(C) Senior Project Hours

(D) For my independent component I completed the makeup look book. This consisted of researching, listening, creating the book and physically preforming makeup of myself.

 INTERPRETIVE
Defend your work and explain its significance to your project and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work. Provide evidence of the 30 hours of work.
Creating the makeup look book was very significant to my senior project because it gave me a feel of what all makeup artist do every single day while applying makeup. Learning how to work under the pressure of someone else is not easy. You have to know all the options you have and the personal likings of the client plus much more. You don't get a second try so it always has to come out great. People expect the makeup artist to know every look every this and that to make them happy. I feel that creating this book gave me a sense of that. I was the one creating the different looks and even though it sounds easy it was very difficult but exciting.

APPLIED

How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better? Please include specific examples to illustrate this.
This component helped me understand the foundation of my topic because I constantly learned about how all these looks are accomplished using the right products and techniques. I was also constantly looking at inspiration for the new makeup looks that I was creating. This allowed me to step into the shoes of a makeup artist and use the research I have done to then create the different looks I have chosen. Makeup artists do this on a daily basis they ask what the client would like and then he/she achieves it for them.
