My Final Evaluation

The Final

When I first got paired with Martina, I was slightly nervous, as although we were in the same group we never actually spoke until we were paired. Secondly she already comes from a make-up background, so initially I thought her designs were going to be of a professional standard, which I’d be unable to achieve. However her designs were really straight forward and I was able to practice outside of university on her and myself at home.

I am very pleased with my make-up application and feel that it matches Martina’s design to the best of my ability, she also gave me compliments and advised me during practice sessions where I could build up colour or blend more.

The only part of the project, which I am not entirely happy with, is my photographs. As I do not come from a photography background I find it really hard set up and capture good shots. I think if I had more time and less people around the area of photography I would have been able to shoot better pictures. However I shot what was asked (front & side view) and also took more photos in the studio.

Day of The Dead

Day Of The Dead

So this was Halloween week, I was given a photograph of Day of The Dead Make-up which i had to transfer to my models face.

I think the task went well for my first attempt but my speed wasn't up to scratch therefore the whole look wasn't completed. 

All in all the look resembles Halloween so I am pleased with the final result.

Taking Out Eyebrows....

Removal of Brows

So as we all know the Elizabethans were notorious for their absent hairline and brows.

In this session I was taught how to remove my own brows using soap and a pritt stick, after watching both demo's I decided I preferred using a pritt stick.

Here's How....

• Cleanse and Tone Face as usual
• Using a spatula apply the pritt stick in the direction of the hair growth
• Apply translucent powder to help dry the brow area
• Apply foundation to the brow, once the brow is covered continue applying foundation to the rest of the face

Val Garland....

Val Garland

Make up artists are all new to me, unless researching I wouldn't be able to name someone off my head.

Now Val Garland who i have been asked to research is amazing, she brings something different to the table. Val uses lines and shapes as her make-up, it gives the model a edgy yet different look. I think for the catwalk and magazine covers her designs are outstanding

Val has worked for Top model Kate Moss and has done multiple vogue covers. She has also done work for Vivienne Westwood's catwalk.

Colour Theory....

What is colour theory?

Colour theory is a guide when mixing colours. There are categories based on colour theory such as colour wheel, primary colour, secondary colour and tertiary colour. 

The tradition of colour theory steamed back in the 18th century, with the helping of Sir Isaac Newtons theory of colour and the nature of primary colours.

Self Portrait

Self Portrait

So I was asked to produce a self portrait (selfie) of myself that shows wealth. Now I wouldn't say I'm wealthy nor have anything to show off, but I did happen to find a picture of myself at my happiest. This was back in New Year 2012, I travelled to the BIG APPLE! Now like I said above I am not wealthy, maybe its because I was a tourist but the Americans made me feel so superior, I felt like a celebrity, and feeling this way made me look this way.

So here it is my self portrait Heathrow Airport Terminal 5

I guess you could say the fur and heels show a sign of wealth :)

Three Three Three

The Three Brush Challenge.

Initially I was thinking why and what is the need for this task. Surprisingly I enjoyed the task and my make up looked just as good if not better.

So basically I had to choose a make-up look, as it was timed assessment week I decided to stick to my models design. Then I had to choose three brushes to complete the whole look, I chose my foundation brush, buffing brush and lastly blusher brush.

If I was to go back to this task I would replace my blusher brush with a smaller brush as I struggled slightly when it came to working on the eyes and lips.

Here's My Completed Look!
