My Quentin face chart

My Quentin Design is pretty basic but I think it is very fitting to the series Penny dreadful and also the character profile we have been provided for Quentin. The main challenge I have given myself is that I am actually yet to work on darker skin complexions and my model (Ramie) has a very dark skin tone. This could become a issue as I will have to make sure to mix his exact skin tone so that the  images look authentic and natural whilst also making his skin a smooth coverage. The thought process behind the kiss on the forehead was because in the character profiles we were given it stated that Claudia is very possessive over Quentin and has a strong suspicion he is cheating on her. This design can be interpreted in two ways by the audience, firstly that Claudia has kissed him to make her mark and ensure other women stay away from him. Secondly as Quentin's image essentially changes to Claudia's mood and how she see's him if she thinks he has been cheating on her she may actually invasion him with the kisses of other women still on him when he comes to see her. I am using the same lipstick that I have used in my Claudia images swell so that if the interpretation is that its her kiss it is the same colour.

to make this look all I am using is:
kryolan camouflage concealer pallet 
Illamasqua primer
M.A.C Russian red lipstick 
M.A.C ruby woo lipglass
Carmex 

The process of this look is pretty easy I start by mixing together the necessary concealers with the Illamasqua primer. I then cover the entire face with this blending well. I then use the remanding mixture left and mix in darker tones so it is a shade or two darker and use this to make a very faint contour of the cheek. I then apply a heavy amount of Ruusian red lipstick and ruby woo lip glass and place a kiss on the top right of my models forehead. This is obviously not a professional form of application but for the purpose of this shoot and the fact I know my model very well it is the best way for the desired image.  to finish the look i will apply a small amount of carmex to the lips to make sure they don't look dry in the photos.
