Finishing touches - Editorial Look



I decided on the hair colour for my Editorial look, Instead of opting for the traditional black hair that an Inuit/Eskimo would have naturally I decided to go to the opposite end of the spectrum and went for a light blond wig. I chose to do this because I felt that 1, it would give the look a much more contemporary edge and 2, it will add to the snow and ice theme/colour palette of the look.


I went for a wig that didn't have a particular style to it, I want it to be quite natural so that I could style it myself.

I've added beads to the hair to represent the icicles, I've decided against using the sugar however because it wasn't very visible against the light colour of the hair.




finishing touches - Catwalk look


I'm going to add some small red beads to the chin along side the thin red tattoo lines, I think this will give the look more depth and texture. It also relates to scarification and the concept of attaching things to the skin or scarring the skin to make it rise and bubble up. I'm going to add a little brown around the eyes to pull it all together. With the hair I want it to just be off the face and quite "fluffy" and "furry" like an animals.
