Make-Up!

One of my roles within the making of 'Raven Calls' was make up. To prepare for real thing, I took it upon myself to research some ideas of what we could do to create the desired dead girl effect. We wanted pale, very pale, dark eyes/crevasses and rotting flesh. We started off looking at the porcelain effect so we could see how the pale skin would look along with dark eyes:

 

 

After seeing this we decided we definitely liked the idea of pale skin and we also liked the cracked porcelain which we didn't expect! Knowing this, I looked into more ideas which we primarily based on cracks rather than porcelain dolls. Below is what I found, sticking to the dark eyes and cracks because we already knew we wanted the pale skin so we would put multiple ideas together to create the perfect look for us.

 

 

We liked these ideas, particularly the last photo as this one had pieces missing on the face, not just cracks. This led us to thinking about using liquid latex to have bits of flesh missing rather than just cuts and cracks. We wanted the flesh to be hanging off and showing some blood as this would contrast with the pale white skin and dark black eyes. Below are photos of the finished product, we believe this will be seen from a distance and therefore is the perfect look; not too much but enough to create an eerie effect.
