Matilda's Final Design Practice: Improved Design
In our own time my partner and I practiced her final makeup design; she had made subtle changes to the positioning and amount of colour to the lower part of her face, and removed any eye shadow from the eyes to make the design fit better with the Elizabethan concept. I found most of the design easy to do, but I struggled with the symmetry of the black lines towards the bottom of her face. Looking in the mirror whilst doing this helped me a lot because it shows exactly where I went wrong. To make this easier for me, my partner and I discussed making a stencil for the lines to ensure the finished design is perfect and the symmetry is on point. The design took less then an hour to complete, this means there is more time for me to perfect thew look and ensure everything it as she wants it. I will spend the remaining time going over any lines and any white of the face which has become patchy or needs retouching. I am confident that I will be able to complete this design to her standards.

Health and safety:
Before I started the application of makeup,I ensured all my brushes were clean and there was no cross contamination in the products. Throughout the application I ensured I didn't cross contaminate the brushes or products by 'double dipping.' I assessed the clients skin and came to the conclusion she had normal skin with no contraindications.
