When it comes to Miss Havisham, I have a clear view of what I want to do because this is how I imagined her to look like while reading the novel... I would like to emphasise what was made natural both in film and TV series, the visual adaptations of the book.
For example, the fact that she does not leave her house, means she is not exposed to sunlight... This to me immediately suggests pale skin, quite dry as well= Dewy foundation is not an option!
I want to emphasise the eyes. Make them seem sad, tired. With this look I would really want to show every emotion Miss Havisham feels and represents with her character. I think it's very important to include that in the make up especially in film as it adds to the story and the character's background.
The photo on the left shows the kind of look I would want to do- bold make up on very pale skin. However, I still want to keep that element of Miss Havisham there and not make it look like it is a look for a fashion show. I have done a face chart to show my idea inspired by the look above.
The drawing on the right shows my idea for the hair. I would like it to be quite a messy hairstyle as Miss Havisham did not really look after herself very well...
However, I still want it to include Victorian elements such as curls at the bottom. I have only kept them at the bottom because I want it to look like they have dropped as she hasn't done her hair in a very long time...
I feel like this would represent the circumstances of Miss Havisham's situation and represent her as a character well.
I will also add some white spray in some areas of the hair to create an effect of the hair going grey and show that she is getting older and older but still living the past, which was very stressful and heartbreaking. This could very well be represented by grey hair in my opinion.
My second idea for Miss Havisham is a very contoured by still naturally looking. This face chart shows my idea:
I wanted to keep it very simple as Victorians did not pay much attention to make up and it wasn't a sign of anything. The plainer the better. However, I think of Miss Havisham as a very anxious and thin character therefore I think some light contouring is essential. Nothing too visible, but definitely defying because of the need for representation of the character.
On the skin I will put the lightest shade of foundation from the Kryloan foundation palette, just to create that ghostly look but still cover any imperfections. This is because even though Miss Havisham did not take care of herself, I still see her as a beautiful woman that was in love but it wasn't the kind of love she expected.
My next idea for Miss Havisham focuses on the conditions she lives in, what she went through and what kind of a person she is. The make up is quite neutral but still emphasises the circles under the eyes and adds depth to the face. Like I said earlier I imagine Miss Havisham to be quite thin so drawing attention to the cheekbones I think is a great idea.
Below I have inserted a photo to demonstrate the eye more. I would like to include wrinkles around the eye area to symbolise Miss Havisham's age as well as health state. I want them to be visible as I think details like that say a lot about the character and their story and I would really like to represent that through my work.
I have looked on the internet for some wigs, which I thought were suitable for Miss Havisham. The one on the left is appropriate because it is grey and messy as well as curly which represents the Victorian era! The curls aren't neat which would suggests that Miss Havisham couldn't be bothered to do her hair, which is exactly what it was like. The hair is also lots of different shades of grey which I like as it shows that the hair has been slowly turning grey naturally.
The only thing about this wig is that the parting is not in the middle, which might not look right on Miss Havisham as it wouldn't represent the era in the correct way...
The wig on the right I have also found on the internet, and this one I really like because it has the correct parting. However, the hair looks a bit blue but that could easily be changed by dusting some white powder over it or even going through the hair with a bit of white from the #Kryloan supra colour palette!
I like how messy it is and that the hair is long which automatically makes me think = no hair cut for years! This is the kind of effect I am going for and so far this is one of my favourite ideas for the hair!
Another idea for the hair has been inspired by the tradition Victorian hairstyle which was one of the firsts I have ever done.

I decided to make it a lot messier as Miss Havisham did not care about the way she looked in the book and I wanted to represent that with her hair and the make up. I have practised my final look on the model:
