Dil's first practice of my design

My partner and I practised each other's designs on one another. Having previously tried my design on myself, I was able to give further tips and guidance, as well as her following my face chart. I was happy with the finished result, considering it was our first trial. She assessed my skin well, noticing my redness and adapting her technique to accommodate this. We experimented with gold eyebrows, which I really liked, and I felt it added a senses of royalty, in theme with Elizabethan make-up. We also tried different looks for the contouring on either cheek, a more bold, raised shape and a more subtle one, which I preferred. However I would've liked a more shimmery, iridescent finish, whereas both the Supra Colour gold shade and the Illamasqua Liquid Metals gold shade both came out a bit greyish. As for the eyes, next time I think I'd like a more smoked-out effect, but I really liked the colours. We decided that next time, for the lips, using less black product and blending it in, leaving more of the red visible, will look better. 

Overall, I was happy with the finished look for a first trial, but think techniques and product placement need refining. Having spoken to my partner, she feels more confident now that she has physically had a go at my design; I also think I could make my design and instructions clearer and more detailed for her.
