A big part of what makes The Great Gatsby stand out is because of the party scenes we see throughout the film. I want to create a 1920's party girl character inspired by the lively atmosphere. Researching into 1920's makeup their eye makeup is quite heavy and their lips are small and pouty. I want to merge these ideas, specifically the eye makeup with a contemporary theme to also portray the modern music that is used throughout the film. With styling I think I need to consider what accessories will suit this look and fit in with the 20's trends and portrays an art deco mood. For the clothing I am considering dressing my character in a fringed outfit to resemble the style of the 1920's.
To create this look I need to consider the options I have to make this look fit in with the film but still have a contemporary twist to this.

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy. They smashed up things and people, and then retreated back into their money and their vast carelessness." - (Nick Carraway, The Great Gatsby, 2013)
In The Great Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan stands out to me the most because of the way the character unravels throughout the film. We see the 'golden girl' eventually reveal herself to have many imperfections including her morals and selfishness. With this idea I want to recreate Daisy as her reveal by adding a dark mood to her character within the makeup, hair and styling. Daisy has a very clean look about her but I want to change this by forming a heavier makeup look to her to portray her heavy materialistic needs. With styling I am trying to think about how I can create this look without taking too many elements away from the original Daisy as the audience needs to recognise who this character is portraying. I could have her styled in darker tones instead of the clean neutral tones she wears but then this may make her less recognisable. I will need to test this out to see whether it will retract too much of her identity or not.
