On the assessment day I provided AJ with a face chart of my final design with a list of products, a step-by-step of what to do and photographs from practices of the look. However because AJ had practised the look so many times she didn't actually need to refer to the notes during the assessment.
Final
Make-up Design Step by Step
-Cleanse, tone and moisturise the
face, ears and neck using cotton wool pads.
-Apply Nivea Express Hydration
Primer over the face, ears and neck using a foundation brush.
-You can now apply the foundation
first or eye make-up first depending on which you find the easiest. If you are
applying the eye make-up first make sure you apply foundation and powder to the
eyelids first so that you have a good base.
-Apply the appropriate colour of Kryolan
Grease foundation using a foundation brush and buff using a buffer brush.
-Then apply Kryolan
Concelear
using a small brush and buff in using the buffer brush.
-Apply Illamasqua
translucent powder using a large round brush.
-Contour on the cheeks, temples,
nose and chin using the Kryolan
glamour glow palette in Bronzing agais,
Bronzing sun and Bronzing Summer using a round brush.
-Highlight using Kryolan
glamour glow palette in Pale Tan above the cheekbones and down the centre of
the face using a round brush.
-Then create a smoky eye look on
the eyelids using Kryolan eyeshadow
in White Pepper, Caraway and Black Pepper using eyeshadow
brushes. Use Anis to fill in the eyebrows and use
Miss Sporty Clear Mascara to brush through the eyebrows.
-Use Rimmel
White Eyeliner to draw along the top lash line and in the bottom waterline.
-Use Kryolan
Supra Color
in White to coat the eyelashes using a mascara wand.
-
Use Kryolan
lip Palette LC007 and LC008 or Delux
Lipstick all over the lips using an angled brush and blot to create a stain and
then apply LC002 to the centre of the lips and blend in using a lip brush.
The end result:
Photographs taken by and make-up done by Amy Curtis (AJ) following my design.
Final Assessment
I was very pleased with the outcome of the final assessment as the make-up was exactly how I hoped it would be. I think we worked well together during our practices so on the day we were well prepared and completed the look in time. For the final photographs I wore my hair back off my face so that all of the make-up especially the lovely foundation and contour blending could be seen. I had the rest of my hair curly to look slightly Elizabethan but had it to one side to make is look modern as well. I wore pearl ear rings as pearls were very popular in Elizabethan times and still are today. Also I wore a dress with a detailed flower pattern on as it reminded me of Elizabethan designs and the colours of white and green were used to show wealth and high status in Elizabethan times.
Peer Evaluation
When I was paired up with AJ as my
partner for this project I was pleased as we had worked together previously
during an activity in welcome week and I knew that we could work well together.
We swapped designs and then began to practice our make-up looks on each other
adapting them during our practices to make them look as good as possible. I
think we did this well together as we shared our opinions on each others looks
and gave each other feedback on both our designs and the way we applied the
make-up which helped us both to improve and our looks developed to a higher
standard. AJ was always prepared to practice the make-up both in the studio and at home and took on board all the feedback which I gave to her. AJ also made suggestions herself such as trying grease contouring and blotting the lipstick to make it look like more of a stain which helped my design to develop and look as good as possible. The make-up she did was always completed to a high standard during practices especially the base make-up and contouring as her blending always looked lovely. The eyeliner and mascara was also always very accurate and she acted in a friendly but professional manner whenever doing my make-up. On the assessment day AJ completed the make-up in time and it looked exactly the same as how I wanted it to so obviously I was very happy with the end result. The blending of the eyeshadow, base and contouring were fantastic and the lip colour was smooth and soft with the different colours making my lips look fuller and a better shape which I loved. Overall I was very pleased with how AJ worked throughout the whole project and she is obviously a talented make-up artist who I would be happy to work with again in the future.
