Extra Blog Post: October

Since it is Halloween I decided to go all out this year. It is also a plus because my topic is make up artistry. This is just a couple pictures of my face makeup on Halloween. It was really interesting to create a look to match my costume. For Halloween I choose to be a Native American. For my face I just used a foundation color to match my skin. I went ahead and just filled in my brows a little. Then contour on my cheeks and temples. Then I used three different elf brushes to create this eye look. All I used were different shades of brown. I then applied false lashes, curled my lashes and applied mascara. To create more of Native American look I applied the blue stripe under both my eyes using face paint. As well as little white dots above my eye brows. I went with just a natural color lip because I have a bolder look for my eyes. That is all for my final Native American look. Doing my mentorship, reading books, and watching videos has really helped me improve on things I struggled with before. I cannot wait till next Halloween so that I can create a new look.

Blog 8: Research and Working EQ

1.  What is your working EQ?

What techniques are the most efficient which result in a outstanding outcome and satisfied client.

  

2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format. 

• The makeup artist must be able to apply her knowledge to accommodate the needs of the client(s).
• Clients should be encouraged to inform the makeup artist about their desired look(s)
• The makeup artist must be able to realize after observing the client what is needed in order to enhance his/her features

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ? 

The most important source that I have used would have to be a book that my mentor actually lent to me for  a couple of week. The book is called "Make-up Designory's Beauty Make-up" which was given to her while she attended  makeup school in Burbank. I feel that this book has all the information i need. It goes into detail about everything and anything i have a question on. It is very specific and right to the point and is very easy to understand. This book explains all the different techniques as well as the best brushes to use with the many different foundation, concealers, and powders, etc. This would have to be one of the best finding and i actually want to purchase it for myself.  

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you doing mentorship, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?

My mentor is Jilll Anderson who is a professional makeup artist. I am doing my mentorship at her house locally since she does work from home. I come over whenever she has clients and help and assist her with whatever she needs. I also am able to use the products she has to learn how to use them on my own and learn my own techniques that I favor. It relates to my topic simply because she is a professional in the field that i am doing my senior project on. It relates to my working EQ because I am able to view her apply a full face of makeup resulting in an amazing final product.

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval

1. Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
For my 30 hours I plan on making creating a makeup look book. A look book is basically something that clients can view in order to choose the desired look they want. This will include dramatic, natural, and various of different looks. I plan on doing this because I will be able to be very creative while creating my own looks inspired by other research I plan on doing. This will defiantly teach me so much more about my topic. Makeup artistry is really like painting on a canvas. You can be what you want to be. Create the looks you want because everyone is different and will have different personal likings. I will take all the research I have done and will make about 6 or so different looks that will result in a makeup look book of my own.

2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
I want to make memories of this experience as well as show the 30 hours of evidence. This will be the look book itself which are different drawing of looks of my own. As well as the products I would be using on the left hand side of the picture. Lastly will be the reasoning to why I chose to create the look book towards the end.

3. And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
Creating the look book is making me research about makeup and find my own inspiration for the looks I am creating. I feel that if i create this look book it will give me a feel on how this field would be in the future. It will also educate me in great detail about makeup artistry.
