Timed assessment - in the role of the artist

I was really pleased with myself once I had finished this timed assessment. Arriving early and having plenty of time to set up and prepare meant I entered the assessment in a very relaxed and confident state of mind. I assessed my partner's skin; there were a few more blemishes than normal, which I took into consideration when applying concealer. I began applying the make-up in a sensible order, so that the most important parts were done first, in case of any mistakes that might waste time. I did not think I would get it all done in time as I had overrun in the previous practice, but I did, with two minutes to spare. I thought the look was symmetrical and neat; my only concern being that the lips are slightly overdrawn - neat lipstick is something I always struggle with. I was glad I had plenty of time to add the gold neck, and was happy with the effect of the brush strokes, as I thought this section added a lot to the finished outcome. 

My partner was happy with how I did her make-up. I worked safely and quickly, in an organised fashion, and myself and Dil communicated well. I listened to her suggestions and we always agreed on things, coming to compromises where necessary. 

Overall, I am impressed at my ability, and think that all the time spent practising was very important in terms of creating such a good final outcome.
