Evaluation
I have really enjoyed this tribal project as it was very
different form anything we have done before, also I have learnt a lot of new
techniques and developed new skills which I feel have helped me a lot as a make
up and hair artist.
We got to choose the tribes that we wanted to do, I chose
Maori, Masai and the Holi festival of colour. I firstly researched into a few
tribes then made the decision to go with these because I felt that these tribes
would really depict my skills as a hair and make up artist.
As all three of the tribes are very different I could be
very creative with the hair and makeup and push myself to create two looks that
would push me as a hair and makeup artist to really test my skills.
For my first look, which was influenced by the Maori people,
I chose to do Maori down the arm on my model. This was my catwalk shoot so I
thought I could work with the Maori better with the catwalk shoot because it
does not have to be so detailed and on catwalk it does not get taken into
consideration as much as editorial if not every line is perfect. However the hair was very big and detailed
and on a runway, it would really stand out and catch the audience’s attention.
Overall I was pleased with my look as you could instantly tell that I was
Influenced by the Maori tribe and I would say I successfully
referenced this in my look.
For my second look I combined two tribes together, these
were the Masai tribe and the Holi festival of colour. I thought these two would
go really well together and because they are both very colourful would
compliment each other. I did put more detail into the makeup for this one as it
was my editorial look and this would be close up and you can really notice even
the little things in editorial. The hair
and makeup were both in great detail. However apart from the problem I had with
the eyes I do think It was a successful shoot and I have learnt a lot because
it did not all go the way that I planned and next time I will have a better
idea of how to deal with little problems.
Overall I am really pleased with my final images, but there
are things that I can improve on I will take this into consideration in my next
project and try to improve on these things. On my second look which was my
editorial I had a bit of a problem with the makeup on the eyes I layered the
eyes with paper then painted them but once doing it the model was not able to
open her eyes properly. However I feel that I have learnt from this and next
time I will not have this technical problem again. I feel my skills as a hair and makeup artist
really came across in this project.
