Anthropological re-design three

Design three is an extension of design one with the use of a bald cap introduced. This will make it appear as if the branches are working there way up into the head. For this design the products used are: 

- Dermashield

- Illamasqua Matte Primer

- Kryolan Ultra Foundation 

- Kryolan Dermacolour Camoflague 

- Pritt Stick

- Illamasqua Rich Liquid RF100

- Bald Cap

- Gel 

- Illamasqua Translucent Powder

- Kryolan Supracolour Palette.

- Cotton Pad

- Latex

- Tuplast

Cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin. 

Apply dermashield to the skin to protect from the latex and tuplast used.

Take the eyebrows out by smoothing the hairs down with glue. Make sure all of the hairs are covered and then powder to seal. Apply Illamasqua Rich Liquid and stipple over the brows. Apply the chosen skin colour foundation, blend and powder.

Apply Illamaqua Matte Primer over the face.

Create the base using Kryolan Ultra Foundation and conceal any imperfections using Kryolan Dermacolour Camoflague. 

Powder to seal.

Apply the vines to the face by breaking up cotton pads. Use latex to stick this to the skin. Test the latex on the clients skin before use. Once the latex has dried, cover in tuplast.

Allow to dry and colour with foundation to match the skin tone.

Highlight with Supracolour so that the 3D effect will come off on camera.

To apply the bald cap: 

Cape your client to protect their clothes.

- Brush the hair thoroughly to free of any knots.

- Make sure to not use any pins in the hair as this will be seen through the bald cap.

- Spray the hair thoroughly with water asking the model to close their eyes.

- Use a lot of gel covering all of the hair. Rub the gel through your hands to work through the hair. Thick hair will require a lot of gel.

- If any gel gets on the forehead, remove, as the spirit gum will not stick to this.

- Make sure the roots are well gelled and wet otherwise the cap wont stick.

- Half the hair down the centre.

- Wrap the hair around the head making sure it is smooth and bump free. Take the left section and wrap around to the right. Take the right section and wrap around to the left. Smooth down with more gel.

- Make sure the model is sat straight on and looking forward.

- Get your model to help with the application of the cap. Get the model to hold two finger up each side of the head to help with pulling the cap down straight.

- Do not just cut out the ears. Feel where they are with your own fingers underneath the cap. Make a small cut and place back down, Repeat until you have cut away enough to pull the ear through.

- Do not cut the cap in a straight line. It is easier to blend away with a wriggled cut line.

- Peel the front of the cap back making sure that there are no hairs on the forehead.

- Place spirit gum on the edge line of the folded back cap. Pull the cap back down and stick to the forehead.

- Using a wet sponge, roll around the recently glued cap to press in.

- Cut away the cap around the edges and back and repeat the gluing process by pulling the cap up, gluing the edge, sticking back down and pressing in with a wet sponge.

- Do not pull the material when cutting as you may over stretch it and cut too far. Also never cut the cap before putting on.

The mood board above shows my inspiration for the third design. The lines have inspired me to create branches to represent the boys branching out into manhood which is taken place during the scarification process. The bald cap was introduced so that the branches could be taken around the head and neck, furthering the scarification.
