Kit Kat girl designs


 I made this face chart using the colour still that were used in the 1930's but a lot bolder and stonger.

 After testing out this design, i really didn't like it, i wanted it to be done in aqua colour so it was bolder, but i felt the shape and colour made it look more like face paint at a kids party, and it looked quite butterfly like.




After testing out my designs, i choose to use this one as i felt like it was the most how i see club culture and would suit my character best. I also feel it would suit my hair style better as i feel my hair also gives off a slight punky vibe. I have chosen to use the blue eye shadow colour as this is my contemporary 1920's look i have taken inspiration from the colours used historically within the era, contrasting this to the bright purple lip moves the design into a contemporary setting and conveys my club culture influence from my previous research particularly when watching Party Monsters were the lip colours stood out to me.

I further feel colour symbolism in my design is key i decided to use purple on the lips because the colour symbolism as purple symbolises change and that something is going to happen i feel this relates to both cabaret and club kids as the era was short the people of both Weimar Berlin and club culture live for the moment and this colour symbolises this element knowing change will happen but living for now. I further found this image of the theatre production cabaret featuring allan cummings it explores this idea as the lighting to me is reminiscent of club lighting and inspired the colour within my final design.

Also the placement of the eyeshadow is because at 20's eye they would use a darker colour into the crease of the eye, so thats why i choose that placement for this design.




I want the hair to have a finger wave at the front, then into two buns either side, to give it a more contemporary feel. I also want to add different colour chalks through out the hair. I will also leave the hair in a middle parting instead of a side parting like they did in the 1920's.
