Timed Assessment Peer Review & Self Reflection as the Make Up Artist

The following post includes images from my timed assessment in which i was required to reproduce my partner's New Elizabethan make up design.

Self reflection as the MUA

Overall Im really pleased with how well the final look turned out because I think it looks really professional and well executed. I knew Becky's design very well which meant i was able to carry it out swiftly without much prompt from the notes and images she had provided for me. I am delighted with the flour and water mixture and the result created, I think through our practice sessions I mastered how to create the right consistency as well as the right amount to apply to the face. I absolutely love how the cracking effect has turned out in these final images, her skin literally looks like its been over processed and is falling off her face. Im slightly disappointed that I didn't continue the application of the white skin base around the back of the neck and shoulders as I feel you can see a little too much of Becky's natural skin colour. I also feel I've taken the contouring on the right side of the face in the image below a little lower than the left side which puts the look in a little bit of dis-symmetry. 

I feel that Becky's design could have actually done with a third layer of white skin base to intensify the white complexion as I think under studio lighting the pink under tones shone through a lot more than both of is anticipated. In future I will make sure to consider both mine and my designers looks in terms of artificial lighting environments.

Peer Review, Becky the Designer
Becky was a very clear and determined designer. I found her instructions to be concise and very well informed. She had practiced her design herself at home and therefore knew it very well. Becky was also very helpful in helping me to understand how to formulate the appropriate consistency of flour and water mixture for her design. Im struggling to think of anything Becky could have done differently in this partnership, the only thing I was slightly unsure of during the whole process was how far she wanted me to take the make up round the neck and down the chest, but again this is probably a mistake on both our parts. 
Overall Im really happy that I was paired up with Becky and I was able to complete this design because of it's extreme difference to anyone else's I've seen in the year group. I think the design is really artistic and very clever.
