Final Evaluation

    Overall,  I'm pleased with all the designs I've done and the final looks I managed to create.
    If talking about the first part of the project: "Continuity". The task was to create a look suitable for Miss Havisham's character from Great Expectation and then to recreate exactly the same look. It was an interesting experience, but at the same time demanding.I found it challenging to recreate same the same colour tones, textures, lines, the same length of the curls and exactly the same number of curls. Regardless all these details I'm happy with the final result even tough there are some mistakes as for example the skin tone, the smudged lips and the special effect of dry skin on the cheek-bone.
     Regarding the second part of the project which was creating the look for another character from the Great Expectation: Estella. This part of the project was easy from a technical point of view, but I found it difficult from the creative aspect. All the designs I created for this character were too much for a simple Victorian look. I love to let my creative spirit free, thing that I found very hard to do, especially in this part of the project.
    I think it was a really nice experience, I'm also very glad we have studied how to create special effects and I've also realized that this kind of make-up, especially the special effects, are not the job I'd like to do in my future. I enjoyed doing them but I realized that creating and doing some more creative looks as for fashion shows or even editorial make-up would be something more adapt for me. Also during the sessions while I was creating my special effects, at every single lesson the teacher was saying that my work was mor " Fashion" than "Realistic".
