Estella.

Estella Havisham is a fictional character created by Dickens. In the novel `Great Expectations` Estella is perceived as having a heart of ice "i have no heart". Estella was Miss Havishams robot. She created her to be a person with no feelings towards men. She was Miss Havisham's revenge on her ex-partner. Estella is Pip's only love, yet she falls into an abusive relationship with Bentley described as a "spider" by Pip. From the book I en-capture Estella to be beautiful yet cold looking. I can make her cold looking by really contouring her face making the angles sharp. Giving her a superior yet attractive look.

Estella in David Leans version of Great expectations (1946) in terms of appearance. Is classically beautiful. She has striking bone structure, smooth skin and high brows. Her hair looks slightly frizzy,yet smooth. It is sort of slicked tot he back with a middle parting. Her ends of her hair have been flicked out.

Estella in Alfonso Cuarón version in Great Expectations is very natural looking in terms of makeup and hair. Her skin is dewy and looks sun kissed. Her lips are very neutral with a peach, pink tint. Her brows and eyes are always very neutral looking. Her hair is soft, and silky looking. Her hair is always straight throughout the film. To me this is how I would imagine a contemporary Estella naturally pretty. However I think the only element I would take from this character is how natural and neutral her eyes always are.

In BBC ones adaptation of Great Expectations. Estella is perceived as being extremely cold, personality wise and looks wise. In comparison to the other versions. Her skin is pale, and her eyes are ice blue. To me she looks very intimidating. She is not how I would imagine Estella or how I ma going to create mine because I just do not find her attractive, I believe Estella should be attractive. Her makeup is plain, and simple. Soft brows,skin and lips. Her hair has a lot of height and shape although the curls appear to be very soft making her hair style have a loose feel to it. Possibly symbolizing that she cannot be controlled anymore? I like the idea of loose curls to communicate that.

Estella in Mike Newells adaptation of Great Expectations is fairly attractive. She is closer to my Estella ideal as she has this cold look about her, yet a warmth. She also has a strong face that could be perceived as attractive which is what I would like to create. Her cheeks are strong contoured to give that sort of superior look. She has really good plumped up lips that naturally create a pout. Her eyes again are kept neutral this could possibly be because they did not wear eye makeup in the Victorian era. Her hair is extravagant and interesting which I like. I have not been so inspired by up dos for Estella and would like to create a natural waved effect on the hair.
