Updates and Thoughts

Short project description

An exploration of how different people feel about makeup and how makeup makes them feel about themselves when a look is designed for them.

A project title is coming before Tuesday I promise!

Proposal update has been moved to Coral's thesis page (link at upper right)

I want to gather a variety of people; those who wear makeup often or never, all genders, etc. and ask them some questions about their interaction with makeup and who they are. I really want to hear their stories too because I think everyone has a 'story' about makeup. I can create a look from this information and apply it, documenting the process (photos, video). I really want the focus to be the reactions, emotions, and how people feel about the process and themselves from before to the finished look.

Possible makeup interview questions

How often do you wear makeup?
Why do/don’t you wear it?
When did you start and why?
Any occasions?
Are there any looks or trends you’ve been seeing that you do or don’t like?
What are three words that you would use to describe your personality?
How would you describe your personal style?
Do you have any stories about makeup? Funny, life-changing, horror... (something like this may just come up anyway like it has been in class)

bonus because it made me laugh
A video I really like about a girls's funny story about makeup changing in the last 10 years... Tweens are too pretty

  1. thanks Coral!
    I'll move this to your seminar "page" — accessible at upper right menu — soon.

    one thought — rather than applying makeup to actual "human subjects" — with the practical and insurance issues that raises — maybe work with the makeup sketch pages?

    panelists may have ideas about this, too.
