Final Evaluation
I've really enjoyed this project, its been stressful at times but its University it wasn't made to be a walk through. Below is my Evaluation of how I feel the projects gone of course knowing me I could of gone on all day but here is a summery of everything.
♡
Final Evaluation
Throughout the project me and Anna have been working extremely hard within our dedicated to
each other and with our time management on practicing in out of lesson times. I have felt truly
excited to be working on ‘The New Elizabethans’ a era that has always mesmerised me. I have
immensely enjoy myself in lessons creating the Elizabethan looks and get on with all my class, For
the blogging part I’ve also enjoyed I have realised I really enjoy the writing aspects of this course
so far. Speaking what in my mind. There’s been a lot of work but I’ve been trying my best to be on
top of it, My time management especially within Makeup has be the best I’ve had in a while. My
partner ship with Anna at first worried me being such a perfectionist it was scary having to depend
on her to make my design come to life. The final imaging I’m not actually sure about I don’t think it
does the makeup any justice when it fact in the studio I was pretty happy. Me and Anna have
practiced a lot at mine so all I could say about my design and what I had wanted was all I could do.
For my turn as the designer I thought our partnership were pretty organised and we both came with
the bits we had arranged to. I just wish the final image could of reflected how hard we had worked. ♡
Bibliography
As follows is the bibliography of the blog. All the websites and books I used to complete my workings.
The website I used to complete this was RefME is extremely simple to use and helpful especially if you have a long bibliography you need to do in not a long amount of time. The sight also uses Harvard Referencing

Anna's Design
This is a photo copy of the original face chart
Me and Anna had Practiced her look many times; I feel like her design was more traditional in its creation with colours but was modern due to the heaviness of it, Anna wanted heavy smokey eyes, red lips and heavy contouring on the cheeks. Applying the makeup went well. Anna was happy with her makeup and I think overall it has been photographed well. Notice the inclusion of pearl earrings that really help support the 'New Elizabethan' look.
The Finale - Me as designer
It was my turn to be in the hot seat and watch my partner do my design onto my face. To be fair by the time the actual assessment had come around we had practiced so many times I wasn't worried all that need to be at that little lit up work station was there.
Consultation sheet
Step by Step
Facial Chart
& of course all the products and brushes that were needed to achieve my 'New Elizabethan' Design.
So there we went cracking in the two hour lesson we had to work away. The actual assessment went okay; this is our first tested practical so of course there was a few worried looks and shaky hands at the start but after a bit all was swell.
Being a designer has been fun I enjoy doing facial charts and researching inspired looks and icons I can incorporate into my design.
Both our time management and dedication with our partnering has be applicable I think we've both worked hard, Anna worked well to the step by step to. My favourite part of the entire look was the eye shadowing design it was so pretty and feminine almost reminded me of a delicate orchid. The look was very purple in it toning but the use of the contrasting line made it into something that wasn't just pretty. I wanted the line to make an impact as it does in my design but maybe using the Illamasqua liquid metal didn't give it the bang I needed.
The photos though I'm not sure what happened because they don't do the makeup any justice, the thing I could change would be the final images that were produced also the lip shaping but now I'm just being picky.

Face Chart's
As a makeup artist practicing or learning we all know the importance of using face charts in our work. Not only do they help design our looks but we can also use them as a guide to how the create the makeup especially if your a makeup artist on a shoot and another person playing role of designer has created the look.
"Where can I buy face charts that aren't mac" I hear you ask?
The website I use is called Pro Chart and they sell a array of different facial charts from A4 to A3 to even eye charts. I charts myself brought were the 35 pack £12.50 pack due to finding a A4 sizing is easier to work with especially if your working in a studio with limited mirror space.
I also brought a pen that is called a 'Eyelash Pen' which is really good for filling in eyebrows/eyeliner and eyelashes. Don't panic about buying this £2.99 pen though any graphic/drawing pen would also be preferable to presenting the same finished look.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has a interest in using face charts in their work not only is the price of these pretty great but the quality of the paper is a high standard being expressed on the website as recycled and textured.
Product listing is also included which is helpful is a look requires a lot of mixing or thats just the way you work.
You can find the website here. check it out!

Elizabeth I Smallpox
1562 At the age of twenty-nine Elizabeth taken ill at Hampton Court Palace, many thought she had a bad cold and would die but fortunately Elizabeth did not but ended up having small pox a hideous infectious disease that causes thick, opaque fluid to form in bumps over the skin and even in the mouth.
Thank god the disease was eradicated in 1979, the scarring which small pox was pretty severe luckily though Elizabeth is described after as not being to scarred compared to her poor nurse Mary Dudley who was also her lady in waiting became badly disfigured after catching it the poor woman; Her husband Sir Henry Sidney recorded her appearance....
The poor mans even quoting from the bible.
Elizabeth's scaring is proclaimed as not heavy though that can't be clear due to the fact she wore a heavy skin base anyway whenever in the public eye, I'm sure she was no Cate Blanchett though.

| A child with Small Pox |
“When I went to Newhaven [Le Havre] I lefte her a full faire Ladye in myne eye at least the fayerest, and when I retorned I found her as fowle a ladie as the smale pox could make her, which she did take by contynuall attendance of her majesties most precious person (sicke of the same disease) the skarres of which (to her resolute discomforte) ever syns hath don and doth remayne in her face, so as she lyveth solitairilie sicut Nicticorax in domicilio suo [like a night-raven in the house*] more to my charge then if we had boorded together as we did before that evill accident happened.”http://www.oxforddnb.com/templates/article.jsp?articleid=69749&back=&version=2007-05
