Personal Evaluation of Technical Make-up...

I really enjoyed all of the make-up techniques I learnt throughout this project. All of the blood and gore was really interesting and fun to create as it is a bit of a challenge learning about what injuries really look like and making them appear realistic whether they are major or minor. 

I also love the fact that this project has proved that 'make-up' is really not always to make people look 'pretty' and 'glamorous' but to also make them look ugly, demented, injured, scary, creepy etc.

Not only can you create not to attractive looks with make-up but also hair. Rather than making her neat and beautiful, by making it messy, unfinished, over-sized, can also produce a scary, horrible, disgusting final image of your model.

Evaluation...

I really enjoyed this project as it was a lot different to the other assignments I have been set during the course of my first year of university. Rather than creating attractive looks with make-up, the intention was to design and produce 'horrific' appearances. When making and posting on my blog, I quite enjoyed the research side as I learnt a lot about how individuals are used to portray different characters in films. I also learnt a lot about applying make-up to create injuries. I feel my overall project went well, as my final images reflect my initial thoughts and ideas and I have explained what I am portraying well. I feel the make-up on 'The Dead Girl' images could be slightly better, and the black eye could be more intense, but that is my fault for not doing more practise. I also feel I could of created a more 'fashion' approach as that was a main aspect of the project but I really struggled to involve that in my final images and my photographs look a lot more 'horror' than 'fashion'. Overall I have really benefited from doing this project as I have discovered more make-up techniques and how to improve my approach for any other similar assignments in the future.
