Timed Assessment/Evaluation




I was really happy with my final images for my timed assessment.  Unfortunately, I had a last minute model change, however I felt calm and pleased with my outcome considering the situation.  My aim was to get perfect looking skin with a relaxed hairstyle.  I feel I achieved this.

I'm really happy with my make-up and I think it suits my model.  If I was to do it again, I would maybe make the eyeshadow and lip colour stronger.  However, I still am pleased with my application and it looks pretty and elegant, just what I was hoping for.

Timed Assessment Practise



Here are my practises for my day look, which was also my timed assessment.  I really like the brown smoky eye and the lip colour.  I am unsure on the outfit choice for Estee Lauder, it doesn't look elegant enough and is a bit too thick for a day look.

I am also not too sure on the hair either it looks too natural and I'm not sure about it being all on one side.

Timed Assessment Face/Hair Charts

Face Chart

Here is my face chart for my day look which I will be recreating for my timed assessment.  I have chosen a brown smokey eye with a pink lip, with focus on the eyelashes.  I would like to use a blonde model for this look because it is a soft make-up and I think blonde hair will compliment this.

Step by step

Products

  • Micellar water
  • Daywear moisturiser
  • MAC Primer
  • MAC Studio Fix
  • Bobbi Brown palette
  • BrowZings
  • Nakes 1
  • Estee Lauder Sumptuous Infinite Mascara
  • MAC Highliter - Lightscapade
  • Illamasqua Disobey Contour
  • Illamasqua Ambition Blush
  • Kiko Lip Liner - 712
  • Estee Lauder Rebellious Rose Lipstick
  • Brush Belt


  1. Prep the skin with Garnier Micellar water and Estee Lauder Daywear moisturiser.
  2. Apply MAC Prep and Prime primer all over the skin.
  3. After matching the correct skin tone, apply MAC Studio Fix foundation all over the face with a buffing brush.
  4. Conceal blemishes and dark circles with the Bobbi Brown palette.
  5. Shade in the eyebrows with Benefit Brow Zings.
  6. Using the Naked 1 palette and a flat brush, apply the shade 'Naked' all over the lid shadowing out to 'Buck' at the edge of the eyes.
  7. In the crease of the eye use the shade 'Hustle' in a sweeping motion.  Apply the same colour on the water line with a pointy brush.
  8. Finish the eye with some Estee Lauder Sumptuous Infinite mascara.  Make sure to coat all the lashes to help them really stand out on camera.
  9. Highlight with MAC's Lightscapade on the cheekbones and down the nose.
  10. Contour with Illamasqua's Disobey under the cheekbones and the jaw line, buff this in so there are no harsh lines.
  11. Use the Illamsqua blusher Ambition on the apples of the cheeks and sweep out.
  12. Line the lips using Kiko's Lip Liner in 712.
  13. Finish the look with Estee Lauder's Lipstick - Rebellious Rose.
Hair Chart




Here are my hair charts, I decided to go for that relaxed look similar to my inspiration.  I would like a model with mid length hair because I think dead straight hair suits longer hair.  It will also be easier to show the relaxness off.

Step by step


Products
  • Hairdryer
  • Denham Brush
  • Paddle Brush
  • Straightners
  • Shine Serum
  • Water Spray
  1. Start off again at the bottom of the head and section off a small section.
  2. Use the hairdryer with a nozzle to control the heat and a Denham brush to get right to the root of the hair.
  3. Slightly wet the hair. Blow-dry the hair straight down making sure the nozzle stays in contact with the hair at all times.
  4. Make sure each section is fully dry before moving onto the next.  Repeat this process to whole head.  When you start moving up the hair, use the paddle brush to dry as it gives a better finish.
  5. Once it is all dry, you can go over it with the straighteners to clamp all the hair together to prevent fly aways.
  6. Lastly, finish with some shine serum on your fingers and run it through the hair.

Timed Assessment Moodboards

Hair moodboard

Below is my hair moodboard. I picked these images as they are blonde with the relaxed look that I wanted. I like the lift the hair has at the front which I'd like to try to recreate.


 Make-Up moodboard

Below is my make-up moodboard which I think goes perfectly with the hairstyle I'd like to create.  I love the soft brown eye with prominent lashes.  I also love the poses, they look natural not false, although I like the smiley image above.


Overall moodboard 

I really like the pose on the right of this moodboard.  Not so much the styling, but her hair and facial expression look pretty and day-like.  I like how she is half smiling, it gives the image some character.

Perfume Shoot Final Images

Final Images Perfume Shoot



The only thing I would change about these images is maybe my camera angle.  I should've taken some images from above to flatter my model a bit more.  However I do really like my chosen make-up for this look and the pink like ties in well with the gold/pink eye.

Perfume Face/Hair Charts

Face Chart



As I mentioned in my mood board post, I am basing my look on the Modern Muse Perfume bottle. With a gold smokey eye and light pink lip, these two colours really compliment each other.

Step by step

Products


  • Garnier Micellar Water
  • Daywear moisturiser
  • MAC Prep and Prime Primer
  • MAC Studio Fix Foundation
  • Bobbi Brown concealer palette
  • Naked 1
  • Sumptuous Infinite Mascara
  • Benefit BrowZings
  • MAC Powder NC55
  • MAC Highlighter Lightscapade 
  • Illamasqua Ambition Blusher
  • Estee Lauder Potent Lipstick
  • Brush belt
  1. Prepare the skin with Garnier Micellar Water and Estee Lauder Daywear moisturiser.
  2. Apply MAC Primer all over the face.
  3. Match a foundation colour to the skin (maybe mix two together) and buff into the skin using a buffing brush.
  4. Using the Bobbi Brown palette conceal blemishes and dark under eye circles.
  5. Shade in the eyebrows with Benefit BrowZing's.
  6. Using a flat brush apply the shade 'Naked' all over the eyelid.
  7. Then take 'Half Baked' and 'Smog' together and pat this on top.  This will give the eye a lovely golden shimmer.
  8. Using a pointed brush, apply this under the eye on the water line as well.
  9. Use the MAC NC55 Powder to contour the face - under the cheekbones, down the sides of the nose and on the jaw line.
  10. Highlight with the MAC Lightscapade - down the nose and on the cheekbones.
  11. Add a tough of blusher on the apples of the cheeks.
  12. Apply the Estee Lauder Lipstick in Potent all over the lips.
Hair Charts




As the make-up is quite bold, I decided to opt for a sleek ponytail.  Sleek straight hair looks so neat and classic with a beautiful make-up.
