Final Evaluation

Final Evaluation

 

During this unit it came to my attention that sometimes my ideas were too broad and that I sometimes couldn't reference all my ideas as Elizabethan, I overcame this problem by creating my back story of Elizabeth Brydges and breaking down the different attributes of her character and referencing them to portraiture, films, catwalks and also fashion editorials and by looking at all of these different things I developed my research. Along with looking and primary and secondary sources I practiced with new techniques to see which way would be the most effective for my design. I really enjoyed working to this brief because I feel like I got just the right amount of freedom and could totally interpreted the brief in the way I wanted to, however I would have liked to create and apply my own design, this is something that I would have done if I had more time. I do feel like this brief has given me a good understanding of what it is like working in industry and that has been a really thought provoking experience. 

Peer Assessment

For my peer review I have marked my partner on their practical and professional skills and also their transferable and key skills I have decided to give my partner a B1 for her timed assessment this is because for her practical and professional skills I would Mark my partner in the upper second giving her a B2, as she demonstrated competence with my design and was aware of professional contexts, when I sat down for my assessment she washed her hands and put a robe over me, all the products were laid out in front of me and with face charts and a clear list of step by steps on the mirror, the base was applied with the correct yellow undertone with the only problem being is her time management which is why I gave her a B2 instead of a B1. For Transferable and key skills I have given my partner a first, as her communication throughout the practical's has been excellent and I could tell that all the way through she was listening to what I wanted from my design and that she was giving 100% at all times.

Technical Evaluation

 



I believe that during these weeks I have learnt some valuable skills, although I have studied makeup for 2 years prior to doing this course. I have learnt new techniques of how to apply makeup and how to use different products. When starting this course I was using similar products to what I used in my previous course, however It was hard adapting to a new set of brushes. I really enjoyed the contouring lesson and the eye and lip session, I really liked the approach on how to contour by feeling round the face as it made it look really natural, however I found it quite hard because I don't feel like I have the right brushes. One of the things that I really struggled on in this technical unit was cleansing toning and moisturising, although this is something I am very comfortable with we had to do it standing behind them and doing it by looking in the mirror, as this was the first time that I did this and my depth perception was all out, so this is something that I will have to practice. Overall I believe that doing all of these technical lessons has been really beneficial to me, I have learnt to get out of some of my set routines on how I do makeup and have learnt new techniques that have turned out to be a lot easier than the ones I first learnt, and overall I now have a better understanding of makeup. 

3 Brush Challenge

Today as a fun activity we had to use one of our colour theory designs and recreate this using only three brushes. I used my complimentary design that was inspired by John Galliano & Pat McGrath's 1920's look. The three brushes that I chose was...

• Kabuki brush
• Large eyeshadow Brush
• Angled brush

And the makeup I used was...

• Supracolour palette
• V1 Bright's palette
• Kryolan Foundation palette
• Liquid Metals Palette
• Illamasqua Eyeshadow in Obsidian
• Mascara

These two images are of my final makeup application. I found it really hard using only 3 brushes because I usually use about a million when doing a makeup application. The way I chose my brushes was by using my kabuki brush to apply the foundation and contour, then the shadow brush I used to apply all of the shadow, then I used the angled brush to apply the yellow, brows and also the gold on the lip.

I am really pleased with this application even though it was only done with 3 brushes, the things that I think I could have improved on Is the eyebrows, I think these look a bit too thick this is because they kept going wrong so I had to draw them thicker and thicker.

I have learnt from doing this challenge that you do not need every brush in the world to create a makeup design, and this is something I will definitely start using as it means less brushes to wash!!!!

**HEALTH AND SAFETY**

• Make sure model is covered over
• Make sure that the brushes are clean and sanitised
• Make sure that you do not contaminate products.

Review of my Designer

Review of my Designer

 

As a whole Jennifer was a really good designer to work with, the things that she did well was she was really patient with me as a makeup artist and was not at all critical of my work but at the same time she wasn't afraid to speak up when she wanted something done differently or corrected, this made me feel secure as a makeup artist as she was actively voicing what she thought could be improved, which helped me a lot in creating her new Elizabethan. The only thing that I think could have been improved is the speed on creating her design, I received her design on Monday when my timed assessment was on Thursday, this made me panic as when I first created the design it was not up to standard and I was hoping it wasn't going to be the same on the day of my timed assessment, this could have been improved with better time management, but I do believe I did well against these odds and created a design that fit her brief sufficiently. If I was less confident with my skills I would have asked my designer to meet up with me for a second practice but I was relatively confident enough after playing with the design on myself. Overall Jennifer was a really good, there was only minor improvements that I could think of, she communicated well and also wrote me out some fantastic detailed step by step notes about how to apply her design which really helped me.

Self Evaluation

 

These are my final images of my application of Jennifer's design during the timed assessment. I was very lucky with how this makeup came out on my final try as I didn't have a lot of practice. I am pleased with how symmetrical I got the design as this is something that I struggled with in my practices, I think it looks neat. I am also very pleased with my eyeliner and eyelash application because they sat perfectly against the lash line and this is something I find hard to do under time restraints. I think my time management skills for this makeup was really good as I had enough time for finishing touches and also to do two quick braids in the hair. However, the things that didn't go very well was the fact that I did not powder round the black adequately, so there was a lot of fallout, this contaminated my brushes and got spread round the face which was an absolute nightmare to get off the face. I also think the contour on the face could be a lot stronger. If I was to do this design again I would focus on these things, I have really learnt what a nightmare it is to work with white on a pale base, however I am pleased with the outcome keeping in mind that I only got to practice the design twice.
