Timed assessment – in the role of the Make-up artist

I really liked the way that this look turned out. Fatima's design was really interesting and I really liked the idea of using the purple/red shades for contouring as well as on the eyes as it looked really intense. I also really liked her idea of using the gold leaf down one side of the face as it gave the effect of the gold while still being able to see the make-up clearly.I think if we were to do this assessment again, I would like to put more practice into the contouring, as it's quite harsh, it can be difficcult to know exactly how much of the product to use.

Timed assessment – in the role of the designer/assessor.

I feel that Fatima did really well with my design and it turned out just like I'd imagined it and it looks just like the facechart. We practiced the look before the assessment but think if we were to do it again I would like to put more time into practicing for the assessments. I also would've looked for a gold product to use for the tears under the eye as the gold Supracwolour didn't show up as well on the pale base. This was something that I should've looked into more before the assessment.

Below is the assessment form I filled out for Fatima's assessment. I felt that she did really well and would probably grade it as an upper second. I feel that she put a lot of research into creating her design and her assessment.

My Final Design

This was my final design idea. I decided to have the base as the palest shade in the Kryolan foundation palette mixed in with the white Supracolour to pale it out more. The eyelashes and eyebrows will also be done with the Supracolour. The smokey eye was done using the gold/brown shades in the MAC Palette. I kept with the idea of using the gold Supracolour under the eye to create the tear and on the middle of the lips with the dark red around the corners of the lips. I also decided I anted to add more gold to my design so decided to add sequins to the edges of the eye. These will be stuck on in the assessment using eyelash glue.

Make-up Design Facecharts and Ideas

I created a few facecharts of ideas I had for make-up designs before coming up with my final design idea.

Originally I liked the idea of having tears drops underneath both eyes but after a while decided that it would look more effective and striking to just have them on one eye. I did really like the idea of a smoky eye though, being darker on the insides of the eye and using brown and golden shades to keep with the gold theme of my design. I liked the idea of a deep red lip as well as I feel the character I have chosen had quite a lot of darkness in her life but wanted to use a little bit of gold on the inside of the lip to have the gold theme running all the way through the design. 

Make-up Design inspiration

For my design, I wanted to reflect how Bess went through a lot of heartbreak losing four husbands and two children but also wanted to show how those marriages ultimately were the reason for her being so wealthy.

I decided that I wanted to do a tear design from the eyes but using gold to reflect wealth and money. 

These ere some of the designs that I got inspiration from :

My Lady in Waiting: Bess of Hardwick

Bess of Hardwick, also known as Elizabeth Talbot, Countess of Shrewsbury was an Elizabethan noblewoman. She married four times and became very wealthy through these marriages. Her first marriage was to Robert Barlow when he was just 13  and she was around 16. Robert died a year after the wedding and there is no evidence that they lived together as man an wife.

Bess was refused her share in Robert’s estate after he died and a court battle went on for several years before she was given her share and compensation.

Her second marriage was to Sir William Cavendish who was Treasurer of the King’s Chamber.  This marriage lasted ten years and she received the title Lady Cavendish through this marriage. Bess had eight of her own children with William, two of which died in infancy.

Her third marriage was to Sir William St Loe. She took on her third husbands two daughters on as her on after he died suddenly. It is believed that he was poisoned by his younger brother although this was never proved. After his death Bess became one of the wealthiest women in England and became Lady of the Bedchamber to the Queen.

Her last marriage was to George Talbot who was the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury and keeper to Mary Queen of Scots while she was being held captive. Mary Queen of Scots was to be put in the custody of Shrewsbury and Bess for 15 years and is believed to be the cause for them splitting up. She believed that her husband had had an affair with Mary. Although this is unlikely due to his poor health at the time. She spent a lot of time with Mary and together they produced the Oxburgh Hangings.
