Creating Estela character

My Estella character from "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens (1861) is going to be in her 20s and married. In the book we read that she is marred to Bentley Drummle, who is Pip's enemy. Drummle is known to be rich but violent. His violent side does not seem to put Estella off, because we see that she still goes ahead and marries him, even after Pip begs her not to.


My Estella character is going to have bruises on her body.

my practice 

Face chart 1

This is my first face chart for Estella. In this chart you can see that she has a bruise on the side of her lip from one of the many fights she gets in with her husband.

I am not sure that this is going to be my final look for Estella but I think that I will make the bruising more discreet like a covered up one on her lip and one on her shoulder and on the side of her nose. 

Face chart 2 

On this face chart I have kept the look very plain a and simple. As you can see she has a smaller bruising on her lip and one on the side of her nose.  With this I want  the bruising to look covered up with make up but yet be visible.

For my final design an going to keep the makeup clean and simple. the face will be pale and pure with jus a hint of pink blusher to make her look youthful. However she will still have bruising on her shoulder and neck.

Since in my Estella female design she will have bruising, i have been researching ways a bruise would look like in the shoulder, and hare is a picture i found on a classic bruising

To create my bruise am going to use yellow, deep pink and  deep pupal. 

How to: 

I fast applied the yellow eyeshadow all over the area i wont as my bruised area. 

Over it apply pupal eyeshadow and the using the pink cover the whole area to make the bruise look as if its healing.
