The week before the performance we had to try on our costumes and also test out our make up which was nerve racking but also exciting. each main character was assigned make up artists who had spent weeks researching and designing our make-up. They had spent time creating mood boards to decide on which colours to use based on a small amount of information on what the director wanted.
My make up was made up of a fairly yellow base layer, dark eyes and cheeks to make us look drained. we also had round red cheeks to match the tweedle's in wonderland so you could see a similarity between our characters. Our costumes were fairly basic as we were reality characters stuck in a mental hospital. we wore hospital gowns with black leggings or shorts and hats attached to Alice bands with question marks painted on the front.
all in all I thought all of the characters make up looked fantastic ! it really brought it all together especially after the weeks of rehearsing. I also think the costumes worked well as they helped to set the scene.
