Timed Assessment
I graded Julia Lange B1-B3
Me as a designer reviewing the Makeup artist.
My partner was professional and done well in showing me the look she wanted with step by step notes and a face chart telling me the exact things to use, and this was good because it shows good communication skills and when recreating the look I think that my partner showed her skills in applying the makeup and when visualising what it would look like. My partner really thought about how she would approach the design and even used the initiative when couldn’t quite see what I wanted to achieve.
When approaching the project I think that my partner has gone about it professionally and has great potential as a makeup artist and used a lot of thought it my design of changing a few things with it that made it look better and if was a paid job she has gone about it very good. I was really happy with the application of the base and the timing of how she applied it and the she explained what she was doing every time she done it.
When it came to the assessment she was confident in the appliance and didn’t ask me what to do next I she had the step by step taped up on the mirror and had the space layed out for the tools needed.What I think that could be improved is the overall practice of the design, which I think would have helped more to really know what to do and that is a self criticism as well as I needed to practice hers to, to really be more confident and know exactly how I will do it.

Partner as designer assessing me as a makeup artist.
I graded Chloe Bourne D1-D3.
I think Chloe achieves basic competence in all the required specialised practical, technical and creative skills, with little awareness of professional contexts and expectations because she can carry out a basic application however her work station is unorganised and that can lead to cross contamination. I feel she also needs to improve her communication skills when addressing the model. She could move up a band if she reviewed health and safety and applied it to her practice.
She can communicate in an adequate way in most contexts, with some mistakes/irrelevances; work demonstrates adequate independence in addressing given objectives and taking some responsibility for outcomes; frequently relying on support/direction form others. My partner has produced help sheets for her design after I had asked her for one. Yet again waiting for the request. She could move up a band if she took an active part in the project.
Organisation and presentation of work and communications adequate in most contexts, with some mistakes/irrelevances. Limited application of learning to new contexts. Practical solutions, adequately evidenced. My partner often turned up late and sometimes didn’t have the products required for the session. She also occasionally forgot to follow though with application methods. It could easily be turned around if she took technical notes in class and organised extra practice sessions to set the knowledge.
I feel like after working with Chloe she could easily make a leap into a lower second if she applied her initiative. She has the drive and passion for what she is doing however needs to give herself more credit and trust her skills.
Evaluation
In this project I think that I did well with the research
and looking the different types of makeup that the Elizabethan wore and how
they did it, but most of all I liked the research for my own design. But when
it came to applying the makeup I think what I need to think about is the timing
of applying these materials. When it came to making my design I think I needed to
think more about how it would look as a final idea, because I think I could
have developed it a lot more in terms of how it would be applied.
Working with a brief is good, so then you can work from it
and know exactly what you need to achieve, but I don’t like to do that to much,
as then some things I might not have finished or I explore to much into it than
I should and go in a different direction, Which is what I need to work on for the
next time. But it is a good starting point to do this and I think I achieved
the Elizabethan design that I wanted.
For my partners design I thought that I needed to practice
it more to be more confident, as I was slightly stressed out as I couldn’t quite
make it look how my partner wanted it, so I think better communication would
have worked and would have had more time to perfect it, but I think I done well
as my first ever makeup assessment and thought about the skills that were
taught to us.

My makeup idea Research


Im looking at crumbling and make up dripping down the face, then i found this of a statue, but i like it, because of the cracking of the paint, but also is green and i have incorporated that into my design. I want to experiment more with it and see what it will do.

Elizabethan cosmetics
The ingredients in Elizabethan cosmetics that i have found are used by upper class women was Ceruse, which is a mixture of White Lead and Vinegar to apply to the face to whiten it,as a pale complexion was very desire, but it was very poisonous and caused lead poisoning and many women died, as they used it alot.
Other symptoms are hair falling out, teeth rotting and eyes would swell up and be inflamed.
Lipstick was added to the lips, which was made of cochineal and beeswax, but cochineal which was a beetle, which they sometimes used in some cosmetics today and it was to put onto the cheeks was made from mercury sulphide, which is poisonous, because it is mercury. Madder root was also used to acheive this as a ingredient.
For eyes they would use eyeshadow that was made from ground mother of pearls.
During this time this women did not bathe regulary, thought it weakened them and some people were scared of water, so instead of they used perfume that was made from rhubarb elixir and molasses water to cover their bad odour.

