Partner - Rebbeca Southerden.
This week it was my partners turn to create my final contemporary hair and make-up designs. On Monday my partner created my make-up design which I overall felt went quite well. I feel that we spent enough time practicing my design in and out of practical sessions, and my design developed as we practiced. When we first practiced my design, I was happy with the outcome my partner had created but it became obvious that creating the clean, precise and straight lines in my monochrome makeup look was difficult. Because of the black and white colours in my look, the line that separated these two colors from my lip, had to be very clean and precise which was difficult to create free hand so any mistake made would show up.
To my partners best efforts, she could not create the perfect line I wanted free hand, so we both agreed that a stencil of the shape I wanted would be much more practical and save a lot of time. In response to this I created a stencil for my partner and explained how to use it, she practiced this before the assessment in our practical session and it was very successful.
I feel that my partner listened to my ideas well and created the base and shape of my design well, I have always had confidence that my partner could create my design the way I wanted. Although, when we first practiced she followed my design correctly creating my desired base and eyes, but she did not create the lip shape exactly how I wanted. In response to this I explained to her again the shape I wanted and showed her so that she understood better what I meant. Because of situations like that I felt that our communication was very good because we always made sure that we understood each other properly.
In regards of time, my partner created my look fairly quickly as well as making sure the design was perfected and even. I feel that she made sure she spent the right amount of time on the lip area I designed, to make sure it was symmetrical and had a clean and precise finish. The only technique of hers I would change in regards to the look, is that she edited the shape of my natural lip slightly towards the end of the assessment as she felt it wasn't symmetrical enough. Although, I appreciate that she wanted it to look perfect, I felt that It was finished and looked good and due to her changing the lip shape slightly she had to change one side of the face to equal out the other. Although, this did not change or ruin the finished look, I felt that it was unnecessary as she had done well and it ended up taking a little bit of time away.
Also, I really liked the finish of the eye area my partner had created but, the small detailing of the color silver I wanted was a little too big. During practice sessions I had explained that I wanted a small precise line of silver underneath the eyes, so that It was subtle and almost invisible against the white base. In response to this I feel that I still liked the finish of the look but It was something that stood out a lot to me because my design was simple in terms of the amount of colors I was using. If this look was recreated I would suggest maybe using a smaller brush to create a finer line so that it wasn't as thick.
Overall I was very pleased with the final outcome of my look. I felt my partner had taken the correct amount of time to create my look in the final assessment and we also spent a practical amount of time outside of sessions to practice it. She used the techniques that I wanted and created the finish of different parts of my look the way I had explained e.g the black lips and white base. In regards to improving on my look I feel that corrections I would have made are very minimal and my final look symbolised and appeared how I wanted, this was confirmed by my peers who commented on my final look, describing it as creepy and scary.
