Sally Bowles Assessment Final

These images are of my Sally Bowles Contemporary final look. I think this part of the project has showed my skills of makeup and hair the most as I have created my own designs myself on to a model. This part of the project has also made me notice that I need to choose models that suit my designs otherwise they don't show off my skills at best. I'm happy with the outcomes of this design and I think this is because i was prepared for it the most. I had tested out different products to see what was best for the gold on the eyes and glitter, and green on the lips. I think the eye makeup came out really well too and am really pleased with the results. The eyebrows were my biggest struggle and made me stress because I didn't know how to block out eyebrows and basically did it on the spot without practice. I finally got them about right in the end though and they don't look too bad for a first time try. The hair looks different from the practice I did but that was because I was running out of time and only had time to take the curls out and make the unique twist idea I wanted. I still like the results of it though despite this and the curls look shiny and smooth. I wanted to put green in the hair swell but I had run out of time. I don't think it needs the green though as the makeup is so contemporary. I think I need to work on perfecting my look before I take photos s i do have fly aways it's just that I feel I don't have time to or don't realise until I look at the photos when they're on my computer. I'm hoping to improve these parts on my next project. 

Fraulein Schneider Final

 These are the final images of my partner's Fraulein Schneider design that I made up on a model. I think the assessment for this went really well as I got everything finished in time and the pictures came out well. It was relaxing to do a natural look like this with ageing makeup but I don't feel that it shows off the potential of the skills I have learnt from this unit. Overall the images have come out well and shows my capability of creating natural makeup, ageing and a chignon bun.

Kit Kat Girl Final Assessment

These are the images of my Kit Kat Girl design my partner created on me. I thought the pictures came out nicely when we took these but when I took a second look I realised that the eyeshadow should have been more exaggerate going up to the eyebrow bone just so the colour could be seen more as it was a key part to the idea of the design. I like the rest of the makeup although maybe the lips should have been darker. For the hair it looks great in these images except it's more curly on one side but think this is more of my partner's concern.

Practicing On Model

These images are of a practice of my Sally Bowles design on my model. I did everything except block out the eyebrows and put green in the hair but that was because I didn't have the right equipment with me for it. I timed how long it took me to create the design and resulted in 2 and half hours leaving me enough time to still do these two things I hope. When I took the images I noticed the black lines under the eyes needed to be much more clearer and blacker. When I created the hair it wasn't from following a chart but from what I had learnt on how to make a short curly bob. I originally was going to make finger waves at the front of the hair but changed this because I haven't perfected my skill in doing this in time for the shoot. But I don't want to just do the short curly bob as it is a basic hair style of the 20's/30's. So when I created the hairstyle in the practice I played around with the hair and tried to create a unique twist to this. In the end I twisted the front side curls and pinned them into a big pin curl on the side of the head.This still references Sally as it references how she wants to be unique.

Practice Fraulein Schneider

My partner in the times assessment part of this project has chosen Fraulein Schneider as her historical character. The image above is a practice of her design. The look is quite natural but is of a much older woman, therefore I have had to apply wrinkles to my model's face. I think our practice went really well. The hardest part was making the hairstyle which is a chignon bun but that was because the first part was confusing. Overall I feel prepared and ready for the assessment.

Sally Charts

In this chart I have made the eyes appear larger by drawing a black line further underneath them and filling the space in with white. The eyelashes on top and under will be false lashes and this part whole part of the design presents the idea of Sally's dream to be big - a star. The gold on the lids and under also relates to stardom and the Egyptian history and trends I have researched. The lips are a green and black ombre representing Sally's green nails and her want of being unique. There is also gold glitter on top of the lips to also symbolise the stardom. Her skin is pale with contour to represent the 30's trend of pale skin along with the thin eyebrows.

This chart is very similar to the one above except the eyes are more exaggerate. The black line would be the same curve and width away from the eye underneath but onto the black line would be drawn under the eyebrows. This would make full almond shapes around the eyes. The real eyelashes would be whited out on top and bottom and false lashes would replace them on the black lines on the top lines and bottom lines. The gold on top of the 'new eyes' relates to stardom and the Egyptian history and trends I have researched. The green under the new eyes create a unique twist to the look representing Sally's want of being unique and her green nails. This goes the same for her lips.

Overall I have decided the first chart is my final because I think comparing the two, the second chart's eye makeup may be too exaggerate. The eye makeup will take up a lot of time and concentration so the 2nd chart may take too long to create. I look forward to testing this look and seeing the outcome results.

Sally Hair Charts

Originally I wanted the hair of my Sally Bowles design to have long curly hair with lots of volume but thought, combined with the makeup, it would be too contemporary and wouldn't portray any of the 30's theme. Therefore I decided to keep the hair short and curly so that it is clear this is a contemporary version of the 30's Sally Bowles. I found it hard to choose a hair style for this design just because I've only learnt how to make a curly bob and not much else so I didn't want to just stick to that but instead try and have a little twist to what i know. I chose instead to practice that hairstyle first and then change something about it to make the twist of it and then drew this hairstyle above. The twist is that a gathered the few front curls and made a big pin curl on the side of the head out of them.
