tong Method 


Equipment needed for Tong Method

  • Pintail comb
  • Paddle Brush
  • Curling Tongs
  • Sectioning Clips
Method 
  • Section the hair using pintail, front of the hair 
  • Starting at top curl the hair curl in a downwards direction. Once cool pin into place with a section clip. 
  • repeat down the front of the hair 
  • Once complete and cooled take clips out and brush through with paddle brush
  • Following the direction of the hair place the sectioning clips into the sections of hair where the hair changes directions into natural curves
  • wait for 5 minutes for clips to set hair and remove. 

















Wet Hair
Equipment needed for wet hair method
  • Pintail comb
  • Water Spray
  • Sectioning clips

Method

  • Wet the hair and brush through
  • Place your finger across the top of the hair to start the process. Using the pintail in the other hand, place it on the head upright making sure placement is correct. Once placement is correct drag the comb in the direction that you want the hair to go and push up.
  • With your index finger and middle finger grasp the pushed up part of hair between both fingers and hold it there for a moment. Clip the hair with section comb across the bottom of the small waved section.
  • Continue down the hair ensuring that the waves are even and correctly made.
The waves do originally take time to correct the placement but once correct the hair can be completed from just the fringe to the entire head.

Soleil Tan De Chanel

The Bronzer which will be the main product for my third shoot based for advertising for the product of Soleil Tan De Chanel. I received my first Soleil bronzer as a birthday present a few years ago and have found the product to be a kit favourite for myself. Choosing Chanel as a brand for this project I felt it made sense to create a advertisementfor a product that I know and actually like.

The product itself is a gel to powder product that smoothly 
glides on the skin finishing with a cream velvety finish. I found that being more of a cream based 
product the bronzer is better to blend into the skin and more adaptable instead of a powdered bronzer that would be difficult to change. I also found that the more brown sand colour is natural and can be built up much like the layering technique for Mac face and body.
