Welcome Week

Southampton Solent Welcome Week

Black and white photo challenge, Tuesday 22^nd September.

                  This was a great opportunity for me to explore Southampton, and discover parts of it that I enjoyed visually, with new friends. It was a nice way to open my mind to new skills as I have not done much photography before.

Illamasqua workshop, Wednesday 23^rd September

                  I thoroughly enjoyed watching professional make-up artists at work, and was surprised to hear them admit how nervous they can get, and how many mistakes they make, even at their level. It was very reassuring, and I loved their finished looks.

Charles Fox talk, Thursday 24^th September

                  This talk gave me an insight into the application of more everyday make-up, as opposed to the fashion make-up the Illamasqua team demonstrated. Again, I really liked the finished outcome.

I learnt about some products and techniques that were new to me, and also about the variety of pathways to a career in the hair and make-up industry. From this, I have gained a more positive insight and feel reassured that hair and make-up is a career I want to pursue. I feel like I am already learning new things about make-up that will stick with me throught my studies and work.

I am pleased with how this week went and have enjoyed it. I liked meeting new people and feel excited to start the actual course. I found information easy to understand, and the ‘Head in a bag’ and ‘black and white photo’ challenges were a fun way to experiment and see others’ outcomes.
