We will have 1 hour to complete our chosen look on or partner, and 1 hour to do the hair from the look on our dolly heads using at least one heated appliance.
I have been paired with Zainab.

Zac Posen
Make-up:
Kabuki was the make up artist, he wanted to create a fresh dewy skin with a graphic lip. He used products from MAC to create the look. A peachy concealer was placed beneath the eyes to brighten and widen the eyes.
A lip and cheek product from MAC was used for both the eyelids and the cheeks, I would guess that MAC's Casual Colour was used in shade Hi Jinks! As this is a really versatile and blendable product, that can really be worked in and made to look barely there, or you can not work the product as much, I feel that Kabuki really worked it on the cheeks but didn't so much on the eyelids.

The lipstick was matte but I think it was most likely shade Ruby Woo matt MAC lipstick. Its the classic pillar box red and probably MAC's most famous colour or product!
The hair:
Odile Gilbert was behind the hair creating a just out of the water look, this was done with lots and lots of gel so the models hair looked dripping wet. The actual style of the hair varied from model to model, some sported side parting with an almost quiff at the front then hair tied in a low pony at the back, whilst others sported the same side parting and quiff but hair was left down but kept at the back away from the face.
My thoughts on the look:
I love this look, the skin looks amazing, so fresh and dewy, I love the contrast between the matt lip and the sheen on the eyes.
The hair looks really slick and sleek, and I like that there's some lift there and it's not flat to the head like alot of designers were doing.
I really liked this look, I think that it would look great on my model the red would really pop and get that graphic look that was created.
I played around with my Kryolan lip palette to see if I could get a bold red I mixed LC104, with LC007 on the back of my hand, the colour I thought was a match to the photos of the Zac Posen show, because of the orange tone, but it is a sheen palette so wouldn't be viable!

The middle colour below was created by mixing LC142, LC149, & LC006.
The last was done using Au Naturelle from my Ben Nye colour palette, then working Vaseline over the top, to give it the sheen in the image.
Out of all 3 I think the first one is the best as it could be used for both the eyes and cheeks.

The eyebrows are groomed but not filled in so I would simply run some brow gel through them.

The Hair:

The hair was created by Allan Wood for Bumble and Bumble.
The models sported sharp middle partings, hair was sleek to the head without looking like it contained loads of product. Loose 3 strand plaits were then created at he back.
He used thickening spray for the front of the hair to achieve the sleek uniformed look at the front.
He then used Dryspun finish which is a texturing spray which is powdery and clear to give the braids the untidy looser texture.
The look complemented the collection really well, perfectly portraying a casual, chic summertime look. The collection featured girly prints and pops of bright colour.
I did 2 face charts one of each of the make up and hair;

I used my Ben Nye palette for shading (A mix of all the browns), hair (Cocoa brown) and the eyes (Au naturelle for the lids, and cocoa brown for the eye colour). I applied the color using a medium eye blending brush I used a smaller eye brush for the eyes.
I used my Aqua colours for the lips, I applied with a lip brush.
I drew the eyelashes with a black gel pen.

I used my aqua colours for the lips and hair.
I used my own eye shadow shimmer palette from Revlon for the eye lids which looks completely different in comparison to how it looked on my hand.
Overall I have decided to do the Tanya Taylor SS15 look on my model for my formative assessment, as I think the look will look great on her, her skin colour will compliment the orange look and rose shimmer on the lids perfectly.
I will be posting a mood board with my final products and steps soon!
