Timed Assessment Notes


Below show my notes for my timed assessment buddy, I also attached my facechart for the catwalk inuit look and my final images too.

Face:
  • foundation to match model’s natural skin tone
  • use a satin primer for the base to give the skin a dewy look
  • to contour the face, use 3 different products: 
  1. highlighter to give a pearlescent sheen to the tops of the cheekbones, forehead and nose (Topshop highlighter in Crescent Moon). 
  2. 2. rosy pink blusher to put some colour the cheeks - not overused (MAC Mineralise powder blush). 
  3. 3. Very fine silver powder underneath the cheekbones to contour them. 

Lips:


  • Vaseline on the lips to give a wet look, ensure that the model’s lips are not dry looking or flaky


Eyebrows:

  • use the turquoise eye liner pencil to outline and shape the eyebrows, fill these in with colour and ensure that they are symmetrical. Note: this took the longest when applying the makeup for the shoot, so allow time for this! 

Eyes:

  • keep the eyelids very simple, use vaseline on them to give a dewy sheen to them
  • use MAC Lipmix in white and a disposable mascara wand to coat the eyelashes - be careful that this does not imprint onto the model’s skin

Hair:

  • some videos that may help to teach you the dutch braid are: 
  • create three plaits on the hair going in the same direction on top of one another - keep them tight to the head
  • depending on the length of the model’s hair, you may need to use extra hair pieces to add volume and length. This could be in the form of clip in hair extensions or a plaited hair piece that can be attached the hair. 
  • backcombing the hair also helped especially if the models hair has just recently been washed.

Accessories/Styling:

  • Use a fur stole draped across the chest of the model, similar to the one I used in my look (see images). 
  • No jewellery, earrings or bracelets were worn during the shoot as I wanted the look to be simple yet effective with the fur.
