Final evaluation


In general I am very happy to be in Solent University. It was a wonderful journey in these three months. Time passed so quickly, but I learned much about English culture and Southampton city, which is a lovely place to live.
I came here to learn more about the makeup and hair and get better skills in practice of doing it. I have attended in all lectures not only because I was thinking about the attendance, but I found it very interesting. I have been attending in every lecture with a joy and interest to learn something new. I have enjoyed exploring about Elizabethans era as well. I learned what cosmetics and what kind of hairstyle people had in the past. I also like an idea working in groups. Consequently, I got better communicating skills. Unfortunately, it was not easy for me to write bloggs. The fact that I am not English bothered me to express my thoughts. I hope after a while it will be much easier. On the other hand, I feel I have done a good combine between traditional Elizabethan and contemporary look. I had so many makeup ideas, that it was complicated to stick on one makeup chart. I always wanted to try something new. Even so, I learned how to work on one idea and make it even better. I relly enjoyed of doing different style makeup and looking forward to learn something new.

Final look and assessment (parter design) evaluation


My partner for the assessment was Antonela Coric. At first me and Antonela practiced a simple makeup on each other. We wanted to get to know each others face and get an idea for the assessments task to create a contemporary Elizabethan. Antonela explained what makeup she wanted and we discussed how I must do that it would look perfect.
On the assessments day I was prepared and quite confident about everything. I put the black towel on the table and I placed my all cosmetics and brushes I needed for Antonelas makeup.I attached the chart and notes on the mirror to remind me what to do. We had to wear black clothes to look professional, so I wore black top, pants and shoes. My own hair was tight back as it had to be. Our lecture was looking at our stations and marked down how we were working.
Generally, our assessment went well except the day when I had to be makeup artist and had to take picture of my work. We all have used one camera as last time, because of running time. However, it was something wrong with cameras settings, that is why my pictures are a little bit blurry. This is how we learn from our mistakes.
Anyway, it was great to work with my partner Antonela, because she attended in all lectures and we had enough time to practice our projects. And here is a result of my work.

Practice for contemporary Elizabethan look


This is the first Antonela's look for contemporary Elizabethan. Her inspiration is Rihanna. Antonela used brown colors, because it reflects Rihhana's look. Sue told to Antonela to change something, that would look more Elizabethan.





Antonela created new look, which is looks more Elizabethan, because she used brighter blusher, lighter foundation and gold color for the lips and eye corners. It gives liveliness and splendor. So it is her finally look. 
I should work more on the cheeks. It is quite hard to make a symmetrical blush on the cheeks.













I took a picture with flash to see if the makeup (cheeks) still visible exposure to the light. As you can see, I need to apply more color on the cheeks.
