Creating my partners Make-up design...

 

 

My partner was Shannen Abbott during the timed assessment. these are some images I took when practicing my partners design on her face when my timed assessment was quickly approaching. The design itself was very daunting when I was first introduced to it. It was a very subtle and accurate design the opposite of what I had created for her to execute. I think the unique twist to this assessment is the fact that two people have to communicate there ideas to there partner to apply to there face but both designs can be from each end of the spectrum. Like mine and Shannen's designs, we both portray and interpret make-up very differently so I was definitely out of my comfort zone when attempting the design.

 

This is Shannen's face chart for her final design.

 

 

 

 

Full product list to create this design:

• Mac Studio Fix Fluid foundation in NW13.

• Kryolan white aqua colour.
• Kryolan green eye shadow in F01.
• Kryolan green eye shadow in AB 23.
• L’oreal white mascara

 

 

 

I thought Shannen's design was a really good interpretation of a contemporary Elizabethan. The make-up consisted of more contemporary aspects rather than traditional. I like the fact that she didn't include a white foundation base but instead added the pale trait through the application of white powder blusher. However this was quite difficult to highlight and contour the face with as it easily looked streaky and not blended, it had a really nice effect on the eye under the eyebrow really bringing out the bright colours used on the eyelid.

 

The light green, dark green and yellow palette used on the eyes were quite difficult colours to apply because as you would apply one and try blend the other the previous colour would fade so it was nearly invisible. However Shannen had to demonstrate that dabbing the colour on rather than stroking with a brush made it become much more prominent and stayed on the lid longer. The bright colours really worked well against the white composition adding a contemporary twist to the design.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next group of images were my final assessment shots. I was incredibly nervous particularly because of the timed aspect of it. I knew that I would struggle to complete all the hair without cutting into some of the make-up application time. In the end I didn't have time to fill in the eyebrows, brush over the lashes with white foundation or gel any of the sequins in the hair. I was really disappointed with this outcome especially when the white foundation makes such a massive impact on the eyelashes especially in front of the camera.
