Initial Sally Bowles Face Charts




1. My first look incorporates the typical heavy smokey eye that some of the 1920's women used to wear.  I would keep the shadow quite neutral on the top and heavily line the waterline with a black eye kohl, using lashings of mascara to give voluminous, fluttery lashes. The eye make up would be slightly smudged.  I would keep the skin pale using a rich liquid foundation, lightly contour and apply a light pink blush, to just add a flush of colour to the cheeks.  My main feature for this look would be the lips...I would create a red stained lip rather than using full colour payoff from the lipstick, and I would smudge the lipstick around the mouth, ad if Sally has had her face in her hands crying.

2. The second look I created is more of a typical Sally Bowles look.  I would create a heavy smokey eye using lots of browns, purple and blacks with lots of layers of mascara to create that thick lash look.  I'd keep the face pale again, contouring less than my previous look, the blending wouldn't be perfect as I imagine Sally's make up would of been far from perfect at the time.  The brows would be thin and black in colour.  I would add a red/pink blush that would act as the rouge of the 1920s and would finish the look with a deep red lip.  To keep the insecure and emotional theme of my Sally, I would add tears running down the face using a tear stick, this would also leave water marks in the foundation.

3.  My last look, is the look that shows Sally's sadness the most.  Her skin would be pale in colour, the foundation applied far from perfectly.  The face would be slightly contoured with a baby pink blush, just to add a little bit of colour to the face, not her usual reddy/ pink bright cheek as she wouldn't of made much effort here.  The eyeshadow would be neutral consisting of a neutral matte shade and a soft brown to give some definition, with a little bit of eye kohl on the upper lash line and water line.  She would be wearing very minimal mascara, in fact all the mascara she had been wearing previously would be all smudged around her eyes.  Sally would still be wearing her statement red lip however, it just wouldn't be applied as perfectly as usual.
