Character

For my assessment this week I have to create a makeup look for a fairy-tale character in a new film. The classic fairy tale has been adapted and recreated in a new blockbuster film. 

The fairy tale that I chose was The Little Mermaid. But the adaptation is realistic and deals with more adult themes, such as change, depression, self worth, and traditional beauty. I have chosen the the main character 'Ariel' to recreate. And have decided to focus on that fact that she is a sea-creature who lives and breathes under water, highlighting the realistic features of scales and gills. I have also decided to focus on the characters traits of being vain and obsessed with her looks, thus including defined cheeks, lips and the inclusion of shimmer. 

Here is the originale Hans Christian Andersen fairytale:

Here is the tailer for the Disney cartoon of the little mermaid:

Here are a range of images to assist in the development of my look:
