Final Portfolio: Make-up and Costumes

-

For the four main actors, we decided on a black dress code to create a cohesive look that connects all the characters. Below are the inspiration photos and the actual versions for each of them:



For Muhjah, we opted for a more minimal makeup look, paired with any black dress, as it aligns with the dress code while being significant to the plot



Mishmal's makeup should be bold, reflecting her confidence and satisfaction in outshining Muhjah at the gathering. Her choice of a black dress, similar to Muhjah's, symbolizes her triumph in winning over her ex by mirroring Muhjah's style.




While both Atlas and Daniyal follow the black dress code, their styles set them apart. Atlas embraces a more formal look, whereas Daniyal opts for a casual, streetwear-inspired outfit. This contrast highlights their differing personalities and social attitudes, emphasizing the distinction in their roles and how they navigate the gathering.
