•              Cleanse, Tone and Moisturize skin.

•               Remove any mascara with baby bud

•               Apply Matt Primer all over using foundation brush.

Step 2

•               Making sure there is a sure divide in colour, apply white foundation to the top part of the face/over the eyes and on the nose. Use sparingly and let the coat build slowly NOTE - do not apply to much, keep buffing into the skin.

•               On the lower part of the face, add MAC Face +Body foundation and blend slightly where the two different foundation tones meet.

•               On the neck and ears apply white foundation and do the same buffing technique as before.

•               Using the eye Kohl, draw on the inside of the eye

•               Apply ‘barely there’ pink eyeshadow to the lid, with the blending brush

Step 5

•               With the Cream Blusher, apply with a contour brush and blend high up on the cheeks and following the cheek bone 

•               Add translucent powder on top

Self Evaluation:

My initial reaction to my partner's design was that it looked fairly simple and achievable yet still effective. I felt that I could confidently create this look. Unfortunately I was unable to practise this look on my partner. We had plans to practise on the weekend before the assessment but there was multiple miscommunications so I ended up practising the look on myself. My partner sent me images of the look she had practised on herself and the facechart, so this helped me a lot. I also offered alternatives to the look which my partner really liked so we used these for the final look.

Whilst practising this look on myself, I noticed that the white base didn’t sit on my skin very well. It made my skin incredibly shiny, so I experimented with powder. This made the look a lot better so we decided to use that in the final design. Before the assessment, I noticed that on the skin consultation that my partner has fairly dry skin. We still used the powder but it made her skin look a little ‘caked’ and a bit dry. But thankfully this didn’t show up in the photos at all and ended up looking really effective.

All of the techniques in this look were fairly straight forward as they have all been practised in class before. This gave me a lot of confidence in producing the look and I felt my partner was really happy with the outcome.

I really liked the final outcome for this look. I felt it complimented the hair nicely and it fitted the brief really well. I felt like I managed my time well enough to create the intended look comfortably.
