Developing the shape

my first shoot of the shape the up do was bit high

second shoot i have reduced the volume of the hair at the front

i add more element on the head like veil to covered the face,and more flowers to give the look more shaped

this is my final shoot of the shape, i have tied the veil back of the head, make it looks more neat.

creating the look

• Separate your hair into three sections. Go from ear to ear and separate the front section of your hair. Section this off with a clip or hair tie.

• Take the horizontal middle section, and twist into a bun. Secure with a hair tie and some hair gripsLeave a horizontally sectioned piece of hair beneath the bun.

• Taking small sections (about three inches works best) use your fingers to roll pieces hair backwards towards the bun. Pin the rolls down. Do this with the front section of your hair and the section beneath the bun. Don’t worry about being neat, this look works well with texture.

• When all the sections are pinned back, fashion them to look like one big roll.

• Pull down some delicate tendrils of hair and curl them. I used a conical styling wand to create loose, spiral curls. Add hairspray

final look

Victoria men make up style was that of paleness. Symbolized class and wealth.

Eye makeup and lips are extremely natural, All the makeup products they using are quite poisons, so they are leaking skin care, people are using pastes as moisturizers, and to hide blemishes and scars.

Research of Miss Havisham

Research of Miss Havisham

She is a significant character in the novel Great expectation, she is a wealthy woman, and she lives with her adopted daughter Estella Havisham together.

When she as an adult, she fell in love with a man called Compeyson, but this man not the true love, he only out to swindle her of her riches, on her wedding day he didn’t turn up, he had defrauded her.Miss Havisham she is heartbroken.

From that day on, she never go out from her house, never removing her wedding dress, only wearing one shoe, she even leaving all the wedding cake and breakfast on the table never eaten them, she only allowing few people to see her.

Makes her look likes the “witch of the place”.

She had an eccentric hair style and decaying hairstyle because she never brush and care, she had a veil covered her head.
