I think that this photo of Rach as Twiggy is a true tribute to the work we put into these photos. Twiggy has extremely unique facial features which turned out to be a lot more difficult to mimic than we thought. Luckily Rachel was a good sport and let us really pound the makeup on. I used a lot of highlighting and contouring techniques to give Rach the Twiggy cheekbones. We also did a lot of work with filling in her brows to get the perfect Twiggy arch, and I think they look pretty darn close. Her mouth took a lot of reshaping too with lipliner to give her the Twiggy pout. He slicked side pony was pretty straightforward although it required a lot of gel.
I really like how we reversed the colours (Rachel's background is black and her sweater is lighter). We had to do a lot of work with lighting in these photos, especially in this one. We used the techniques we learned at the beginning of the year and had Rachel hold a white corrugated board to reflect the lighting onto her face.
Zoe polished everything off with her amazing photoshop work. She perfected the lighting which definitely enhanced Rachel's face shape and made her look even more like Twiggy. She enhanced the shape of Rachel's eyes to make them more doe-like, and gave her even more of a Twiggy pout. Zoe also really came through on all the costumes. This thrift shop sweater she found looks so much like the one in the photo!
