My first idea was to recreate the scene where Miles dies in front of The Governess. I'd imagine her to be upset, filled with tears. Her mascara application would have been running down the face. To achieve this, I would have used black eye shadow, and softly applied it under her eye, coming down toward the cheeks using my fingers. For the tears, I would have used eye drops. I also wanted the eyes to look quite red as this is what happens when you cry for a long amount of time. In order to achieve this, I would have used blood eye drops available from Kryolan. I also wanted to add white supra colour mixed in with my foundation to give a washed out effect on the face. I didn't want to apply anything on the lips as I want her to look extremely upset and pale.
This was my second idea for The Governess. I wanted to re-create her makeup application on a normal day working at the country home, Bly. I'd imagine her to have barely anything on. I wanted to go for a no brow look. In order to achieve this I'd have to block out the eyebrows using spirit gum and cine wax. I'd then have to go over this with foundation or concealer to make them completely invisible. I also didn't want to apply mascara. Instead, I wanted to apply a beige/bronze shade on the eyelid and fill in the water line with a black pencil liner. For the lips, I thought I'd go for a brown shade. I'm not sure if this was acceptable for my chosen era, therefore I'd have to double check with my tutor.
