Face Charts, Shoot Three

The final image that I am going to shoot is representative of the scene where Myrtle gets hit by a car, and dies. I have researched how to make death look fashionable which is what I intend to do. I need to create the look of Gothic makeup and styling again, in order to show a contemporary version of my character and show the signs of death and torture. The idea for the makeup is based on that, alongside the general idea of her looking pale, heart broken, weak and making the viewer feel emotion towards her.

^ These two face charts above show the face of Myrtle as shes laying in the road dead. The face is plain and simple, showing no means for appearance. However, I have chosen to have red lipstick, which is Myrtle's signature thing for me, in order to represent death. Most people would consider death to be represented with black, but I want to represent the colour of blood. Since this is a fashion image, I cant cover the model in blood because it will look too theatrical. Therefore, using red lips is there to represent blood and through image analysis I hope people will understand this.
