                                                              Assessment - Self Evaluation of Role as MUA

                                                              Overall I feel the assessment went well as I was able to complete Grace’s design fully within the allocated time limit, with an additional 10 minutes for final touch ups before shooting. Within our practices there were issues finding the right consistency for the liquid metal, however before the final assessment we were able to amend this allowing for a opaque application. I feel that this along with the application of the dramatic highlight were my biggest successes within the final makeup design. The highlight had presented a few issues with its application on the day due to a slightly more oily surface than normal on Grace’s nose, this unfortunately couldn't be corrected by powdering as the liquid highlight would cause a cakey base. As a result I made the decision to switch the liquid highlight on the nose for a powder one and worked on building up the layers to create the same level of shine as the rest of the face. My biggest weakness within regards to this assessment I still feel is that of my application of the lip colour and creating a symmetrical mouth. Within the final images (although improved from my practices) the right side is slightly shorter in width as a result of bringing the lipstick slightly to far over, this is something I definitely need to work on however I do feel that by taking my time on the symmetry of the copper chin line it helped me to align the rest of the makeup to the centre of the face. I definitely feel that by practicing this makeup design at least 3 times before final application aided my ability within the final assessment as I was able to minimise my risk of mistakes on the day.