Symbolism in Portraits of Elizabethan Era
This phoenix in this image symbolises sacrifice and rebirth and is called the phoenix portrait painted in 1575 by Nicholas Hilliard. The other symbols are the roses on the dress, which is the tudor rose, which they showed a lot in that era, I like how the phoenix is in it and shows the rebirth of her and how she changed alot. I also think it is a amazing portrait becuase of the detail on the dress of all the jewels showing how wealth and how much authority as she has a black coloured dress on. Their alot of tudor roses on it where the phoenix is, and i like how it shows that. This one up close you cant see how old she is, but her face looks good in the painting considering what she done to it.
This symbolises that the queen has one foot on the map resting near ditchley and this means that it celebrates the queens divine powers and then next is the sphere on her ear which is celetial, which means that it is the command she has over nature itself, The background has two different images split on one side it is sunny sky and the other is a dark stormy sky and shows again how royalty has authority over nature. I like the background of showing these to split sides and shows the how much authority they had other things, i think the clothing is so amazing, shows how much she liked colour and shows what happened to her skin as she got older with all the white makeup she had applied for a long time.
In this the symbolism is that the Queen is the harbinger of peace, which is because she holds a olive branch in one hand and a sheathed sword lies at her feet to show that she has authority and would do anything to protect her land, i like this as the colours are slightly autumn tones of browns and whites, especially her dress, which was polish. I really like the background as it shows a another portrait other things that surround her and i focus on them as want to see what they are. But i like the dress she is wearing really shows her wealth and how handsome she was.

Day of the dead
With this we had to do a day of the dead design for halloween in the technical lesson in our own way and the products i used was Illamasqua Matte Primer first, then illamasqua skin base, then setting it with Illamasqua setting powder.
The blue and black was from Kryolan Supracolor Palette and i blended it to look like the blue melted into the black, i dont think the black on the lips went as well and were slightly rushed, as i need to think about timing and how i apply the products. I do like the design and looks slightly cartoon like to me, and i especially like the blue with the black, makes it stand out, and from some reason reminds me of the bride from the Corpse Bride, with paleness and cold blue colour. Was my own version and i hadnt done it before and i think it went well with the time i had, but if i did it again i would think about the way i would go about it more and how much time i take putting on each products, to save less stress next time.


Tudor Hair
In the Tudor times the hair was made to look lighter by using saffron, cumin seed, celandine, and oil, to get it more yellow. But they also had wigs to if you didn't want to spend time dying hair, but the upper class lady, you brought them, which Queen Elizabeth was said to have many. If they didn't wear hair pieces or wigs, they wore it long with head dresses over the top.

Applying the right base and other makeup
When applying makeup you have to use the correct products when applying it,as some do not work well with each other, such as when you are putting Kryolan Supracolor palette you dont want to put on top of Satin primer as supracolor is grease and will jsut come straight off.
Or even Aquacolor Palette as it is water based, will wipe off all that is underneath.
When putting Illamasqua or any matte primer, do not moisturise before hand as it is greasy and the primer is to do that anyway.
The best way to apply the skin base or any foundation is to work the foundation brush over the nose first and then over the forehead and then onto the cheeks, ears, neck, then eyes, as you start in the middle.
Then setting it with powder, which is Illamasqua setting powder and the way you can tell if it has cover the whole face and set it is by using the back of your hand to tell.
When getting the makeup out the palette use a wooden stirrer or scoop to get it and apply to the back of your hand.
Wiping out the palette with the alcohol brush cleaner is good to clean it, if you have used it with the brush straight from it, that way it isnt contaminated for when applying it to someone elses face.

When doing this i applied it without moisturiser and used the satin primer and feels dry when i put the illamasqua skin base on top, but i didnt blend it in properly, which is why it doesnt look right. So when applied the colour makeup, which was my partners own, that was called Elf and was quite shimmery and very powdery, it cling to the skin quite alot in places, so looked patchy and more like a mask, so i have learnt not to do that again.

Skin and eye Examples of contagious complaints
There are a lot of contagious skin diseases and these are some examples of what can happen and why you have to ask if allegic to anything or be careful when applying makeup on that person, as you are not sure what could happen, even if you can see it physically

Working on shaping the face
For this it was shaping the face and the products that were used was Illamasqua Satin primer, then the Kryolan foundation palette on the face, then setting it with the illamasqua powder, then for the cheeks with shaping was the Kryolan Glamour glow, the the contouring was the same but the slightyl darker tone, which was bronzing Agais.
I think in this technical, i need to work on the pace of how i do it and be aware of time, as didnt get to do all of it and what else is i should be more confident in applying these techniques, as if i did it again i would approve the timing and how i applied it.
Tools used
