Timed Assessment - In The Role Of The Make-up Artist

I think the designer did well in terms of coming up with an original design, which had elements of both modern society and the Elizabethan era. For example, the blocked out eyebrows were a good Elizabethan influence, and I liked the way in which she incorporated with this with a modern look, and that the design actually worked together, e.g. it did not look disjointed. 

The only constructive criticism I have is that perhaps the design was slightly too modern and that it did not incorporate enough Elizabethan influences. For example, the contouring, highlighting, smokey eye, false lashes and red lips all looked very contemporary, so perhaps the designer could've had a paler face, or red cheeks, or something slightly more traditionally Elizabethan. 

I found the designer very cooperative - she was able to clearly communicate her ideas both in class, and out of class (e.g. if I needed to ask any questions or practice), and she provided a good informative face chart throughout, as well as clear step-by-step notes for me on the day of the assessment. She was also willing to offer me any advice, and guide/inform me of how she carried out the make-up look the first time she tried it, and provided any extra products that I would need that were not in my kit. Overall, I would be very willing and happy to collaborate and work with my partner again.
