Rihanna - Sledgehammer
I have chosen to look at this video of Rihanna because her hair and makeup is inspiring to me, what first caught my attention was her blocked out eyebrows. The song is for a new star trek film coming out soon, so the makeup and hair styles was made to look a bit alien."Sigismondi said she worked closely with the makeup artist to come up with the right look for Rihanna. “We wanted to really give her her own character. It’s about creating something ancient, almost otherworldly,” she said"

I am also reading 'Dune,' a book by Frank Herbert that is a bit 'out of this world.' From what I have read so far it is describing other planets and different species of people-non humans. Rihanna's makeup and hair makes me think of the characters in this book as she looks as though she could be a different species or race of human. The makeup design although simple, has a huge effect on the music video as it helps to tell the story behind the song.
Ideas for makeup and hair inspired by 'Sledgehammer':
- long hair at the back, tied into small buns at the top
- different facial patterns thick lines and dark eyes
- smaller lines on the face using aqua colour black
- dark lips and blocked out eye brows
- light lips and darker eye brows but dark eyes, smudged with black super-colour
- henna style tattoo art over hands and face
- plaited haas on one side and backcombed but smoothed over to one side
Beyonce - Lemonade

Although this is a film to express her emotions regarding her relationship, it was also a fashion statement: there was a lot of Gucci, vintage Alexander McQueen and Jean Paul Gaultier, but the stylist who has worked closely with Beyonce from 07, made sure to mix in some high street fashion; Senofonte did this on "7/11" when she paired Forever 21 leggings under a Givenchy sweatshirt.

There was a lot of African print and gold. Royal, regal African images. There was a lot of white, antebellum vibes and hats and collars, vintage Gaultier and McQueen. This is from the designer and Beyonce thinking about being on plantations at the time of her ancestors and what they would have worn. At the time, there was slavery, so it wasn't about that. It was about looking at beautiful women that had come from Africa and accentuating it's beautiful culture and beautiful people.

The Kray twins-movie
https://youtu.be/ey7S4hko_Mc
The original Kray twins
The Kray twins reinvented in film 'Legend' played by Tom Hardy
-Fashion photographer David Bailey famously photographed the London gangsters in a 'Box of Pin Ups' published in 1965.
Ruthless gangsters, the Krays became very well known in east end London as criminals during the 50's and 60's. Their story has recently become a film starring actor Tom Hardy who plays both characters. It was an entertaining film that showed the twins careless humour and psychotic madness. I have chosen to look at this film because the makeup and hair impressed me, as the artist was able to bring the characters to life again. The makeup crew was massive for this film (seen below), but that doesn't include the art crew, for costume, props etc.
This movie has inspired me because I want to be a part of creating movies such as these, to bring the characters to life using impressive makeup and hair skills. Although Tom Hardy is a big man and in some ways already resembles the Kray twins, his features are more pronounced and in this film they are less noticeable. He also slightly bulked up for this film so he could be even more similar to the twins. It is also impressive that during the film, I can see he is playing both characters, but due to the slight differences in makeup and hair design, the characters are distinguishable which makes the film more enjoyable and easy to follow. Tom is also an amazing actor and was able to become the twins, from research about them he copied their ways of life and facial expressions.

The Revenant
http://metro.co.uk/2016/01/21/this-is-how-they-created-leonardo-dicaprios-bear-wounds-on-the-revenant-and-it-took-5-hours-a-day-5636520, 08.07.2016

| In the film, The Revenant Leonardo DiCaprio comes face to face with a bear, and it doesn’t end well. It was make-up artist Duncan Jarman and his team, from Watford, who were responsible for portraying what that ended up looking like. DiCaprio had to have a full body cast so the makeup team could design the scars and open wounds to fit exactly in the right place everyday, and everyday he would undergo 5 hours in makeup being fitted with the prosthetic! The make-up team were given the brief by director Alejandro Iñárritu that these wounds had to bleed and be stitched up within one scene, thinking about this myself, it is astonishing how they come up with the prosthetics plan, to make a wound as lifelike as this amazes me. To give the effect of scabbing wounds, fake blood was mixed with linseed, sunflower and crushed almonds, (according to the Mail Online) and wig lace was ‘inserted into the wound’ so it could be stitched back together in a scene where one of Hugo’s friends attempts to close the wound with needle and thread. |
Mad Max

An apocalyptic story set on earth, in a desert landscape where humanity is broken, and almost everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There's Max, (Tom Hardy) a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos. And Furiosa, a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland.
This film is one that caught my attention, not for the story line but for the costume and makeup, each character is set in the scene so s dirty and sweaty, hair a mess, smudges eyes and darkened skin from sun exposure. I plan to create an inspired makeup look based on this film, the story line and the makeup of other charters, I want o create another hater to fit in with the rouge rebels.
Ideas for makeup and hair look:
- dark smudges eyes, creating a mask shape around the eyes and top half of the face
- fullers earth dry and mixed with water for a dirty appearance
- cuts using collodium, coloured with red/purple pencil and blended with dry blood
- shaded eyes and contoured face with dirt, dried blood and cracked lips, dry skin
- rock style plaits in either side of the hair, creating a small mohican in the middle
- plaits on one side of the hair and backcombed on the other side for a messy look
- short hair plaited at the back up toward parting, backcombed and brushed out awards the ends
- beads and string used to keep hair out of the face and for retro decoration
- dirt and blood in the hair, backcombed in
