Evaluation of Estella

Choosing a period in Estella’s life with which to work with was a tough decision as I feel she changes so much as a character and in her appearance. However, I was particularly drawn to her characteristics post-marriage and explored her new personality traits through hair and makeup. I wanted to create a look that represented sophistication and class but also softness and kindness. Though I feel she’d changed, I wanted to maintain that superior motive she’s always had through an up styled hairdo and subtle, rosy toned makeup. Because Estella was shot in black and white, I got to play with stronger colours to give a variety of tone in the final image.  I am pleased with the outcome of my Estella look. The hair was a particular turning point for me as I felt I’d achieved a style I wouldn’t have been able to do so without the guidance and assistance from teachers.
