Timed assessment,
my role as supervisor
watching my partner create my design...
Watching the process...
Evaluation:
During this assessment I watched my design be created by my partner Phoebe Jacob-Epstein. She was given an hour and a half to produce both my hair and make-up design. I chose my model to be Nicole Eyre's as I wanted my Sally Bowles to have the traditional dark brown hair however my twist was that she was keeping the length of it rather than making it into a common traditional bob.
Make-up:
I put up a face chart and step by step instructions for both the hair and make-up design and a product list. I worried that I had gone to much into depth with the description of each application as I didn't want my notes to look to intimidating to the artist however I wanted her to be able to refer to them whenever she doubted or misunderstood how I wanted something to be applied/created. I think Phoebe is a really talented make-up artist, each product applied to the face seemed to look better than my own application! She really buffed the foundation into the skin creating a really good base. However I don't think the lips ended up looking how I originally hoped they would. I'm not sure if that's because I didn't consider my models much fuller and bigger lips or that the shape wasn't as sharp and oval so the it didn't really show a heart effect. The sides of the lips which were foundationed and powdered were still fairly visible. I'd also have liked the face to have been highlighted much more heavily with the gloss. I think my partner was worried it wouldn't look good on camera but I more previous practice I know it seem's quite wrong and unnatural to add so much shine to the face but it pays off on camera.
Hair:
Hair was my biggest problem during this assessment, I really wasn't happy with the outcome.
My partner is much more confident with make-up than hair and doesn't really have much interest with hair which I can understand. But that's why I dislike these assessment when we swop designs and create each others. I understand that in the industry this is how we will apply and create design for certain companies or people but surely they will hire us only if were capable. Where as during these assessments some people are not capable of executing either a make-up or hair design that may be well out of their league, not at their fault but just at the stage there at ability wise. My hair design was meant to be much bigger at the front as it was meant to be pin curled and set like when we created the short bob. However my partner struggled to curl and pin the front of the head so in the end it only looks like the main bottom bits of the hair are curled giving it no historical reference or traits. I'm really disappointed with how the final images look and hope that my teacher's/assessors see that I my final images were not meant to look the way they do. The bigger curls on top of the head would have really brought the character and scene together as she was meant to be just stepping out onto the stage so hair would be massively big, wavy and curly with her paired theatrical make-up.
