Assessment, my partner's design on her

Finally I have completed my assessment. Looking at the end results am very pleased with myself. I feel that i have captured my partner's design well. The one thing am very happy about is the eyebrow. This is because during practice i found it difficult to create the brow to my partner's liking. This goes to show that practice makes perfect.

Assessment ( my design) done by my partner

For the final look, i am pleased to say that my partner executed the look as instructed in the practice session. She has fully captured my vision and demonstrated her skills well. However, i would have loved to see the eyebrows completely covered.

Practicing my partner's eyebrow and lips: Practice 3

 

The main aim today in my practice session with my partner was to make the eyebrows perfect. On reviewing the pictures taken during practice, i noticed that the eyebrows were not as perfect as i would have liked them to be. Am not the only one that noticed, Sharon our tutor noticed It as well. I must admit that i have struggled with the eyes and eyebrows and therefore i had to do more practice in oder to get it right.
Also on our previous practice meeting my partner and i agreed that we needed to include a red lip.
The red lip definitely made the look better, and it also made my partner look more sophisticated.
By the end of our practice session my partner and i were satisfied with the look. We agreed that nothing needed to be changed anymore. Finally the look was to my partners expectations.

Three brush challenge

 

 

The three brush challenge involves using three brushes to do a makeup look.
For today's lesson, i used three brushes to do my partner/model look. At first i shied away from the idea that i could use three brushes to do an overall makeup look. My first challenge was choosing which brushes to use. I ended up choosing the the foundation brush, the contouring brush and a small brush.


I then washed my hands, gowned my model and did a skin consultation.

To start with, i mixed the foundation and the primer together, and applied it on my model's face, using the foundation brush. With the contouring brush i used it to blend the makeup well so as not to have any lines. Using the same brush i contoured my model's face using a dark bronzer. I pinched the brush to make it small enough to be able to apply the bronzer at the side of my model's nose.
With the small brush, i used a light colour eyeshadow to apply on the inner corner of her eyelids and also to highlight the bridge of the nose. With the same brush i applied a darker colour eyeshadow to the outer parts of the eyes to create a settle smoky eye look,  and also used it to apply the lipstick.

Using three brushes was not as bad as i thought it would be. I realised that i have actually used three brushes in the past without even realising it.
  

My partner's look practice 2

In practice today, my partner made a few changes in her design. She kept the foundation, the eye and eyebrow makeup and also the cheeks, but she decided to changing the lips. She wonted to keep the lips simple and stained like in the elizabethan portraits. However after we finished the look we felt that a red lip would look better. Therefore on the next practice session we will try out the red lips look and see if it looks better or not. this will help us decide which look to stick with.

The one thing she emphasised on is that i needed more images of practice look done in my own time.  Also she said i needed to include my practice session in the blog.
