Week 10 - Intro completed!

22nd March


I have just written my introduction for my book :) Have a read, let me know what you think!


Make-up imagery that is captivating and intriguing is usually something which is out of the ordinary or has not been seen before. The concept of this make-up book was created on the basis of this idea: to create something captivating which intrigues and excites the reader. Many of the make-up books which are on the market seem to fail to open the eye to intense make-up imagery and instead, showcase images of make-up which have been seen before. This too, with the theme of this book.

A gap was seen in the market which related history, art and make-up and how history can be shown through creative mediums, such as make-up. So, it was decided to design and create a book which has been inspired by history and historical characters, taking main elements of these characters and using them to develop make-up plans. The research process for this book has been enjoyable and very fulfilling, it has led to beautiful images inspired by historical stories and art work.   

It has taken me a lot of time and a lot of cutting down to get it down to this and I think it reads well.
