Overview of final look (Including hair and makeup research)

My final design will be a prosthetic nose and mouth piece in the shape of a fox. As this look will be fashion based I have taken inspiration from Jean Paul Gaultier's Autumn/ Winter collection 2008/2009 and Yago Partals Zoo portraits. The prosthetic piece will be painted using rubber mask grease paints to match the correct tone of a fox's nose and mouth area and will be blended to the colour of the models skin. Using the trend Hunter Gatherer as an inspiration, the outfit and accessories used will reflect this topic.


When choosing a model, it was important to look for someone with the correct hair, facial features and eye colour to suit the design. Knowing that the eye makeup would include browns and neutral colours, I chose someone with hazel coloured eyes. Image one is a colour chart showing the shadows which work well with hazel coloured eyes and image two is a colour chart which shows neutral shadows which work well with all colour eyes:

 It is important for this look to have bold striking eyes which is why eye contacts will be used and the makeup design will be created to have focus on the eyes. Image three shows the type of design I plan to use.

When focussing on the hair style for the look it is crucial to capture the elements of a wolf but also look into using a high fashion style. Image four and five are two styles which have caught my attention which could suit the overall style.
