Creating My Partners Design: Assessment Outcome and Self Evaluation

My initial reaction to my partners contemporary Elizabethan design is that it was a subtle and simple take on traditional Elizabethan make-up and hair with modern influences. She had chosen a complimentary colour scheme of green and red which reminded me of the Elizabethans, as red was considered to be a royal colour, and my partner had designed her face chart with red cheeks and lips which are very much Elizabethan inspired, and the gold detailing in the make-up also reminded me of the richness and royalty in the Elizabethan era.  My main concerns about creating the look were that the make-up was very simplistic so had to be executed very precisely and well as any mistakes would show up very obviously, such as a slightly wonky lip line or if the eye shadow wasn’t blended around the edges enough. I was also slightly nervous at first about doing the mascara as I initially found it difficult getting right to the root but after practice I now feel comfortable doing it. If it was my design I would have probably put more gold in the eyelashes to really make the eyes look bright and stand out. I could have perhaps improved my make-up application by doing a slightly finer gold line under the brow like I had done previously when practicing the make-up, and by slightly intensifying the green shadows on the eye.
