Timed Assessment- Role as Make-up Artist.

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.
