Timed Assessment Images & Peer Review of Elly

Timed Assessment 1

Designer: Hayley

Make Up Artist/ Hair Stylist: Elly

I feel like Elly was consistent through out her timed assessment; she was always very professional, organised and made sure her work station was clean and set out correctly.  Elly was communicating well with me throughout the assessment, as well as looking at the face charts and information I provided her  constantly to ensure she was using the right products.

Before the assessment, I had practised the look several times, and provided Elly with face and hair charts, as well as step by step images so that she could get an idea of what the design looked like applied on the face.  Elly also practised the look on me before the assessment.

The make-up application went really well, she definitely has a good understanding of technical skills, the base was applied seamlessly, and the blending of the eyeshadow was also done very well.  As I had experimented with a different lip shape for this look, getting the lip shape symmetrical was tricky under time pressure, but she kept calm and achieved a good outcome.  I'd say the main part of the make-up that I wasn't completely happy with was the eyebrows,  my natural brows aren't thin so changing the shape to a thinner line in a limited amount of time can be tricky.  I feel like my natural brow hair should have been concealed better to create a more polished look.  However, maybe we should have practised this a lot more before hand to be able to get this done under time pressure, that is definitely something that we should bear in mind for the future. 

The hairstyle was created well, Elly was a little bit short of time at the end, but managed to finish the style in time.  She set my hair nicely, and created the desired shape, I just would of liked a little bit more volume to the style which could of possibly been added if there was a bit more time to spare.

Overall, I think Elly is a skillful Make-Up Artist and Hair Designer, she is organised, clean and has a really good understanding and broad range of technical skills.  If I was to advise her to do anything, it would to be a little bit more conscious of the time, but this is something that can be improved easily.  She created my design well and I hope I'm able to create her design as well as she executed mine.
