Sixties Make-up Research

Here are a few of the images I found through research that most inspired me, out of the hundreds that are available. The research of this era of make-up will help me make my Gothic look more authentic and era-appropriate.

Further research has enabled me to see more of a "high fashion" side to the Sixties style, rather than the toned-down every day make-up I have described in the analysis' of the Sixties horror movies. This is important as I want my model to be glamorous  as I feel this will make the gore and horror aspect a lot more shocking with such a contrast.

I wanted to research more contemporary versions of sixties make-up to see what was possible, because its important to me to keep in mind that this will be an editorial shoot and that means thinking outside of the box. Here are some of my favourite inspirational images of contemporary sixties make-up:

 

The enhancement of the socket is the main thing that I want to play with after evaluating all these images. The original images have shown me the REAL make-up that was the trend in the sixties, and the contemporary images have shown me what's possible and where you can play while still making the look appear authentic. and I am now able to go away and design some face charts.
