Estella Quote Inspiration

Part of this project will see me creating an Estella make up and hair look. Before I created my design I wanted to look at and find different descriptions of her so I could capture her look and character the best. For this look I will be creating it in the style of the Victorian era, which means I will have to draw on the knowledge of the era that I have already gained through previous research. I have decided to focus on the beginning of the book when Estella is her youngest, in this part of the book Estella is described as being, 'beautiful and self-possessed'. Throughout the book Estella's beauty is a large theme therefore my design will have her looking fresh, young and pretty. When Miss Havisham asks Pip what he thinks of Estella he says, "I think she is very pretty". This also makes me want to create a design that is attractive. In the Victorian era the make up was very minimal and it was almost frowned upon to wear it, and furthermore in this part of the book Estella is very young so she would not wear very much make up. These quotes helped me and made me think about as well as giving me inspiration for the make up and hair designs that I wanted to create. I am looking forward to this assessment as it will be nice to create a look purely to be beautiful.
