Timed Assessment - In the Role of the Designer

Overall I'm happy with how my design is been created and I think Samara did a great job and creating my design to the best of her ability, She was very professional when she was creating the look however I was slightly anxious about the time however she got it all done in the given time period. The nose contour is amazing and white base is extremely even, she also remembered to blend the white base down the neck and onto the ears which was what I wanted. 

One improvement would be the eyebrows as I would have preferred them slightly lower down which would have helped blended the eye shadows better, I personally think the eye brows were always going to be the hardest thing as the designer meant creating new eyebrows on top of the blocked out eyebrows. I feel the eyebrows look slightly Ronald McDonald like as they are very rounded which I would have liked them more straight, however I know the eyebrows were always going to be the difficult part as I am to much of a perfectionist when it comes to my own eyebrows. I think I would have liked slightly more lip colour and a little more blush. 

Putting that aside I loved everything else and she did an amazing job at blocking out my eyebrows as she was very nervous about doing that, so we made sure to practice so she could do it on the day and she did great. I've really enjoyed working with Samara for this entire project. 

'Elizabeth The Golden Age' Makeup Comparison

I think there are a number of similarities to my final design and the make up Cate Blanchett wore for example the typical pale skin that is nearly white. Another similarity is the use of the same colour blusher on the lips and on the cheeks. Another is the eyebrows you can hardly see them which is what I incorporated into my design as I blocked out the eyebrows.

The differences with my design as the make up Cate wore in the film to portray Queen Elizabeth I is the dramatic contouring of the nose in my design also the use of fake lashes and black mascara in that era they didn't wear mascara. Another difference is the fact I decided to create new eyebrows which are very bold.

I was research Elizabethan Inspired Makeup and I came across this photo shoot Alex Box did the make up for. I instantly thought Elizabethan just from the colour of face which is white, this was very typical for the Elizabethan era. I created my face chart before I came across these images and thought it had a lot of comparisons to the work by Alex Box for example in my design the skin is very pale also the eyebrows it looks as if Alex has blocked out the eyebrows and created eyebrow higher on the forehead again this is very similar to my design as I want to create new eyebrows however mine are drawn on top of the blocked out eyebrow.
