Timed Assessment: Meg Wills

Assessment of (Make-up Artist): Meg Wills

Peer Assessment:

The participation between the two of us was well planned out and organised as we were able to exchange each others face charts and practise before hand to ensure we were both ready and had planned out our time management to ensure success. We had helpful discussions about each of our face charts concerning shades of colour, the contouring and eye shadow. When we had entered the studio and Meg was setting up her area, we found that the blonde wig was already being used, and so I had to change my design to a pink wig rather than blonde which didn't turn out to be a problem. Meg still managed to make me look similar to my face chart. Meg had a really confident and positive attitude throughout and her organisation was also quite good.
She had good technical skills when applying the products
to my face and was gentle at doing so.

 

Advice for your Make-up Artist:

Whilst Meg applied the make-up to my face, I noticed her technique with her brushes was really good and smooth on my face which made me feel relaxed. She did miss out the black eye shadow around my eyes but I think the look still worked without it, although she should have done it. One thing that I would say for Meg to improve on was her professional status during her timed assessment. I think she may have been too loud and confident when she should have acted more professional as if she was on a serious location shoot. She could also be more brave with applying striking colours as she tended to take ages creating it doing faint layers which wasted time. After doing her timed assessment, Meg has had good feedback from myself to think about in order to improve her skills next time.

 

Self reflection:

As a designer, I have learnt from this timed assessment that I must ensure that I clearly state down how intense the colours should be, or to make these colours clearer on my face charts to stop future confusion. The rest of the step by notes that I wrote down for Meg to follow were perfect as she new exactly what to do asking barely any questions.  I think my face chart notes and lists or products were clear and productive as it allowed my make-up artist to be able to set up her work area before beginning. Another strength of mine as a designer was that I really thought ahead and planned out what order Meg should the look in to ensure she would stay in the time limit of 90 minutes.
