My partner for this assessment was Taylor Painting. I found working with her a bit complicated at te beginning, because of the language barrier, but as I improved my english everything went really well and we could clearly communicate what we want from each other. She was very well organized with her design work, as she bought me from the start every extra product I needed and the clear instructions to help me create her design. She was really understanding when I've made something wrong and really patient to explain me several times which helped me a lot.
Taylor was really professional when working and met all the health and safety requirements, putting the gown around me everytime so my clother won't get dirty, having her kit cleaned everytime and taking every health aspect into consideration, like creating me consultation notes, always asking me if I was feeling ok when she applied my make-up. She laid all her products in a very well organized manner and she asked me for extra tools when needed to create the best outcome possible.
Considering that Taylor hasn't got a make-up course before and this is her first time creating such a complicated design, I can say that she exceeded my expectations. She showed me that she wants to create the design exactly as I wanted, and I am really hard to please, but she did it. She worked really hard at this project and I really appreciate the effort that she put in practicing over and over again the whole design on me and on her friends, in her own time.Blending on two layered cream products that formed the base, applying the most super extra matte base with Supracolor and facepaint and setting with baby powder, and still achieveing a neat base is not easy, but she did a great job. However, even if she's at the beginning she still has to improve how much it takes her to do a full make-up and her lip defining skills, but I am sure that with time she will master these. One point to mention is that she helped me with some ideas, like the eyeliner that I've put in the design at the end, which was really helpful.
Overall I think that we've worked really good as a team and my partner did a great job doing my desingn. I am pleased by the final outcome although I wanted the final pictures at a better quality, but next time we'll take precaution measures.
Considering all of the above and the grading criteria I think that I would mark Taylor with an A3 - A4.

Critical evaluation of the project

When I started this semester I had no idea how I'm going to make everything work, because I didn't even know how to research properly. I've had another schooling system background and this project helped me to develop new personal skills as well as make-up skills. I've learnt how to be an independent learner, by going into the library and selecting the necessary information and by browsing the internet effectively. Also, I've realised that constant workig is necessary for a good result, but this only at the end of the semester. I wasn't so much into developing my own creative designs and actually doing research about make-up and the meaning behind it but more focused into developing practical skills, but now I know how important is to create a background when doing a new make-up so you know exactly why and how you transmit what you want to the public. Furthermore, drawing facecharts was a new concept to me, as I didn't draw one before. I found them really useful because now I can have a clear image of what I want and save a lot of time when working.

Creating a modern interpretation of a historical character was not easy for me, but I really tried my best. When I haven't found what I needed on the market, I've done it myself, like the accesories (the crown was handmade by me, the feahter eyebrows, the necklace).I have researched a lot about the meaning of certain colours, the meaning of certain accesories, so I could translate the moral features of my character into it's pshysical ones. I didn't found working to a brief really easy, as this restricted my imagination a lot, but also made me see new ways of creating something original from something that was done in the past. Also, working to other make-up artist design was really inconfortable at first, because I was used to use my imagination in everythig I did and now I had just to create what somebody else told me, but I got used to it. Maybe this was because at first I was afraid in working only with cream products, as I wasn't that good at cream contouring, but now I feel more confident about this and I feel like I've learnt more than I thought from this experience.

Overall, I am really pleased by how my design looked like in the end. Maybe next time I'll try to plan my practice, research and personal life time better, because I really struggle with time management.

Final photos of Taylor's design done by me

Unfortunately we had to wait a while until we took the pictures and because Taylor's design was completely cream-based, it obviously creased under the eyes. This didn't happen before because we took pictures right after the application, not waiting about 20 mins like we did on the assessment day.

Final photos of my design done by Taylor

I will put here three photos of my design because Taylor had a problem with the pictures when sending them and I was unable to get them at a good quality, so the picture I wanted as a front shot needed to be cropped and lost, again, of its quality and size. So to be able to see my full design, I'll put a photo with the front and the accessories, one with a close-up front shot and one with a three quarter side

Lia's 3 brushes challenge on me

Lia is such a talented girl! She did a pretty amazing job when doing the 3 brushes challenge on me. She managed to do this beautiful make-up only with three brushes and I really like the result. This was a super exciting task as we were free to choose our partner and finally did some beauty make-up.
