Practising in our Lesson

Today was the first time that my partner had practised my design on me and for her first attempt, I think she did pretty well. We both came to the lesson very organised and set up and started right away. I bought my face chart designs with me and some step by step notes and diagrams on how I wanted the makeup to be applied. I also bought any extra products that I needed such as eyeshadows and soap to block the eyebrows. And my partner bought her kit with all the brushes and any extras that she thought we may need.  

 This is me in the chair before I got made up, we pretended like this was the real thing so we put all the notes and face charts on the mirror and set up in a professional manner. 


This is how it turned out, I think its good especially as she had never practiced this look on me before. She started off using a smaller brush which made the eyeshadow quite heavy and you could see the lines as it wouldn't blend properly. We then tried a bigger, softer brush band it made it so much more easier to blend. The eyebrows are a bit of an issue here as they are really hard to block, so we are going to practice this again in our own time and focus mainly on getting the eyebrows blocked out. My tutor, Kat gave me a good tip - she told us that when we block out the eyebrows push them upwards so they get stuck to the skin rather than the actual hairs itself. I will give this a go but if this fails, I have thought about getting something to cover the eyebrows such as paper eyelashes and then painting and colouring them to match the makeup as this should take all the attention away from the visible hairs and stop them from being seen.
