Makeup Artist: Phoebe Slee Designer: Philippa Mcgee

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.
