Three brush challenge

 

Three brush challenge 

using the only the rounded blending brush the foundation brush and the angled brush i was able to create a pop art makeup design.

Firstly I used the foundation brush to apply the white Illamasqua matte skin base to the face and the ears, i was aware that I had to apply a base colour to the neck but due to my client suffering with exzema i did not apply any products to this area.

Using the angled brush and the black supracolour i then started to draw lines around the features in order to make my client appear more cartoon.

Finally to using the blue and red supracolour and the rounded blending brush i created the dots on my clients face and applied colour to the tear underneath the eye and the lips 

overall i was really happy with my design i feel i have made a significant improvement with my application of makeup since I first started the course in September . The only thing i feel i could have improved on was making the dots on the face more even . I  also found i made a good choice of the threw brushes i used and found it generally quite simple to create a makeup look using the brushes of my decision .

Evaluation

Technical file evaluation

The technical file which we created over the semester, includes in depth information on the basic techniques we learnt such as contouring the face and applying foundation to the face. By including information on the techniques which we learnt each week this conveys to my tutor the clear understanding I have on how application of makeup, as well as being a good guideline to refer back to .

In the technical file I also wrote a short evaluation on how I felt about the overall outcome of my work, this conveys to my tutor what I feel I am confident with and what improvements I need to make. The photographs in which I take each lesson of my work also allows my teacher to compare my work to my evaluation, it also allows me to refer back to my work which I have previously created and compare it to the level of work I create.

In my technical file I also included face charts in which I created in order to portray my designs,  by listing the products used on the side of the chart it acted as a reminder so when creating the face chart on the face I was apply to remember what products to use .

The client consultation sheets  which I have included in my technical file also acts as a reminder on what products to use on each client in order to complement the skin.

By including information about the health and safety this shows that I have a clear understanding  of the safety needed in the studio , this helps me  to remain professional.

Final evaluation

Overall I am very happy with the amount of progress I have made since I first started the hair and makeup course at the beginning of September, I feel  that  I  have made a significant improvement on my application of makeup techniques particularly with my line work , which I had difficulties with during the dawn of the dead makeup week.  After practicing my line work several times I now feel more confident with applying designs to the face .I found the skills I learnt during this semester very useful. During the new Elizabethans topic I particularly enjoyed researching  the Elizabethans and found their interpretation on how to apply makeup to the face during their era  very fascinating. Even though I enjoyed researching about the Elizabethans I found we had a significant amount of coursework to do each week which I found overwhelming , however due to spending several hours an evening  doing the coursework  I felt I managed the workload well.

For my final design I wanted to incorporate Textures and materials from the Elizabethans clothing as well as the elements of a simple Elizabethan makeup into my final contemporary Elizabethan design, As a result I felt I demonstrated a clear understanding of the new Elizabethans .Overall I really enjoyed the new Elizabethans project and I am looking forward to the gothic horror topic which we will be learning next semester

Timed assessment in the role of the designer

Timed assessment in the role of the designer.

For my final Elizabaethan contemporary makeup look   i wanted to incorporated texture and materials from the Elizabethans clothing into my design .

applying the base colour

Apply the matte illmasqua skin base colour which is quite a pale colour to the face neck and ears, then blend out using a buffer brush once the product looks even on the face seal the makeup using the white illamasqua loose powder roll this onto the face using a sponge.

applying colour to the cheeks

For my final design  i wanted ot include a subtle colour to the cheeks, using the illamasqua pink from the blusher pallet apply the colour using the kryolan blusher brush to the circles of the cheeks, then using the kryolan glamour glow pallet apply the summer tan colour to blend out the pink and highlight the cheekbones.

applying the lace texture
next using the lace material to act as a stencil hold the fabric in place starting from the top centre of the forehead and suing the the roudned blending brush and the black pepper colour from the kryolan pallet stipple the colour into the face to create a prominent texture , carry this process out from the top centre of the forehead to the jawline on the right hand side of the face. The using the same technqiue apply several flowers from the lace fabric to the face using the black pepper colour and the red youth blush from the kryolan pallets this will help to create more design on the face. Finally apply self ahesive pearls to the centre peice of the flowers to make the design look more complete .

applying colour to the eyes

first apply a brown from the illamasqua pallet to the eyelid then using the black from the illamasqua pallet in order to create a smokey eye effetc highlight the socket area of the eyes, blend the colours well together using the roudned blending brush, the apply a white from the neutral illamasqua pallet just underneath of the brown line , using the black gel illamasqua eyeliner, highlight the lash line.Finally to complete the eyes apply white from the supra colour pallet to the eyelaashes using a  dissposible mascara wand.

applying colour to the lips

firstly outline the lips using a black lip pencil then using a dark red from the kryolan lip pallet apply the colour evenly to the lips and blend the colour together with the black lips liner in order to create an ombre effect on the lips.


After my partner practicing my design several times in lessons i altered my design particularly the positioning of the lace until i was happy with the look. On my original design the lace was positioned across the forehead just above the eyes however i felt this did not work well with my design. Due to practicing my final design in lessons i felt this helped my partner to become more confident with my final design  and focus on improving on elements which she struggled with .

For the timed assessment i created a face chart of my final design with the products which i used listed on the left hand side, i also wrote a thorough tutorial of how to create my design with step by step images on how to create the look .

Peer evaluation

I felt during the timed assessment my partner managed her time sufficiently and executed the design I had created well. The factors I felt she carried out successfully was applying the base colour and creating the lace texture effect on the face this was due to good communication between me and my partner as well as practicing my final design several times meaning that we were able to focus on practicing elements of my design which my partner needed to improve on and also altering parts of my design until I was satisfied with the final outcome.

The colour applied to my eyes I felt was blended well together creating the Smokey eye requested I wanted and the colour application to the lips were neat, although the liner and lip  colour could have been blended together better in order to create a prominent ombre effect.

I felt my partner made a good attempt at applying colour to my eyelashes, meaning that all the eyelashes were covered evenly some of the colour spread around the eye but my partner managed to correct this by blending the colour in underneath my eye and applying more of the  colour on the eyelid.

My partner struggled with applying the adhesive pearls to the flowers on my  face this was  due to the amount of powder applied to my face meaning the pearls kept falling off.

Overall I was very happy with the outcome of my design however , I felt my partner could improve applying more base colour to the neck.
