Inspiration for this shoot is based on the state of mind immediately before falling asleep where the mind is falling into the unconscious state that contains all sorts of disturbing material that the conscious mind keeps out of awareness because they are to threatening to acknowledge fully. I wanted to create a beauty look something quite simple to show this effect in an uncomplicated way showing the selfs thoughts changing falling away opening up that space for the unconscious to take control.
I planned to wet the hair and layer it over the face and create a dark lined brow that makes the featured of my models face look dark and confusing, keeping the rest of the make up very natural leaving all concentration on the hair and brows that are the two features that can be played and messed up in state of unawareness and sleep.
The shoot went really well I am really pleased with the outcome of the final images, I do feel they have a very different feel to the rest of my imagery and am wondering how they will fit into my book. My favourite image is the first one I love the angle of my models face you can really see the eyebrows even though the hair is covering the face. I hope I am able to fit the images into my book as they do indicate a stage of unconscious mind leading to a dream like state and have a dark feel about them incorporating my skill of make-up and hair design.
