Final Design

I wanted to do one final face chart to show any final changes in my design.

In comparison to my previous face charts, I mixed my foundation colour that will be used in the assessment and applied it as the base instead of just using the Illamasqua skin base as I have done previously. I hadn't done this previously as my partner and I hadn't made a final decision on what will look best with my design until our last practise. I think that using the actual foundation colour looks a lot better on the face chart, as it makes it look more like a 'human' rather than just a face on a piece of paper as it had done previously. Furthermore the contouring blended in a lot better with the colour and didn't stand out as much. 

Another difference in this face chart is the freckles. In my tutorial with Sharon she said that the gold freckles didn't show up at all, so I made the decision to use 'Buck' from the Naked palette as a base colour for the freckle and then add the copper on the top. My partner and I are practising again before the final assessment so we will test this out to see whether it will show up on the skin better. I think that if it works it will look really nice as the freckles will show up but still have a slight hint of copper to them, which is what I wanted from my original design.

After my tutorial with Sharon, she also mentioned about bringing the gold up higher on the face so that it was more visible. I did a practise of this to see what it will look like on my face and I thought that it looked really good so I brought this into my design. I think that it looks a lot better on the face chart in comparison to my previous designs as it creates the 'ruff' effect that I wanted more than if the gold stopped below the jaw. I think the tricky elements of the design will be getting an even line for the end of the ruff so that it is symmetrical along with drawing on the veins so that they look realistic and not 'tree-like'. 

I think having an extra practise before the assessment will be of great help to me and my partner so we can go over the elements that have changed. Furthermore I think it will allow us to perfect and go over anything that Billie feels uncertain about and needs extra practise on.
