Make up props and costume: Adele inspiration

My main inspiration point for the make up and costume is Adele .As she is the artist i believe she should be the main influence as the song is a reflection of her own life and experiences and she is the author and the performer of this , i believe this could well be presented in her own personal style and would also add a classy touch and atmospheric look to out video. Her hair style is very simple and casual yet suitable for any occasion.Th fringe and fond hair is very flattering and face framing .Even though she manages to make her eyes stand out in many other ways ,the close drop of the fringe big more attention to the eyes , witch is the focus point of most emotions , and as she is a very emotional expressive artist this is a beneficial feature .We will stylise our Actress in this same way to strive to achieve this very same look, however we are inspired by a different colour palette for the hair colour , even though her hair is a caramel colour , we think a better representation of emotion in this song is black, as black represents loss ,fighting and the emotional war this song represents . Another technique to emphasise the eyes (as we believe this was our artist's beautician's goal )that we will use is heavy eye liner ,as you can see she uses above .As you can see Adele's skin tone is quite fair , but the reason why we will use light make up is to emphasise the emotion and as far as stereotypes follow colourless face represents sadness and sorrow ."pale with grief " is one of the many phrases used to connect skin tone with emotions.
Last yet not least , the finishing touch to the make up i will be using is one of Adele's most known trademarks along with the colour black is , long , bold and statement making , fake eyelashes .
as when it comes to wardrobe , Adele is very subtle and classy , nothing too elaborate or flashy.she is very concealed and appropriately dressed unlike most pop stars these days . Even though she possesses all these qualities she still dresses femininely and seems to like her dresses and frocks .her glamourous yet vintage way of dressing pay quite close references to 50's and 60's dramatic diva looks . Black being her primary base colour at all times topped off with a subtle touch of colour giving her that little bit of an edge and courteously structured simple glamour .This is the type of effect i will be trying to recreate in our video , however the colour we are going to use with the black is more symbolic to the song as it represents what she is singing about and this is love . The colour the we will be using is red, not a colour often seen wearing but its yet most appropriate for said lyrics .

As she only wheres a touch of colour each time we have decided on strong and bold colours .One particular colour will will use and emphasise the story line is red as it symbolises love . And as black will be accompanying this colour , black being a symbol of death , the overall meaning would suggest dead or dyeing love that they have for each other .Red is also i symbol of power , witch is also handy as she is the character with the power in this video as she is ending it "time to say goodbye to turning tables ".
