Because I wanted to get a better idea of what makeup to use for this assesment, I met with my model to do a small practise. I also ran my generic fitting nose mould again in gelatin and the edges came out really well and as I sculpted it to look like my portrait , I thought I could try it on my model to see if the shape looked right, if i'd put the bump in the right place, etc. After applying it with prosaide, it actually fit him quite well, but more importantly, I think the shape is accurate for the portrait. I took a photo of Alex in the same angle of the portrait, and I think the bump in the bridge lines up well with the eye, so I know how to sculpt it well for my closed mould prosthetic. Having decided that the markings under the chin area are infact a double chin, I planned to experiment with my greasepaint palette to recreate a similar effect. However my model is doing a play at the moment in which he is required to have facial hair. He will be able to shave it all in time for the summative but not the formative. This meant I couldn't practise the chin, but I applied foundation with a mixture of greasepaint to create the eye bags and nasolabial folds which I think worked really well. I also blended some pinker tones onto the right hand side, as the painting has many shade and tones on the darker side of his face. I think the foundation really matches the shade in the portrait and I feel confident in painting my model. The prosthetics in my assesments will hopefully both be silicone and have neater edges but i'm sure using foundation over them will work effectively.
