Starting with the positive things... I was happy with the final look of the make up, on this occasion I altered the colour of the foundation slightly from the different combinations of colours I had used in my practice sessions. I think the mixture I used this time was a fairly good match to the tone and colour of Phoebes skin so the foundation didn't look too obviously fake and made up. I was also pleased that I managed to finish the make up application in good time to style the hair and take the photographs I needed.
I think the Photographs turned out quite well, although I may use the pictures I took using my phone as a reference in my next assessment as the details such as the wrinkle lines and colours used are much more visable in these images and as the aim of the assessment is continuity, therefore I need to be spot on in my application. However I am very pleased with the way the hair has turned out in the camera shots, the grey colour is much more visible and the hair stands out from the background and looks a lot more messier which is the look I was going for, as I wanted my Miss Havisham to look haggered, withered and slightly crazy.
Although the hair doesn't look awful in the pictures I was fairly dissapointed with how it turned out on the day. I wanted to create a style which had much more volume, however in my practice sessions I did not include the veil which was a last minute idea. therefore I did not consider the extra weight that this would add to the hair which resulted in flattening the style. I also think it would have been a wiser decision to style the hair before the make up as the hair could have done with a little extra time curling as Phoebes hair is very thick and naturally very straight. Also when I sprayed the hair with the dry shampoo it left a powdery residue on the skin which was hard to remove without smudging the make up.
