I decided to keep my costume simple, with just a strapless white tshirt and tribal gold necklace to go around the neck. As my eye makeup and head piece was quite extravagant, I didn't want to draw attention away from those things so thought a simplistic costume would be efficient. As the model wore a strapless top, I took the MAC face and body foundation onto the body as well for photographic purposes.

Evaluation
Although I was pleased with the final look, I did come across a few problems on the day. My model had forgotten to pluck her eyebrows and it wasn't a case of me just being able to get rid of a few strays. Luckily, the natural and slightly unkempt look was what I wanted to achieve with this look so it fitted in well with the hairstyle and overall look. Another thing that I struggled with was hiding my models hair extensions but I managed to overcome this by applying more backcombing to the root of the hair.
I was especially pleased with my eye makeup for this look and was careful not to add too much product which prevented creasing. On all previous makeup practises, this is something that had happened so I was really pleased that I prevented this on the day. I was pleased with my makeup base and thought that MAC face and body worked beautifully on my models skin. I was happy with my colour matching and thought the skin looked really healthy and natural.
I think that although I wanted my hairstyle to have a slightly messy feel to it, I do think that I could have done better. I really struggled to work around the models hair extensions and felt that this stopped me from achieving my full potential. As an artist, I know that when working on jobs I won't always know the condition of the hair so it is something I will have to adjust quickly too but I did feel a little disheartened with the hair as I felt it could have been better. My headpiece was the main focal point of my hair design for me and I was really pleased with it. The piece secured to the hair completely and did not move while I was styling the hair.
Overall, I'm really pleased with my finished piece but do think that there are areas I could improve on for next time. This was a really exciting project and I loved being able to have the freedom to create and achieve whatever I wanted.
