Final Idea For Miss Havisham's Make-up

Final face chart 
This is my final idea for my design - I am going to have Victorian style bridal make-up (taken from that time period) which consists of quite a fresh, natural face with light eye make-up (in order to bring out her eyes for the TV/film production) and rouge cheeks and lips. I will combine this the ageing technique that I have previously learnt (I used the diagram below to help me decide where the most prominent wrinkles/creases will be placed). 

I am going to make Miss Havisham on her actual wedding day, just before she is left at the alter (this is not actually featured/described in the novel). This means that her make-up will not yet be smudged or ruined and will actually show her at her potential best. The ageing comes into play in my design because I imagine Miss Havisham to be fairly old (late 30s/40s?) and I feel like she will have gone through quite a lot and time will have taken its toll on her. 

The character is being produced for TV/film, therefore the make-up will need to be heavier in order to show clearly on the screen.
