Practices- Designing stage

Practice, Practice, Practice that what me and my partner have been doing since the setting up partners happened a few weeks ago; it wasn't until last week though when we were split into who would be makeup and designers first. For the first week I am the partner who has designed the look for myself and created templates and a set list of instructions for my Make up artist partner to commence with we also pretty standardly have done a consultation sheet on each other. I'm sure a lot of you can tell I can't wait for christmas break this year hehe. To be fair for tomorrow I don't feel like I'm freaking out me and my partner are prepared as much as we possibly can be; being honest about positive and negative things that could be adapted in my design itself

In one of the practicals we discussed all the 'Learnt' and 'Need to do' aspects of my design. On the first test practical we did I wasn't sure with the way the base had be applied for my skin is quite clear I though a heavy foundation base just looked unneeded with the rest of the makeup so after some adapting and testing I found to keep it light and buffed out which Anna agreed looked better.

I always wanted big brows a collect juxtaposition to the classical Elizabethan look; for a high fashion look and personal preference  I thought the design suited the strong-ness  including eyebrows would bring. Filled out lightly due to having dark eyebrows anyway and brushed upwards; In the actual practical I'm bringing in hairspray as after testing gels don't really work in ensuring the shape whilst hairspray also solidifies.

The eyes I'm really happy with Anna's blending is gorgeous and have no concerns for when she does the design tomorrow.

Lips are pretty much the same, except I have a staining underneath which I want pencilled in as it creates a larger lip (who doesn't want big lips)

So in all we have 2 hours to complete and shoot the look (Digital image lessons coming in handy there); the photography side has been aimed to take half a hour so in all after setting up we really have about a hour and 15. Thank god we've been timing our practices. 

We learnt from this practice that the Modern inspired line NEEDED to be blended of course if David Bowie was the influence it would work but he isn't; blend blend blend.

From What I was saying earlier about Eyebrows... big and bold, these I did on myself tonight is what I've designed/asked Anna to do.

Worked well so hopefully the looks we have both designed are completed like the image in our heads when its both our turns to step up and work on each other ☯
