Final evaluation:From the designer to the Makeup Artist.

I am really impressed with Erin's execution of my design. She was really well practised and I really felt that She understood my design and what I wanted from her as an artist.  She seemed excited about completing my design which was a really nice feeling as It meant I could trust that she would put her all into it.
Erin was on time to the assessment and had her brushes marked, her station set up ready for assessment. She was calm and prepared for the assessment. She was wearing all black with her hair tied back and had washed her hands before she began . She then caped me in preparation of the application. She cleansed, toned and moisturised my face and began the application.
I was very happy with Erin's application on the day of the timed assessment. She managed to complete a symmetrical application. Erin had struggled with the placement of the eyeshadow in previous practise's and how far to blend it out but I feel that she aced this in the timed assessment.  This was important as the blending was the most important aspect of my design. I really feel that Erin understood the depth of colour I was after with my design and that she had a good understanding of the techniques needed to complete my design to my satisfaction. Erin did struggle with the symmetry of the lip application also in previous practise sessions but I feel that she again overcame this in the timed assessment. The eyebrows were shaped and filled in symmetrically and the liner on the eyes and false lashes were applied correctly. The only critique I would give Erin would be that I think she could have put a bit more Translucent powder over the base to set it to stop the shine in the images and the movement of the white base but all in all Im really happy with the outcome and how everything came together and I feel that this is a great showcase of Erin's makeup artistry skills.

I'm very pleased with the application so I have decided to grade Erin an A4. I feel that she displayed professionalism and she managed to complete the timed assessment within the set parameters with time to spare for touch ups.
