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.
