Agnes' Father's Makeup For Day Four Of Filming


To begin this look, I applied a pale concealer in Jack's T-zone area. This was in order to create a base for the makeup and to give the illusion of a washed-out, pale completion as we were trying to portray him as a severe drug addict; I applied a white pressed powder all over Jack's face and neck to add to this effect afterwards.

I then used several dark brown shades of powder to contour Jack's face, applying this to his jaw line, cheekbones, temples and the sides of his nose in order to create the illusion of a slimmer face which adds to the persona of his character- a severe drug addict- as the stereotype the audience would expect from this type of character would be to appear very frail and skinny.

Next, I applied a mixture of warm brown tones in various areas of Jack's face, (such as around his eye area to give the illusion of 'crows-feet') in order to make him appear aged as his character was supposed to be aged between 40-50. Also, the ageing shown on Jacks face (such as the wrinkles on his forehead) could be believed to be a side effect of his dangerous drug habit.

To give the illusion of dark under-eye circles, I firstly applied a red substance under Jack's eyes which connotes danger and mirrors his villainous character, then slowly built up the look using several brown shades and then blended them together making sure there were no harsh lines. I gave him dark under-eye circles to simply make him appear haggard because of his unhealthy, distributive lifestyle and to have an overall frightful appearance as he is one of the two antagonists.

I applied a white powder onto Jack's lips to completely overrule the natural pink-ness of them as this disrupted the overall washed-out and ill look I was trying to create for him; I then asked him to tightly purse his lips as I used a deep shade of brown to fill in the creases in them which, when relaxed, gave the illusion of them being dry, chapped and cracked. 

To finish of the look, I used a deep grey powder to create the illusion of a large bruise on the right side of his head which inflicts fear on the audience as it suggests something threatening about his character since it makes him look like a 'thug'; a clear goal when making him appear as an antagonist who murders his own daughter.
