Bond Girls: Teressa "Tracy" di Vicenzo- Bond (Diana Rigg)

Hello Everyone,


I have to admit this is probably both one of the hardest and easiest tutorials in this series. It is the hardest because the character it is based off of is the most important Bond Girl in the series and easy because I really wanted to stay true to the style of make up she wore in the film.

A little bit of back story on the film, this is the first, last and only Bond film with George Lazenby in the main role, I might be a bit bias, however, I firmly believe that this was absolutely necessary for this film as it was a far more emotional role than Sean Connery or any other Bond actor could have handled.
 
 
 At the begining of the movie Bond is ureachable to MI6, as he is in Portugal where they cannot find him, he eventually saves a young woman from drowning herself, later revealed to be Tracy (played by Diana Rigg known for her role as Dr. Emma Peel from the original Avengers television series.). After learning that her father is the head of a European crime syndicate and being blackmailed Bond begins courting her. Eventually Bond is sent to Switzerland to infiltrate a school run by Blofeld (who escaped at the end of You Only Live Twice) and is subsequently had his cover blown and makes his escape to a small village where he meets up with Tracy not knowing she is there and they continue their escape together, and later that night Bond proposes to Tracy. Sometime has passed and it is Bonds wedding day, after the ceremony as they leave for their honeymoon Blofelds henchwoman Irma Blunt guns down Bonds bride, after which Bond states "We had all the time in the world." the title of the last song recorded by Louis Armstrong for this film.

As previously mentioned Diana Rigg played a character on the Avengers series, however she was not the first Bond Girl to do this Honor Blackman (Pussy Galore) who played Emma Peels Predecessor Cathy Gale. Aswell this is the only Bond film to have a full orchestral score.

Like I said I really wanted to stay true to the character, a small amount taupe eyeshadow on the eye, and a sleek coral lip.
