peer review:

Overall I think Annie should be graded in the A3 - A4 marking band as her design skills are very innovative and creative. As a makeup artist she works professionally and efficiently with very good technique, executing my design brilliantly. After having a look at her blog I think she has very good knowledge of makeup techniques and historical contexts and the layout of her blog is precise and well presented.

Technical File Sign Off.

I am disappointed in my technical file sign off as I did complete all the work however I didn’t have photographs from the studio sessions and didn’t have time to replicate the looks in a studio format due to personal issues. I am proud of what I achieved this term and how far I have come as a makeup artist, regardless of the outcome of my technical file I am proud of the final makeup look I produced.

In reflection I will learn to take more time to take photographs of the things I produce in the studio as I can then pass my technical file.

Self Evaluation (250 words)

Self Evaluation.

Having never had a project brief based on a period makeup look I was very apprehensive to begin this project. However after having designed my look and practicing with my partner I have become very confident with the final look I created for Annie. The Lady in waiting lectures really inspired my design and spurred my look on to create a look based on the brief of 'New Elizabethan' while still taking elements from traditional Elizabethan makeup.
On a few occasions I couldn't come in to some of the lessons because of a personal issue which I think made Annie a little nervous for her design. However we rescheduled practices for different times  and practiced many times, which then allowed Annie and I to gain confidence in each others designs as well as helping us to create a close bond so that we could easily give each other constructive criticism which helped us in our designs.
I really enjoyed practicing and creating a design that wasn't designed by me as I have never done this before. I am really happy with how Annie's design came out in the final assessment as I practiced it a lot to perfect it and it really challenged my abilities as a makeup artist.
Overall I think I really pushed myself to be creative in this project as well as learning more about being professional when in a makeup artist role and a models role and how the two work together in the industry.

Peer Evaluation. 

Annie has been an enjoyable partner to work with and from the beginning of us working together we formed a strong bond which aided us in our work. Her enthusiasm and willingness to experiment with different ideas really helped me with my design process as Annie would often suggest things to me that could enhance my makeup look and we tried out many of her creative ideas in our practices. As a makeup artist she worked in a clean and hygienic environment and was very professional when completing the final makeup look that I  had designed. 

When we first trialled my makeup look the design had a white base which ended up looking very odd on my face and I think knocked Annie's confidence on my design a little bit. However Annie didn't let this phase her and in the second practice came back with more confidence after she had seen that I had redesigned my part of the look that included white base. I definitely trusted Annie's ability to perform my makeup look well and her blending skills are impeccable, as my look included lots of blending. In the final assessment Annie was able to create my look efficiently and very quickly as we finished first out of the whole group.  Overall Annie recreated my design to an amazing standard and I am really happy with how we worked as partners on this project.

Final Evaluation

My evaluation of Annie's Design.

After practicing Annie's design a few times I have become very confident with the design and colour blending. Below is the finished look, created and photographed by me. Both Annie and I are so pleased with the final look which I produced in plenty of time. I think Annie was very pleased with the outcome as I followed her  design specifications as closely as I could and made her feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the application process.  I think the colour pay off from the supra colour palette was really good and added to the overall finish of the makeup look. I really enjoyed this project and pushing myself to create something I wouldn't have designed myself. I was happy to try Annie's complex looking design and loved working with her as a partner.

 My Evaluation of my own design.

Looking back at Annie's final outcome of my design I am very pleased with the finished product that was created. Annie worked very quickly and efficiently with us being the first partners to finish the assessment both times. Her line work is impeccable and her blending  and colour graduation was perfectly executed in my eyes. Every step of the way Annie made me feel very at ease and happy with the look as she was very professional and confident with the design after our practices. The only problem we faced through the assessment was the fact that the eye makeup kept creasing on my eyelids. However Annie powdered them thoroughly but the makeup continued to crease so there was no way that we could really fix this problem quickly.  I'm really happy with the overall look and Annie's technical skill.

Annie Practices my Design 2:

Second trial of my design.

After my first design trial Annie and I were not very confident with the outcome of the look. Today when completing the trial I am now very happy with the look. Annie and I decided the white base was a bad idea because it looked really bad on my skin type and settled in the fine lines on the face. We changed this by using a full coverage foundation and concealer to help the other colours blend together well. 

The next thing we adapted was the eyebrows as i felt they darkened the look too much and didn't have a very Elizabethan feel to it. Adding white mascara to the brows completely lifted the eye makeup and changed the look and i much prefer it now the eyebrows have a lot of definition and stand out from the face.

 When applying the makeup Annie still used the cream bases and blended them thoroughly into the foundation. Her blending technique is very good and i am happy with the outcome of this. To prevent the creasing that occurred last time after using cream bases Annie powdered the places where the red cream product was with a  red eyeshadow and blended this out also to create a seamless look that didn't smudge and crease.

Annie and I were much happier with the look at this point but both agreed there was something missing and so decided to add the tip of a heart/ diamond to the middle of my forehead to create another heart shape and continue with the Elizabethan theme and colouring as well as adding more colour/ dimension to my face. I then pulled my hair into a middle parting in order to have a perfectly symmetrical face.

Annie and I then decided that the lips on my look were too light and so added black to the lips to  symbolise the bitterness that Lettice Knollys had in her heart towards Elizabeth and the jealousy and rivalry her and her cousin had.

          

Annie and I also decided we didn't want the face to be completely symmetrical as that doesn't portray lettice's character as the unbalanced person she was. So we removed the red contour from one side of the nose. This also symbolises the breaking of her heart as she lost children at young ages and during childbirth as well as her rumoured abortion.

The white slit down the eyes of my design is meant to symbolise the hope for love she has as well as a clarity and ruthless view of the world. Showing how she takes everything she wants from the world. Also showing how her personality is divided between good and bad.

Overall I am very happy with the finished and adapted design, the colour scheme and Annie's application and skill when creating and helping to adapt my makeup look. I am going to use this as my final makeup design.
