INTERPRETIVE
Defend your work and explain the component's significance and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work. Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work.
Creating the makeup 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. I was able to learn how to work under the pressure of someone else waiting and watching you apply makeup on them. You have to really have a certain type of mindset while working on someone else. You need to know how I communicate and ask question like what they like and dislike. You are under pressure because don't get a second try so it has to come out great. I felt that creating this book gave me a sense of that. I really couldn't wait until I got to the part where I physically started applying makeup. I was the one creating the different looks  based of what someone else wanted and it was very difficult but exciting.

APPLIED
How did the component help you answer your EQ? Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped.
This component allowed me to understand all of the research I have done. I finally put them to use while applying makeup on others. I was able to learn about how all these looks are accomplished using the products and techniques. Luckily I had people close to me that allowed me to preform on them. This component took me beyond what I previously knew because I was finally putting my knowledge to the test. I stepped into the baby shoes of a makeup artist and how she or he works on a daily basis. It was truly different from my experiences with my other component because that was creating a look on paper rather than a person.
