For this assessment Alex completed my Elizabethan inspired make-up design and created something that represented my Lady in waiting and my final design.
For the assessment she had prepared her station and I gave her my designs and images of practice sessions. We had practiced my design in preparation for the final assessment and Alex felt confident of completing my design. Features of my make-up are complex therefore through practicing she was able to improve on her techniques and complete it to my desire and to her highest ability. During the assessment Alex was a lot more precise with each section of my design and just completed it within the time. My design featured a heart shape around the eyes and down the cheeks. Thankfully, Alex had a very steady hand and was able to create an accurate and symmetrical shape. I wanted the outside of the heart to be outlined with a pink blush and then blended upwards. Alex did this perfectly and was the best she had ever completed it. I feel like the colour was the right shade and worked perfectly around the heart and on the face. The only criticism I had of my make up look was that I would have liked the white on the eyelashes to be more visible. They are not that visible in the photographs. Alex was worried about getting the white on the eyeshadow. If there would have been time left after I would possibly have asked her to curl my eyelashes however when designing my final look I knew my eyelashes were long anyway so did not think this was needed. The jewels that I had on my face were small in size and therefore were tricky for Alex to apply quickly. She used tweezers to hold them, however they kept slipping through. As she applied more it became easier for her to apply. Originally, I wanted them around the whole of the heart, however due to the time limit I change it to just the top. Overall, I was really pleased with my final design and the way in which Alex had completed it as my make-up artist.
Alex was very professional and worked well under the timed conditions. As my design featured many complex parts she worked well to complete these to a good standard. She was always asking me questions and helping me to improve my design and giving me her own ideas about the best way to complete the look. I found this extremely helpful and felt we both worked well together as partners.
My design featured jewel adornments on the face that Alex had to apply around the heart. I bought a set of these which featured a range of different sizes. The biggest size worked best for my design and would be easiest for Alex to apply. When we first practiced Alex did not have any tweezers so she had to use her fingers. This was extremely hard to apply the glue and then place on the face, therefore we knew that she had to use tweezers. During the assessment applying the jewels was a lot easier. Through practicing my design, me and Alex worked together to find the best products to use and overcame any problems. For the white on and around the eyes we used the supra colour and then used a flat brush to blend in with with base. Alex had the idea to use a white eyeshadow to blend the white base. This worked so much better and the look as a whole improved and looked more professional. The rest of the products I had originally planned to use worked perfectly so nothing else had to be changed. I found explaining the make-up to my partner quite hard as they can only go by what you tell them and your design. Practicing the design definitely helped as I did not want to come across as bossy towards Alex. Having her asking me lots of questions also helped as I knew that she wanted to perfect the design for me and to complete it to a standard that she was happy with. I have really enjoyed designing a range of different make-up looks and portraying them through a lady in waiting. I think it works perfectly with my characters story and background. I tried to focus the interpretation of her through colour. I am pleased with my final design but if I had to change anything about it I would look at featuring more gold through the design as I think it would have complemented the pink perfectly.
