Intertextuality

After attempting to try out a Twiggy inspired eye makeup style we have decided to go with a more subtle 50’s makeup style. We dcided not to go with the twiggy eye make-up because Kimberley's attempt was not as successful as we expected it to be as the texture of the makeup wasn’t soft enough which is something that is important to have in our video. In the photos, the make-up looked satisfactory however, in the video would look childish and not of a high quality. Looking at people such as Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe from the film ‘Gentlemen prefer blondes’ we have been able to replicate the makeup in a subtle way so that we can incorporate it into our video without it looking shockingly out of place against the dark colour scheme.
