Reflection on Class
For my first attempt at applying eye makeup I felt that the application was overall decent and I had chosen an appropriate eye shadow style for my clients eye shape. Choosing the eye shape was relatively easy for my client as she possessed conventional round eyes however if the client has a combination of eye shapes you may have to combine eye makeup looks to achieve the desired effect. The initial eye shadow application was moderately successful however I do need to work on my ability to produce an even overall shadow look so that once blended out the eyes harmonise. Once this was done I applied an eyeliner that I found easier to apply with a small thin brush than that of the conventional angled brush, however the most challenging element was definitely the application of mascara. As my client had both long and fair eyelashes it was difficult to get close to the root without touching the rest of the face, this is definitely something I will need to practise within the future.
