Costume/Makeup Design

Today we focused on costume and make up design. Because we have chosen a song from the 60's, we wanted our actors to replicate the 'typical 60's look'. We researched into the era in order to understand how the women dressed which then allowed us to add a contemporary twist. We noticed that shift dresses were common during the 60's however we feel that going for a more glamorous look and opting for floor length dresses would work better with the genre of music we have chosen.






















The make-up and hair would typically be very bold and glamorous therefore we found pictures of different hair and make up styles and then Megan sketched how we would like the actors to look in the music video. Because we are taking an older song and making it more contemporary, we decided to keep the eye make up bold and the lips a pale/nude colour. This would of been how women would of looked in the 60's however we noticed the importance of the eyes and making sure they stand out.
