In our actual thriller, we are choosing to take makeup inspiration from Disney villains. Even though our target audience is older now and are no longer frightened by these characters, dramatising and adding a more realistic edge to their looks will build on a fear they had when they were very young. Furthering this idea, the cosmetics company MAC have brought out a makeup range dedicated to Disney Villains, so we will also analyse this with regard to the look we'd like in our film.
These Lipsticks are from the Evil Queen collection. Both are based on the colour red although one is bright and the other more of a burgundy. Red would be a good choice for lipstick for the main character in our film as there are so many different shades which give off different impressions. The Colour red also has connotations with danger, so when the audience sees the lipstick they will associate it with evil, either conciously or subconciously.
The two 'Dr Facilier' eyeliners on the left are very dark, and would be useful to create a creepy 'tired' look. Inspiration for this would be The Joker from batman. The dark rings around his eyes have become a trademark since their appearance in The Dark Knight. If we did use this idea it would obviously be a more toned-down version, perhaps the main character could have mascara and eyeliner smudged round her eyes when she's in the bath. 
Lipgloss is really useful when trying to create the illusuion of tears, i know from experience that when taking photos it looks particularly realistic. Although the two 'Maleficent' lipglosses are a bit dark for use that way, lighter or clear gloss would be ideal around the eyes and nose for creating faux tears for a film.
MAC Vemomous Villains
The Venemous Villains collection from MAC focuses on 4 villains who have featured in Disney cartoons throughout the years. These include The Evil Queen from Snow White (1937), Malificent from Sleeping Beauty (1959), Cruella De Vil from One Hundred And One Dalmatians (1961), and Dr Facilier from The Princess and the Frog (2009).

The black eyeshadow in the middle of this photo is from the Cruella De Vil section of the makeup collection. Black eyeshadow is incredibly versatile when creating a 'stage makeup' look. Coupled with purples, blues and yellows it can be used to create very convincing bruises on the skin. It can also obviously be used on the eyelids and under the eyes, this creates a look similar to the eyeliner above, and using them together will intensify the look further.
