Make-Up and Outfit Ideas

Styling and what the artist is wearing is very important when making a music video. It's one of the first things you see on the artist, and you want this to be instantly recognisable, so if you see something it will remind you of that artist. In my music video, the Make Up is the main focus and not the clothes, because there aren't too many long or medium shots, but I am still going to research and also make sure I know what styling I could use if I do in the end decide to add in some shots late notice or if I change my mind and do need long or medium shots in the video.

I really like this look for my music video, I like the bright lipstick and also the clothes that Taylor Momsen is wearing. I think the look works really well and goes with the Genre I am doing. The black leather jacket is more of a Rock theme but I think that mixing it with the hot pink skirt makes it more any Genre. The lipstick will look great for the close up shots of the lips, and the rest of the outfit will look really good for dancing scenes. I need to find the right person who will suit this look, and who also has this effect to their hair. I don't want my artist to look too done up, I want them to look quite casual, and clothes that normal people would wear and not clothes that just celebrities would wear, this is because the target audience would be a young age and I wouldn't want it to be too explicit because of the age of the audience. Although I want my music video to be colourful, I don't want too many colours on the artists outfit as the colours will be seen in other parts of the video (e.g graphics) and not just on what the artist is wearing. Again this is just an idea, but I still really like this look and if I don't use all aspects of it, I will use most because I think it suits the song well. 

I also really like this look too. Again this is using that same time of outfit, where there is one main focus of a colour, and the rest of the outfit is black. I think that this really stands out. I also think that the make up is good, its quite a natural look, but it still has the potential to make the artist look good, the lips again are matching the shirt and are very bright which is what I need in my music video is bright lips. The hair is something that I would change, I want my artist to have quite long hair, this is because it's whats in style at the moment and also will look better on scenes in the video, for example when dancing, it would look better to have long flowing hair rather than short and boring. Also this is yet another outfit that the audience could copy and it's not too much of what a celebrity would wear but its not too simple for something they wouldn't wear at all. I overall like this look and hope to get a look like this for my music video.

There is many types of Make Up that I could have for my music video, and I am still deciding on which one to use. Here are some examples of Eye Make Up that I might use in the video.

This is another eye make up that I think looks really good and stands out, I think the blue makes the rest of the eye stand out and also there is lots of lashes, and this makes them bold. The eyebrows also are very bold so this will look really good on camera. This will be good for my extreme close up again and the audience can easily copy this look.

This eye make up is very bold with the eyelashes and also the eyeliner. The reason I like this look and considering it for my music video is because I think it stands out, and also on my storyboard, the idea is to start filming an extreme close up of the eyes, so they can't just be boring and plain, they have to stand out.

I also like this eye Make Up, the reason is because the wing really makes up the eye and I also like the yellow glitter on the eye line. This will look really good and stand out on the music video on the shot of the eyes going down to the lips. I think a bright coloured lipstick would work well

This eye make up is the most colourful, I think that this would work extremely well with my music video and the colours would match the theme really well. I want to use something very similar to this in my own music video. I think It would be hard to find a lipstick that would match though.

The reason I have chosen Katy Perry's make up is because she is known for having very colourful make up, and I want my artist to be known for their extravagant look. I am also going to research what lip make up she uses this is because the lips are a main part of my music video. So I need to see what stands out and what looks good, so I'm sticking with Katy Perry.

This lipstick is very natural, it doesn't really stand out, but I still think that in my own music video it could still work, this is because I still want my person to be seen as natural. I also think that if someone has big lips it can still work and look good on camera.

I also like this lip colour, it's bright and fun and that's what the song and music video will be about. I also have an idea of painting my artists face green around the mouth area, and the green paint will act as a green screen, then the image on screen would just be moving lips and I think this colour would work well with that idea.
