Reflection of my partners Design

I feel Laila’s design is very thought out she has taken into consideration symbolism from the Elizabethan era using purple colours within her makeup look and within the styling using purple contact lenses to represent royalty in a contemporary way. She has also used traditional techniques within her look such as the white base and pink cheeks, furthermore within the hair using padding. I found Laila communicated her ideas well and was able to show me images of her own practice so I had a visual reference as well. Although the look is simple to create there are a few areas that I have had to consider as Laila has alopecia I have to be careful not to pull the hair to much also considering how to cover the patches while still creating the design she wanted. I also struggled with her skin she has very dry and sensitive skin so while applying the base this was an issue, for the final assessment Laila will exfoliate and thoroughly moisturize, the morning of assessment I will test the base and if the foundation gathers onto the dry skin I will use oil based face paint instead. For the final assessment I will make sure I keep track of time and try and complete all that has been asked of me. I feel confident with Laila’s design but hopes nervous don’t get the better of me. I will practice further on Laila up until assessment to make sure I feel confident when I enter the assessment.
