Specific planning- hair, make-up and costume

In previous posts I discussed the make-up, costume and hair styles I would consider re-creating on my model. Now I have a certain decision of exactly what I am using and how I will do it.



The outfits

The two outfits I have chosen are my own clothes, I gave my model the choice of a few different things which represented my theme and genre. The reason I did this was to ensure that my model felt comfortable in what she was wearing. The dress on the right is one of the two things that my model has chosen. I will use the photograph of her wearing this on my front cover, as it is colourful and eye-catching.
The style of the dress and collar really captures a sixties style which is what I am trying to re-create in my photoshoot.



The second outfit is a cassic Fred Perry polo shirt with a Houndstooth check pencil skirt. This outfit wil feature on the contents and double page spread of my magazine, to give two different looks which is relaxed and slightly more dressed. Again these are my outfits which will save me money on buying/hiring clothes and I also don't have to worry about accessability.




The make-up

The make-up I have chosen is going to be based on Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton. The eyeliner will be thin, with a dark eye crease and nude lips with a pale foundation base. I will use all of my own make-up to get this look, and will also buy false eyelashes to make the eyes stand out and look more effective on camera.

 The hairstyle

Finally, the hairstyle I have chosen will be a beehive as it represents the 60's theme perfectly, being one of the popular hairstyles of that era. To achieve this look, I will need to backcomb the hair, use lots of hairspray and grips to make sure it keeps in place and will stay perfect and neat through the photoshoot. Here is an example; The Ronettes sporting their famous beehives.
