Ballerina story- creating a characters

 My project consisted of three acts - creating 3 ballerina’s character called White Angel, Black Swan and Primadona. White Angel is a makeup of an innocent ballerina who is just starting out as a dancer. The makeup I chose for this character is a fantastic creation that would look like a clean sheet that would prove delicate and pure. The costume I chose for the white angel was a typical ballet suit, a tutu dress and a white lace body and orange ballet pointe shoes. As for the hairstyle, I made curly hair that strengthened the delicate features of the model's face. I added a white theatrical mask that gave the model a sense of mystery. The background I chose for the photos was natural in flesh and black. The session consisted of a series of faces and hands only. My next character is Black Swan. I saw many different versions of this ballet character. My Black Swan is a typical rebellion, who fights with destiny. Therefore, the makeup I chose was a classic black smoky eye, nude lips with highlighted contours of the face. For the costume, I chose black mesh body and black tutu dress as a sign of rebellion. In this session, I used honeycomb lights to get more dramatic pictures. The hairstyle was meant to remind the swan's head.

My third character is Primadonna. Ballerina, who has gained the star status after life's ups and downs. That's why I determined the classic chignon and makeup that emphasised the beauty of the ballerina. Classic black eyeliner and eye embellished with silver zircon combined by hair in a flower embossed to symbolise romance.
