EVALUATION

Starting at the beginning of my journey, the first week was very nerve racking, meeting new people and most of all i had not been on a hair or make up course previously. During my first lessons i was lacking confidence in my own work, but look back on previous work to work i am producing now makes me extremely happy with how confident i have became. 
Research and practical lesson within make up i both really enjoyed an never really got distracted which meant they helped me a lot throughout my thought process for my final design. Sue and Kat have been very helpful throughout the 10 weeks of teaching and gave very clear instructions on how to do certain techniques. 
Building up to the assessment day i was very nervous i had only practiced my partners design on myself and not on her skin type. After the assessment i examined my partners face and i thought i did really well with making the make up look like her skin instead of it sitting on top on the face. When taking the pictures Sue did mention a few faults but they were expected with it being my first assessment but i know these mistakes will help me in future assessments. 
Assessment day for Laura was fab but i know she need a lot help with it, she had practiced once during one of the lessons, but when it came to the assessment day i found that she wasn't feel confident. I did put clear instructions up but i think applying the make up stage was the hard part for her. Unfortunately i did not have pleasant( dry and spotty)  skin during her assessment which meant it was harder for her to cover. But all together i thought she done had done a perfect job and it was similar to the look i wanted to portray. 
Overall, i am pleased with what i have achieved throughout my journey on the BA(hons) Make up and Hair course. 

PEER ASSESSMENT - LAURA KENTS DESIGN

Assessment Day - Laura Kent :Designer , Me :Artist

Assessment day was today, it was the most nerve racking day i've had in a while. 

The reason why i was so nervous during the morning of my assessment is i had not practiced Laura's design. 

Unfortunately we had both been off during the weeks for practice which meant neither of us were fully comfortable with the design. 

Laura set out step by step, steps for me to create her design, they were clear instructions and understood them well. Once i step foot in the studio i got right on with it and felt comfortable doing her design.

Below are the end results for Laura's design. 

After looking at all these pictures i am pleased with what i have achieved, i did have some faults but not as many as i thought considering i had not practiced this design on her type of skin. 

PEER ASSESSMENT - MY DESIGN

Assessment Day - My design. 

Below you will see images of my final design in a face chart and step by step instructions on to apply the make up. 

Last minute i decided to mix two face charts in to one another, i then added to the instructions which you will see below. 

Products you will need : 

• Bronzing pallette krylon
• Brushes
• Primer 
• White base 
• Angle brush 
• fixing powder 
• Supracolour pallette
• Lip pallette

Step by step: 

1. Start by cleansing, toning and mosturising the face making sure you remove any old make up
2. Apply primer to the skin to prep the skin for the next steps
3. Grab the Illamasqua white base and you foundation brush apply evenly over the face. Don't forget to buff those creases out!. 
4. Repeat until you are a light stage of white.
5. Contour around the face using bronzing summer in the krylon palette 
6. Apply to temples,cheeks, side of nose and jaw line. Make them define. 
7. Start with the brows and use a disposable wand an brush through your eyebrows, apply red onto the brush and brush up words making the eyebrows look a bushy red
8. Apply the same red using your angle brush, an apply to the lips making a large love heart shape shown on the face chart. 
9. Fix the look with translucent powder and set the look. 

Below you will see images of the final result. 

I will speak about how i felt Laura got on in my evaluation.

CONTEMPORARY MAKE-UP INFLUENCES.

Influences.

The above images have inspired me with my final design.
Each one has inspired with different paths to go down, they are all each to their own, instead of copying directly i want to go around it a different way, i want my look to be different compared to anyones design. 
Looking at these photos, you can the artist have put there everything into the make up and to the design. 

Contemporary, these images are very contemporary and thats what i am lacking in my design at the moment, my design is still very elizabethan, i think you will get some styles which are going to be basic and i would say safe design but i like being risky and love to think out of the box. 

After researching these images, i am excited to see my final outcome and i hope you are too.

FACECHART PRACTICE.

The above images are facecharts of idea's for my final design. 

I personally think they are all really similar, as i have one idea spinning around my head but i always changed something on my next go, my final design will be the one i like the most and the one i feel my partner can proceed through with, without any help. 

I enjoy playing around with different kind of make up and experiment so you can understand how much i enjoy doing my facecharts.

In the following posts you will eventually see my final design.

CONTEMPORARY PRACTICE

The below images show practice images of my contemporary elizabethan look, as i was not in for the contemporary look i did not produce images of work which was expected, but i did manage to practice my look for my partners assessment.
These images will be adjusted in my assessment and things will have changed, as i was not satisfied with the results. 

Before took these images, i messed about with egg whites, i seen that they make the skin more tighter and stiff but did not now how to apply to the skin meaning do i put on before or after my end result?

I learnt that if you put it on before your skin base it starts to flake so i restarted and put on after but i did not wait for it to dry properly but i knew that was the right way of doing it but you have to make sure you don't smudge/ruin your end result while applying.
In the first image you can see my face has a gloss, this is not i wanted as elizabethans have a powdery look but looking at it in the assignment way that could be added for the contemporary twist. 

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW

The Taming of the shrew.

When watching The Taming of the shrew in lesson with Sharon, i thought the film would be rather boring and not relevant. Having said that, i more than take that straight back, the film portrayed several references throughout the film of Queen Elizabeth I. 

Starting with Shirley Hendersons attitude throughout the film is a great examples for one of the several references, Queen Elizabeth was extremely powerful and you see this in the film with the main actress Katherine Minola (Shirley Henderson). Both Katherine and Queen Elizabeth, were asked to marry to improve her public apperance and to be seen as a powerful politican as for Elizabeth the as a Queen. Katherine's Sister 'Bianca is the exact opposite, she is a gorgeous female who loved to be pictured. During the film you see Bianca's apartment, where she hung portraits of herself on walls and cabinet tops. This evoked me of Elizabeth and how she loved to be in control of how she looked/portrayed in her images to the public. 

During The taming of the shrew, you see Katherine wears a lot of black, this enforces she is wealthy, Katherine's family wore black, white, beiges and fur pieces of clothing. Eventually you are introduced to Bianca's Agent, in the begining of the film he is seen to be wearing bright and colourful garments this in seen as someone with little money, as in the Elizabethan age people with colour worked on the land and was exposed to sun. During the end of the film when he is ready to marry Bianca's mum he is seen in fur. Katherine's mum is seen to be wearing jewels, colourful jewels infact, this refreshes images of Queen Elizabeth wearing jewels and pearls which we're a symbol of her position if the Queen. 

Overall the film inspired me to think more into what actually was Elizabethan reference and how to come about them, It taught me to research more into the Elizabethan era and not to pick the first thing you see, as i would of never picked up on the taming of the shrew without watching in it in Sharon's lesson. I really enjoyed the film and would recommend into anyway studying the Elizabethan era.
