Trouble with Male Models & Design Development - Macho Man

The model that my initial face chart was based on has pulled out. Because the chart was done to fit his skin tone I will have to re-work it to fit my new model. I had another model who has also pulled out but now have a firm (hopefully) yes from the third. Third time lucky I hope!

I created an individual mood board for the Macho Man now that I have already had to problem solve and have a more clear idea of what I want to shoot.

The mood board incorporates all the ideas that I want to include. It is helping having everything down in front of me so that I can go ahead and start designing new face charts for this shoot now that i finally have a reliable model.

UPDATE:

My third model has double triple confirmed that he will be there and is able to do the shoot.

I have scrapped the initial face chart design and have designed some that I think would suit him

FACE CHART 1

FACE CHAR 2

I have designed two different face charts that show makeup in two different types of intensity. I am going to use the first face chart as it is subtler which I think will allow the model to look manly without accidentally straying into drag or camp. I have to remember that the point of this shoot is to show the taboo of a manly man wearing makeup because that is more diverse than a camp man wearing it.

UPDATE:

I have done the shoot today and had a few issues. I applied face chart 1 on the model and although it looked good in person it just wasn't translating well to camera. I chose face chart 1 because it was the more subtle of the two but on camera it looked TOO subtle and you could hardly tell that the model was wearing makeup. 

I didn't feel as though the makeup of face chart 1 was portraying my idea properly. 

I had also planned for this shoot to be the pulled out one, but again this wasn't working because you couldn't see the makeup, so I decided to solve this by doing two things:

1) change this to the head shot and change the Jewel shoot to the pulled out one because the model has more styling that could be included in the shoot

2) try face chart 2, which is more extreme makeup but have a manlier pose to even it out.

Although I DO like the first image and face chart design I think that the second one reflects my ideas more and reads better so I plan to keep it for one of my final images.
