Final Evaluation

I have enjoyed this project, and I think that I have come a long way since the beginning of the year. As I have never studied makeup before I'm really impressed by what I have been able to achieve in this project. At the beginning I was very apprehensive about starting the course as I didn't think I would be as good as the others, even though we all have our strengths and weaknesses.

I'm really proud of the final result for Billie's makeup design. I think that we worked really well as a team and communicated our ideas for our designs well. She was also very enthusiastic about meeting up in our spare time to practise our designs so we could perfect the technique. If we had any problems with the design, which we did, for example; blocking out Billie's eyebrows and the tears. I think that by changing her design to adapt to my skill set it was really helpful of Billie and I was able to do a better job because of this. I really like the final images from the makeup assessment. I think that I did well on Billie's design, even though there are elements that I wish I had done better. I think that I got the placement of the tears right and they do look like she is crying, however I wish that I had gone over the tears again to make sure that they looked a bit darker. If I had done this it may have looked more fake rather than the authentic look Billie wanted in her design.

I think that Billie really did well with my design, especially as I had to change it numerous times. I think in the assessment she did all the elements of my design in the time and the final images look really good. One element that I particularly love about the final look is the very full on, brushed up eyebrows, I think it creates a nice contrast against the structure of the gold on the neck.

I think that if I was to do the project again, I would change my design slightly so that I would be able to have the veins as the ruff on my neck instead of having a base colour. I think that I should've looked at other colours to use, possibly exploring the option of using blue, so that it would still have the symbolism that I wanted, but would show up on the skin.
