My final practice of Dil's design

I now feel ready for my timed assessment. Dil had spent some time experimenting with looks she wanted, and we tried various products and techniques to achieve them. Dil also cut the lace into the exact shapes she wants them to be, so that we could finally create a true vision of the final look. We also took time to prioritise parts of the look that were most important, so that if anything goes wrong on the day and we run out of time, we can still complete the most important and effective features, meaning the finished outcome will still look like a contemporary twist on Elizabethan make-up, and will still be in theme with Dil's lady in waiting interpretation. 
In this practice. I used the second-palest shade from the foundation palette, as Dil preferred how it looked, and I found it easier to create an even coverage. I also used the lace shapes as a template for the gold on Dil's forehead, meaning the make-up was positioned exactly where Dil wanted it, and was symmetrical on both sides. It also meant it did not take so long. We have discovered that the Illamasqua Liquid Metals gold shade works best on the cheeks, so I used that, and again I was happy with the symmetry. Dil decided she likes the effect of messy, smudgy winged eyeliner, so I used a black eyeshadow to create this. I painted the eyelashes gold as usual, and the lips red. I was really pleased with the lip shape this time, although found that it took a long time for me to do, which could be a problem in the assessment. Lastly, I took the gold shade from before and painted Dil's neck and collarbones with it in a messy style, and placed another strip of lace over it.
Dil was happy with my work today; our only concern is timing, so I will push to work faster in the assessment, and make sure that the most important sections of the look are completed to the best of my ability.
