I kept the make up quite simple but still strong as I wanted my character of Mrs Laderman to come across as a glamorous mature women. I think that the make up worked well and following my initial designs I think looked good. I did however slightly struggle with working on mature skin as I have got used to working on younger skin. For the assessment I will focus more on moisturising the skin first and priming it better. I will also thin out the foundation so that it is not too heavy, as my model does not have many imperfections to cover. I liked the eye make up and thought that it worked well. I decided to use a dark brown smokey eye, as inspired by the actress Linda Gray. Blending was slightly difficult, due to my model's dry skin. This however can be improved by moisturising better. The element of the make up that I was worried could go wrong was the dark lip colour. I thought that this might make the look too heavy and also not suit my model's face and, although I want it to be strong, I still want my model to look attractive. However I believe that it looked good and worked well. I will however need to be careful as it can easily become messy, and is difficult to correct any mistakes due to the dark colour of the lipstick. Overall I was pleased with the make up and I do not think after this practice that there is anything that I would change with it. I also practised the hair; I struggled to come up with ideas of how to design the hair as my model's is very short. I decided to keep it quite simple with a severe parting down one side with the hair swept backwards. I was pleased with this and felt it added to the domineering and strong effect that I wanted to create for Mrs Laderman.
I am glad with the way that the practice went and it has highlighted to me the areas that I need to improve on, I also think it has helped me to improve my designs.
