This is my final look:

 The hair design was already pre curled so I placed it in a hair rat with the curls coming from behind to the top. I then let the curls at the front come down and placed a red ribbon at the front of the design. After looking at my practise design and how she created it I made the hair rat look more rolled than high and sectioned the hair much better. If I were to do this again I would sweep the hair over the rat better by moving the hair once it was in its style, teasing it with a hairpin then placing it in.

Self evaluation:

My Initial reactions to the design were that it is very quirky and different from any Elizabethan design I had seen but understood the concept of the ‘Contemporary Elizabethan’ by the white base against the normal skin tone which shows a contrast between the Elizabethan era and the era we live in today. I liked on the hair design the use of a hair rat and the ribbon that would be used as an extra accessory.

My main corners for the hair design was that I wasn’t sure if curling the hair on the day would be right as it can take up a long time. The main concerns were for me on the make up was how I would get the base right.

The techniques I learnt while practicing this design were how to make something different on the base stand out more by using extra colour and making sure you buff in the product so the application looks refined, I also learned about making lines on the face against the normal colours by clearly showing the difference between the white and normal base.

Other techniques I have learnt are how to shape the lips and to angle your lip brush in a certain way to follow the line and draw extra attention against the skin. With the hair I learned how to use a hair rat and sectioning the hair when putting the hair from the back forward, I also learned how to disguise the hair rat when placing it into a roll shape and making sure the grips and pins were disguised too.

What I would improve for next time would be for the hair rat to be more secured and for the hair to be looking naturally swept over the rat. For the make up I would make the eyelashes look bigger by using more mascara.
