The document summarizes the makeup and outfit choices for a model portraying an alternative rock artist. For makeup, blemishes were concealed and a smoky dark brown eye and berry lip color were used. Three outfits incorporating dark colors, ripped jeans, and boots were selected to fit the genre's typical grungy, rugged style. The first two outfits featured plaid shirts with black tops and jeans. The third outfit included a black cropped top, pink floral skirt overlaying a plaid pattern, and black boots.
1. MAKE-UP CHOICES
For the make-up on my artist I concealed any blemishes that were obvious as I can always fix the
rest on Photoshop if I need or want to. For the eye make-up I decided to do a dark smoky eye but
I didn't want it to be extremely black or anything because my genre is Alternative Rock rather
than just Rock. So I just used some dark brown shades and a very thin line of eye-liner. For the
lips I chose to use a berry like pink/red colour as it wasn't too bold and it gave a nice hint of
colour to her face rather than leaving the lips nude. Also this colour would go with all the
outfits I chose because it wasn't too bright or bold so it wouldn't clash with anything I chose
for her to wear. For finishing touches, I lightly filled her eyebrows in and used a small amount
of bronzer/contour to accentuate her cheekbones.
2. OUTFIT 1
The first outfit I took photos of Chloe (my model) in, included black, ripped, skinny jeans
which are commonly seen in styles within Alternative Rock and the same goes for this dark
blue and red plaid shirt that I chose to put her in. Instead of having a graphic tee under
the shirt I decided she would wear just a plain black top instead because otherwise I felt
there would’ve been too much going on in the image. This outfit is a typical sort of outfit
you would usually see in Alternative Rock and it if quite dark and grungy which is a theme
often seen in this genre.
3. OUTFIT 2
This outfit is very similar to the first one apart from I changed the plaid shirt she was
wearing to a dark green and blue one instead. I kept her wearing the ripped jeans because
they are a signature item of clothing used in Alternative Rock and go well with the
rest of the outfit. In this picture you can see she is wearing black chunky lace-up boots
that add to the Alternative Rock style I was going for as they aren’t neat or anything and
contribute to the rugged-type style I was going for.
4. OUTFIT 3
For the third outfit I wanted to change Chloe’s look completely. For this outfit I kept the
dark clothes, for example she is wearing a completely black cropped t-shirt and I kept her
wearing the black boots because they even out the balance of a skirt being too ‘pretty’ or
‘elegant’ as her style is meant to be grungy and almost dishevelled looking but still looking
well put together. The skirt I decided to put her in has a pink floral pattern on top but
underneath that there is a red, black and dark blue plaid pattern which is a theme I have
kept in everyone outfit I wanted her to wear.
