When given the brief, i was really excited to create images for Fashion, as this is the area i am most interested in, however In my honest opinion, this term has not only been unorganised, but also stressful and I feel it may have impacted on my work, mostly with the development of my research. However, putting behind the downsides, I believe I have grown in my skills and my attention to detail. I greatly enjoyed the more advanced side of hair, and also the master classes of Miriana and Illamasqua. I learnt a lot of tips and technical skills in these short amount of times.
I developed a vast amount of research for this project by looking on the internet, by visiting branches where makeup of Estée Lauder is sold, and also reading booklets on Illamasqua. I gained insight on campaigns, helping me to produce my final images.
Overall I am extremely pleased with my final images, however found it difficult to apply every look to my brand; Estee Lauder. I have learnt thoroughly how to apply a base, and also how to apply a perfect symmetrical lip. I have extended my knowledge about brushes and products and their application and i think this shows throughout both my final images and my timed assessment.
I feel as though i created a story which suits the theme of Illamasqua’s brand; unique and vibrant, with the use of colours and texture.
After gaining timed assessment feedback, i am proud of myself of how my outcomes have turned out taking into consideration the problems we as a group have faced this term. My hair skills need to be improved as i believe that my makeup skills are much higher than those of hair. My confidence also has to be worked on and i have to gain belief in myself that i can do things and i can do them well. I look forward putting into practice the skills i have learnt this term, and look forward to learning new skills next year.
