As I've suggested in previous posts perhaps the Deadly Sin of 'Lust' ought to be the same actor as the main male character (I'm still yet to think of a name for him). But in terms of the 'make-up looks' of the 7 Deadly Sins I'm taking inspiration from (from Klaire de Lys) Lust looks very much female.
So I need to figure out how to make this make-up from female;
To male...
What I could imagine I could do is give my actor eye-liner, a leather jacket (if he doesn't already have one) and since its most likely Stephen will be playin the main male, I wont risk messing his hair up, since I know how fussy he is about it :)
Chantelle said Stephen as an 'Alex Turner' sort of style to him (but blonde) and i was thinking of that sort of look for him already, so its good to know someone was on the same wavelength as me!
But, if we're going to explore this, then I might as well ask the deep question 'what makes a man good looking' (to me anyway)? I could do some audience research... But I feel it best for now to go this dark path alone, to do the dirty deed of finding images of my favourite actors in order to take inspiration from their devilishly good looks.
So here's some research on some 'classic male beauty' (and, I did have consultation from Paige and Megan of which pictures to go for, so it's sort of Audience Research as well).
Richard Armitage
The hair the leather the eyes the nose the EVERYTHING!
Those puppy dog eyes and stubble...!
Jason Isaacs:
His eyes... so twinkly...
Guy-liner.... is needed.
Lee Pace:
That hair (image above) would be perfect to replicate!

Aidan Turner...
Those puppy dog eyes and stubble...!
Jason Isaacs:
Fabulous in blonde...
Aneurin Barnard:
Lee Pace:
I'm sure the image below is fanart; but he's literally a piece of art anyway!
Johnny Depp:
Now that struggle is over, I've taken some words from Megan and Paige of what they find attractive in men...
Megan: [runs her fingers down her face] a beard....
Paige: [excited] Good hair, good clothes and I'm in!
Ooo and a nice voice too!
Ooo and a nice voice too!
What else can I say really? They know what they're talking about. And, in case you don't see any point in this research; in Disney's 'Tangled' they apparently gathered the best looking features from some of the best looking actors (including Johnny Depp's jaw) to make 'Eugine Fitzherbert' so to make the best looking character possible.
And I'm just doing the same, except I'll replicate what I could through Stephen's make up (using his natural features) to try and make a character girls would potentially go mad over and make the character of 'Lust' extra lusty!
EDIT:
In this 'future' blog post I've written about some changes that are applied to this current post you're reading due to a change in ideas:
It's not too much of a problem; instead this blog post can suggest the beauty Senara sees in the main male lead, so I need to get that across in the acting. It's also Target Audience research in what women usually find attractive in men, so it's still valid.
