I found working with my partner quite difficult when it came to creating the final designs for the project 'New Elizabethans'. Trying to understand their designs and recreate it how they wanted to was hard as well as creating my own and getting them to recreate it exactly how i wanted it.
Communication was a big issue when i was working with my partner. I didn't receive her final design until very close to the timed assessment giving me only one practice to try out her face chart. This didn't allow for any time to improve on anything that she wanted changing as the next time i would do the design again it would be the timed assessment. I felt that there were occasions where i would come into class and she wouldn't turn up so i wasn't able to practice again.
When it came to my design we also only practiced it once as when we were able to practice in class, she didn't turn up. This was the most difficult thing as i didn't have much to do, because i has already practiced my design on myself and did not have hers to even practice either. I feel like this effected the outcome of my design as not all aspects of it were how i wanted the finished look to turn out like.
When it came to the timed assessment my partner forgot to bring her face chart in so i had to complete the look from memory. We had 1 photo on my phone of the practice before so i remembered how it looked, i just had to remember what products we used to create it.
For future projects i definitely think that i need more practice when it comes to my designs as well as my partners so that we can both achieve the best possible out come. This was the main set back of my project this time, if i had more time to practice and adapt my design i think it could have gone better.

Throughout this first project i felt like i have got a much better understanding on different techniques used and the way in which different products work. There are lots of different textures you can use and create in your designs and learning about all of these has opened my eyes to the possibilities for future projects.
At the beginning of the project i was very nervous to apply makeup to another person's face other than my own as i was scared i would do it all wrong and not make it comfortable for them, however from learning a lot from the lecturers and different techniques used i now feel so comfortable to do someone else's makeup and not feel as nervous.
I enjoyed researching about the Elizabethans throughout this project as the information i found out was very interesting. Seeing how makeup has evolved over time is crazy. I found it quite hard towards the end to find new information and sometimes felt like i was repeating myself from books and the internet, for my next project i need to try and use a lot of different sources in order to get better research.
I found it difficult working with a partner when we had to swap designs to create their looks. I didn't receive my design until close to the timed assessment so didn't have a lot of time at all to practice. I wanted to practice my design so that i could correct anything that didn't work with my partner and also vice versa with her design to check that everything was how she wanted it to work out.

The overall outcome of my timed assessment was good, however there were some parts that i think could have gone a lot better. This was due to the fact that we only had one practice of this makeup look. My partner did not turn up to some lessons where we could have practiced and when i suggested going in to practice she said that it will be fine and she doesn't need to practice anymore.
The makeup that she completed on me was very accurate to my face chart however, parts were just not how i wanted them to be. The ears were not covered with foundation and i had a really red ear on one side.
I wanted the design to look a certain way, blend a certain way and the colours used were very important as this related to my 'Lady in waiting' that i took inspiration from for this final design.

I wanted the eyes to be much more pigmented and blended a lot into the skin to create a very soft but bold look. The placement of the shadow would have been corrected also.
I wanted to have a very defined contour and not a lot of bronze on the skin, just contour in the areas that i had suggested on my face chart and spoke to her in person about.
The lipstick was not how i wanted it at all, she drew over my lip line and that is not how i wanted the lip to be. I wanted it to be within my lip line and softly blended on the edges, however it was applied with a lip brush and a harsh line outside of my lips.
The brows and white lashes went well and looked really good in the finished design.
I think this timed assessment didn't go as well as i thought it was going to purely because we didn't practice enough and i wasn't able to give feedback on the makeup more than once.

I am happy with the outcome of the creation of Philippa's design. I was nervous to do this as we only practiced it once.
The colours are all very bright and pigmented so that was the one thing that i was really worried about when it came to recreating her design as i needed to get it right because i was working with such strong colours. When we practiced once we didn't change anything as she said that is how she wanted it so i just made sure that i made notes of things from the practice run that i wanted to make neater in the final assessment.
The eyes were the most important as i wanted the orange colour to be extremely pigmented so that it was visible when photographed. Philippa didn't want to use any water with the eyeshadow to get it more pigmented as she wanted to keep it as a powder shadow, so to make it pigmented i made sure that i packed on the colour in layers until it was at the pigmentation i wanted it to be and even on both eyes.
When we first practiced the design the one element that was picked up on to improve was the eyebrows, Philippa has such dark eye brows it was very hard to get them even using the white supra colour. So when it came to the timed assessment i made sure that i took time and made them as even as possible.
The cheeks were extremely pigmented and the blush we used was very very strong so when applying the colour i had to be very careful. Trying to get them even was what i was trying to focus on but yet still keeping the colour very strong and vibrant.
