I have now came to an end of  ‘The New Elizabethan’ project and I am really happy with the overall process of it. I have not only enjoyed being on the make-up artist side but also the designing side of it. I have picked up new technical skills and having the chance to be a designer I have learnt how to communicate well with others. I am more confident in speaking out loud and going with my own choices instead of being wary in what I decide. I feel as though I have done well with working with another student and following their design. I have never done a blog before and I have exceeded my own expectations in how well I have done this, I found it hard to get to grips with it and hard managing the time to do so but I have caught up and am really pleased with my end results.  I have learnt different ways on how I can turn a traditional make-up into a contemporary one, which will be a useful skill and also learning why it is important to have research behind the project.

Overall I have really enjoyed this project and am happy with my end design as I feel I have created a good mixture of traditional and contemporary style. I am sad to see this project come to an end but I am happy to get started on a new project.

Timed Assessment- Designer Role

Timed Assessment- Designer Role

On the designing side Ross executed my design perfectly, he was really professional throughout the practices and assessment and I was really pleased to have him as my partner and make-up artist. He has came a long way from the beginning from not having a make-up background he has shown his skills and techniques he has learned and won't shy away from being pushed out of his comfort zone to try something new.

Their are certain aspects from my design he has just pushed through and had a go, this would be with the gold leaf as he had never worked with this product before and done really well in listening to what I wanted. I was really pleased with the overall out come of the make-up as he followed my designs and what I wanted perfectly. The adding of the Gold Leaf wasn't added in exactly the same places as the first practise of it but I understand as I the Gold Leaf is tricky to stick on, unpredictable and in all the same you could't really tell as they both look the same make-up.

He gets an 'A' for effort for meeting up and communicating with me about the designs, he would spend time to meet up and practice and have time to chat to share different ideas. He is  good team member and would always help  and give me advice if I needed it.

I have to own up and say I wasn't a very good team member on assessment day as I had gone out the night before and came in late with last nights make-up on. I was extremely apologetic but I was really out of line for doing this as I had not only jeopardized my own work but also Ross's and it was very inconsiderate of me. He had to clear all my heavy make-up off which took up his valuable time which was suppose to be spend doing my design. He kept his cool, had a laugh and was relaxed throughout the whole assessment he didn't rush through anything and was really professional. He had completed the make-up in the time we had and I was really proud of him, even when I had made a big mistake.

The application of the make-up was spot on and he overcame every obstacle. He has a very good manner about him which shines and his technical and practical skills where excellent. He is a quick learner and I believe he will go far in the future.

Timed Assessment- Role as Make-up Artist 

Ross has done really well with his design and it has reflected the project brief perfectly. He has shown the modern and traditional aspects and used numerous skills and techniques we have learnt throughout the course on his design. He has dug greatly into his research for his character and it shone through his design and it brings the character to life.

His ideas where quite Gothic which links in with the characters background, he has also added splashes to the face which has brought in an different technique, these splashes where quite unpredictable and would go everywhere so round the temple area I had decided to use tissue and hold it along the sharp blended line and splash the paint on then so it gave a sharp edge.

When doing the first practice Ross hadn't written the products he wanted to use down and was telling as I went through the make-up what ones to use.  I noticed that I had some similar colours that where from my own kit and knew they would work well with his design. I discussed what he wanted from the look which colours and how he would like it and he was happy with me to add some of my own products and trusted that it would work well. and he was happy with the end results.

Through the next practices I would check that he was pleased with everything and making sure he didn't want anything changed. He had made a netted head piece and neck ruffle to add to the make-up which where amazing and just pulled the whole make-up together. We wasn't sure how to stick down the front of the head piece as he wanted it sticking to his fore head. I had suggested spirit gum which was another product I had in my kit other than a glue stick he had suggested as I knew the spirit gum 

was more reliable as I had used it before.

Overall I wouldn't suggest any improvements for his design as I believe he has done a really great job, I would just recommend he write down the products used as I know he could remember them but it is just better to straight after make time to write them down. We worked well as a team meeting up for practises, keeping in touch anyway possible and sharing any new ideas that came into our heads, we helped each other out and reassure one another we where doing a great job.

He was really pleased with the way I executed the make-up and I was really happy with how well it went. I would love to be a make-up artist for Ross again as he is a really good designer and an overall amazing person.
