To start this meeting off, we discussed the designs we had been working on for the past few days. We all agreed that The Girls should match in makeup, but have different hairstyles. This is because they come as a three in the theatre performance, but they still need to be distinguishable to the audience. We had all decided as a team The Girls makeup will consist of brown eyeshadow, dropped eyeliner (underneath the eye to make them appear bigger) and a red lip. 

We then collaborated on discussing the character Audrey. For Audrey, we had all agreed on creating a brown eyeshadow look with a red lip. However, this makeup will be darker in comparison to the girls as we don’t want them looking the same. During the first act of the performance, Audrey also sports a black eye; this will be applied both around the eye and further onto the cheek bone to make it stand out under the theatre lights and to the audience. 


Once we had finished discussing the designs for The Girls and Audrey, we moved onto practicing the makeup for The Girls, Audrey and Audrey Two. 


To begin with, I decided to practice some straight male makeup, which can be seen in the images above. I did this as, since I was going to be practicing the makeup for Audrey Two, I needed a female model; however, everyone was busy practicing, or being practiced on already so I had to wait before I could do this.

Once I had finished this makeup, I gathered feedback. This shows good teamwork and collaboration as we all discussed the pros and cons to this makeup together.


Once I had gathered feedback, I had arranged to work on one of my peers (Charlotte) once she had finished the makeup she was practicing. This shows good communication skills as we had arranged a time to start the makeup, that way we both have time for a small break before we continue working.


The images above show the Audrey Two makeup I had planned on practicing. Once I had finished this, I had gathered feedback from everyone on what part of the makeup should be kept the same, and what needs improving. This shows good teamwork and collaboration skills as we all discussed this makeup as a team, aiding in the progression.


The images above show how I practiced good health and safety whilst working. During this time, I made sure to keep my base organised and clean by having all of my brushes neatly placed on one side of the base, and all of the makeup I would be using was neatly arranged. I also made sure any and all bags are out of the way, chairs were tucked under, and tables were far enough away to give me space to move around the area I was working at.

Pantomime Dame makeup evaluation

  For the pantomime dame makeup, I like the outcome of the eye makeup, the orange especially, because I like how it has been blended from dark to light. I also like the eyeliner both on the eyelid and below the eye, including the white, as it enhances the eye shape and size. However, I need to improve on being able to cover up my eyebrows and raising the drawn on ones further up my forehead as they were too far down. I also need to darken the contouring on the cheeks and the jaw. I also think I should darken the outline of the lips too as it isn’t as visible as it should be. This makeup would be suitable for a small and medium sized stage and audience as it can be seen from far enough away. The colours could also work underneath certain stage lights as they wont be blended together. edit: 23/05/2021

Emaciation makeup evaluation

  For the emaciation makeup, I like how the makeup shows the cause of emaciations (for example: for the makeup shown in the image, I chose the cause to be an eating disorder, whereas if the cause was sickness, for example, the skin would have a greenish tone.). To improve, I should try out emaciation but make the cause different to be able to understand fully what the effect would be for different causes (such as emaciation as a result of malnourishment). Another way in which I could improve would be to make sure the shaded areas look 'evened out' and add a little bit more depth to the eyes. Considering this makeup was meant for screen, it would have needed to be a bit more subtle on the cheekbones, as the makeup appears to be too obvious. I would also have had to add some shading to the neck to show how other areas of the body are affected by this disorder. Edit: 23/05/2021

One colour challenge evaluation

  Instagram one colour challenge evaluation: What I like about this look is the way I have coloured the eyebrows. Before applying the blue colour itself, I used colour corrector and concealer to lighten the eyebrows so that the blue will show up better on the hairs. I also like the contour of this look as I think it has been blended out nicely. However, I don’t like the eyeshadow as although I tried to use three different colours of blues on the eyes, they all look like just one colour. Therefore, to improve this look, I would use lighter variants of blue to make sure they stand out better. This also wouldn't work on photograph as the difference in the colour variants aren't bold enough in real life to show up on camera unless the photographs were taken up close. Edit: 26/02/2021
