Kate Benton-PAM

On the 23rd January, Kate Benton, a founder of PAM came into the university to give us a tutorial. This was a great experience, as she herself works in the industry of makeup for screen and television, so her advice would be very useful for Great Expectations. I volunteered to be the model, and Kate decided to do the Miss Havisham look on me, here are some images;

Kate showed us how to place wigs correctly, how to fix them to the head; Even to overcome  bad situations where the actor/actress has no hair, how a wig can still be stuck down to the head, without moving. She really surprised me when she used the spring from a pen to do this, and it showed how everyday practical things can be more useful than you think. Also, how an old stocking or pair of tights are great ways to cover the natural hair before wig placement.

On my face, Kate then placed spirit gum, to create a more wrinkled effect, however as i have young skin, they couldn't form as well as they could on an older model, this is why finding the right model is extremely important; to be able to emphasise everything to the highest possibility. She also drew some small purply veins to stress my age. These would both be great effects to take into consideration when creating my final image. 
Here are some photos-
