Make Up for Runway

Face Chart for Runway Look for Females

The base of this look, for both males and females, would be very plain to keep the red, black and white looking bold on the runway. The eyes and lips will be free of colour, only prepped with the base to keep them muted.

I want the red areas of the face chart to look as though painted on to the skin with natural elements. To do this, I tested layering streaks of aqua colours, adding highlights of lighter shades over it.

Although I think this look would look good on all models, to keep them looking individual, the red could be changed to a variety of earthy tones, and the placement of the streaks can be moved around the face. I.e: for fairer skin, a deep orange could be used instead of the red. Or for a fuller face, the streaks could be moved to the hollows of the cheeks to create added contour.

Hair Designs for Females - Changes depending on natural hair type

To keep the 'tribal' aspect of the hair, I want to keep it looking 'natural', as though it had been untampered with. To do this, the hairstyle for women would change depending on their natural hair type. As seen in these sketches and annotations, I have designed four key looks, which would work for almost all demographics of womens hair. 

The hair stylists behind the scenes, would work to these four designs for all the models, using their natural hair colour.

Notes on the Body Art for Models - Same for both male and female

 For the body, I have modified the body painting I did for the scarification. Using streaks or blocks of black, red or the base colour of choice used for the streaks on their face, the Make Up Artist would create individual patterns on each model.
The placement and shape of the blocks painted on to the body would vary, based on the model's wardrobe for the show, body type and hair style chosen for them.
The streaks would be drawn in a similar way to those on the face, to have the effect of a dry, streaky paint on the skin.
The design overlaid on these will be the same collection of scores on the skin, and stripes between them. The colour is down to the artist, again, the choice of white, black or the red tone used.
