Drafting and Planning: Look of my artist

It is important to create my model into my desired artist correctly. This means she must look like shes fits in the genre of music I am going for. She must also match the ethos of my magazine. To do this I must use mise-en-scene to create a style for my artist.



Makeup: The way female artists look in pop music is important. Music artists often set the current trends, so girls often often recreate what they see there favorite artists wearing. Some artists makeup is completely wacky, where others is understated. The non make up look is also very popular within music, to create a natural feel. 

Pop artists tend to be seen wearing brightly coloured makeup, especially lipstick, nails and eye shadow. In the image above, the stereotypical red lipstick being worn, this is associated with young females. However different colours like blue or green are also been seen as on trend recently. Makeup lets us know a lot about an artist. Having my artist wear makeup that complements my colour scheme will create a better flow. 

I want my artist to wear make up but it is important that it looks natural and doesn't create a fake look on my model. I want her lipstick to be the stand out feature along with her eyes. I hope this can be done by highlighting her eyes with glitter and eyeliner and using bright coloured lipstick - not sure of the colour yet but possibly pink to match my colour scheme. I want her to look understated and classy to be a good role model to my readers. It is also important that I define her unique features. 

Hair: The way a women has her hair styled can tell a lot about her just as makeup can. Whether it is up or down, it can express a lot.

Artists are often changing the colour, style and cut of their hair. Its changes with the times and their personality. Some artists decide to stick to more traditional hair colours while others chose to go with less mainstream colours, like fire red, pink, yellow and blue just to name a few. Whether brown, black or hot pink hair is important in creating a successful artist. 

My artist will have dark brown hair which is the most common colour. My model has long hair which I want to make a focus. I want her to look traditional so her long brown hair will create this feel. I am hoping to add curls into her slightly to add to volume and fun.
