FINAL MISS HAVISHAM LOOK + Characterization

This is my final face chart for my Miss Havisham character. Ive adapted from my 3rd initial design idea and practice. 
The most noticeable aspect I've changed is the removal of the dried skin/scratched effect on the forehead which i always felt never really looked right when i tried it and often overpowered other features.
Ive decided that the purpose of this interpretation of Miss Havisham is most suited to that of a stage play, I feel that due to my quite realistic approach, focusing on elements of self neglect, that this look is most appropriate to the media as I imagine interpretations for film and tv to be somewhat more glamorised. 
The rest of the design has greatly stayed the same. Ive intensified the contouring on the cheeks and forehead to further the 'skeletal' and malnourished effect I've been aiming for to and maintained the chapped lip effect to emphasise my angle of 'self neglect'

Moving forward now I need to consider incorporating my idea for hair design to coincide with the make up to create a overall look. I will also be taking in to consideration other factors such as costume to further my characterisation. 
I want to work to really capture the essence of Miss Havisham, therefore I want to go 'the whole nine yards' and have my model dressed appropriately which means sourcing a costume.
In the book Miss Havisham is described to be wearing a bridal gown and veil, which have over the years become discoloured. 
“I saw that everything within my view which ought to be white, had been white long ago, and had lost its lustre, and was faded and yellow”

Therefore I decided to dress my model is a wedding gown and veil, which i would then manipulate to look faded and yellowed to further emphasise Miss Havisham's 'self neglectful' state. 

I managed to find a very simple wedding gown costume in the local fancy dress shop, i thought this would be perfect because although its not the most well made garment in the world I would only need it for a head and shoulder shot. I then go to thinking about how i would go about 'tainting' the dress to make it look more disheveled.

I ended up using a mixture of tea bags and fine pepper. I brewed some tea in a jug and then used the tea bag to soak areas of the dress to discolour them. I found this method to be quite useful as i gave the garment a nice yellow tinge which I think works well.
