So, I have just under 3 days to send off my proposal for my undergraduate dissertation, although I've been making some progress I'm still struggling to find a title for my (possible) project, and am unlikely to be able to meet a lecturer/possible supervisor by the deadline.
So far, I have two main branches of psychology I'm considering - health and forensic. I'm struggling the most with health, I want to do something on either chronic pain or the elderly but I'm not sure what.
For forensic I have a more solid idea/research area, into attractiveness and offender profiling/bias, however I'm struggling to come up with a research question and full study I could do that stands out.
Any suggestions?

For forensic, you could look at previous studies that have looked at that topic. Then try to identify a gap or build-on a previous study. Authors sometimes suggest what future studies should do.
You should also look for systematic reviews on topics you are interested in. This will give you a broad overview of what has been done already and it will help you to identify gaps.
