Patti:
Makeup:
Patti the psychologist, is a middle aged woman around her 40s-50s whom during the "real" office scenes will look put together. This will be done using a basic outfit, clean makeup, and pulled back hair.
Office Look:
Costume:
According to a Chron Contributor "they (psychologists) should avoid loud prints or whimsical looks that undermine their credibility as a serious professional according to Racked" therefore, Patti's office costume would be very easy on the eyes.
- Top - Something long sleeve likely white
- Bottoms - Black dress pants
- Shoes - Plain flats
- Accessories - Jewelry, necklace, bracelet, rings, earrings, etc

Her makeup will be a middle aged woman's everyday makeup. Personally, I know a lot about this as I do my mom's makeup usually once a week for fun.
- Primer
- Foundation
- Concealer
- Powder
- Blush
- Bronzer
- Eyeshadow (neutrals, brown, white, tan, maybe a light shimmer)
- Black eyeliner
- Lips - thinking a red lip patted down to look neutral
This makeup will make our character look put together, as she had to take time out of her day to apply it.
Hair:
Her hair will be pulled back out of her face to show her expression and so it does not get in her face while she is trying to take notes.
Problem:
I am having trouble deciding if she would be looking the same in the imagined office since really it is all in her brain, but then I think well in her brain she views herself as different meaning she would look different? I will get opinions on this issue. For now I will make two plans, one where she looks only slightly different and the other completely different.
Imagined Office Plan One:
She looks exactly the same.
Either Way:
Patti's jewelry will change from her own jewelry to one of Meredith's old necklaces. This necklace symbolizes Meredith still being the main thing on her mind. She does not wear this in real life to appear strong, like she has accepted the death and is through the main coping process.
Imagined Office Plan Two:
Clothing, Hair, and Makeup:
Her clothing would likely be a plain black top long sleeve top and black pants, or black dress. Her costume would show how she feels blank and would easily allow for Meredith's necklace to be seen as this in the main focus we want the audience to have when they look at Meredith.
Her hair would be messy looking with lots of tangles and she would have no makeup on.
Meredith:
Meredith will look how she did as she drowned. Her clothing, hair, and makeup is going to need to look soaking wet.
Clothing:
- Tops - Plain colored t-shirt
- Bottoms - Plain non-ripped jeans
- Shoes - Plain sneakers

Makeup is going to be crucial. Meredith was a teen when she drowned. Her makeup is minimal: mascara, eyeliner, and any other type of easily smeared product. My partner, Julie is currently researching drowning and typically drowning victims have discoloration so through the usage of blue and purple eye shadows along with pale foundation discoloration will show.
Hair:
Meredith's hair will be a wet, tangled mess.
Moving forward:
Julie and I must find costume examples and hair and makeup examples so that will be tomorrow's posting. Tomorrow I will be applying the makeup of Patti to my mom and the makeup of Meredith to myself. First off I want to make sure I have an example picture for when I do the actress playing Patti's makeup. Secondly, I believe the makeup for Meredith needs to be experimented with to make it look realistic.
