Practicing my Partners Design - Second Attempt

On this second attempt at Becky's make up design she provided me with both the face chart and a set of instructions to help guide me through the application process. 
Here is how I achieved the look, wight he help of Becky's Instructions:
 I applied red Supra colour over the face avoiding the eye and nose area where white would be applied. This would forms the red of the cracks created.
 I then applied the flour & water mixture to on top of the red supra colour making sure to go slightly beyond the line of the supra colour. I applied this is a slightly thinner coat then my previous practice to ensure the mixture would set in time.
 Around the nose and mouth area I stippled the mixture on rather than painting it on to create a very textured effect.
 I applied gentle heat to the mixture using a hair dryer on the lowest settings to speed the drying process. You can see above the mixture has dried and Ive been able to apply the white skin base in the eye area. I also applied white supra colour through the eyebrows against the natural growth to give the textured effect Becky desired. 
 In order to intensify the cracked effect I gently used my thumbs to pull apart some of the set mixture to create cracks in the mask. You can see I've also gone over the mixture using white skin base, however it needed another coat to reduce the pink coming through from the initial coat of red supra colour. 
 The cracking around the nose and mouth looked incredible, as if her skin was literally falling off her face. 
 Once I applied another layer of white skin base which I continued down the neck, I set with translucent powder all over. I then added the contour Becky desired using a mixture of two pink blushers from my palette.
 I applied the same blusher to the lips using a fluffy brush to colour them subtly. 



I was really pleased with the outcome and think it had improved since the first practice we had, overall i felt confident to be able to produce it on the day of the assessment. 
Becky was also pleased with the outcome and only made a few suggestions regarding blending the mixture further in to the hair line and not taking my cheek contour quite so far down the face. After speaking with one of our lecturers she decided she would like the flour mixture to be extended down to the knock gradually thinning out to make the look more finished. I took this on board with confidence for my assessment the following week.
