Ideas...

To move my beauty shoot on I want to do more shoots based around the carnival theme, this is to push my makeup ideas further and to create consistency in my portfolio. As I am exploring all aspects of carnival I want the makeup to be bold and exciting. As I have talked about previously I am linking all my shoots together using a few different elements those being; birds of paradise, the flower represents freedom which is linked in with the ideas based around carnivals being a free place where you can be whoever you want to be, to keep the styling similar I am using glitter as a main focus, it is bright, eye-catching and glistens in the light drawing the viewers attention which is what the big costumes aim to do in carnivals. I want my images to represent the beautiful side of carnivals with all the outlandish costumes and big makeup. The image above is just a quick sketch of some makeup ideas I have in my mind before going on to shoot.

My inspiration

Whenever I am planning a shoot I have to say that the first place that I tend to look for ideas and inspiration is Pinterest. This is mainly because there is literally anything and everything on there and when I start here I end up with so much more inspiration as one post leads on to another and so on…

When I decided that I wanted to look at carnivals naturally Pinterest was the first place I looked. On this post I have included all of the inspiration that I found on Pinterest that led me to producing my final collection.

With this image it was the unusual silver head make-up that drew me to it. I love the way the light sparkles off the silver and the jewels, this would link in perfectly with my use of glitter to represent magic
Birds of Paradise
potential face paint?
I love the idea of using glitter on the lips of the model, it would draw the attention to the model’s mouth and make it glitter implying magic and secrecy.
i love the use of the colours on this image, it is actually oil however i think this could be really relevant when looking at colour theory.
