On Monday 2nd December, Kira completed her Timed Assessment, for the Timed Assessment, Kira had to apply my Hair and Make Up Design on me, in an hour and a half. This allowed 45 minutes for the hair, and 45 minutes for the Make Up.
During the Assessment, Kira did my hair first, we had come to a joint decision that it would be best to do the hair first as that way, my hair was pulled away from my face when it came to adding the brow detail. Kira did my hair well, keeping calm under the pressure, it also helped that she had a well organised work space. When it came to the hair I also think we worked really well as a team, the bun at the back of the head was quite tricky to style as it incorporated ribbon for decoration, so whilst Kira was placing the ribbon, I made sure the finishing pins were ready and in my hand for her to simply pick up and place in my hair, she also crimped my hair and created a heart shape at the front of the head. This was the part of the hair design that I feel we were both least happy with, purely because one side of the hair started to drop and go a little flat, if we had time for Kira to backcomb the hair more, I feel this would of resolved the issue, we also didn't have time to apply all the ribbon, but I feel this didn't affect the look hugely.
I think Kira's application of my Make Up Design was her stronger point, she applied an even base of both colours and made sure they were blended, although after a while the White Foundation did start the crease. She followed my Instruction Pack well and was constantly using hand sanitiser to make sure everything was hygienic. She applied a subtle wash of colour to the eyes which was exactly what I wanted, and did the same with the blush, creating a nice soft finish. When it came to applying the pattern above the brows, which was very fiddly, Kira made sure everything was symmetrical and applied the colour evenly. If I was to ask her to improve anything, it would be to of made the lips a little neater and apply more of the red to the middle so that the ombre stood out more. But overall, I was really happy with how well Kira executed my design.
