Collage photos from both timed assessments

When comparing the pictures in a collage, just like in did in this blog post, I started to feel really sorry about not taking notes about the camera settings and the lighting setups at the first assessment. The outcome looks a bit different just because of how the photo looks which may affect the viewer's perception about the make-up and the hair overall. The poses were quite different too, but I hope that wouldn't affect much. And the styling of the clothing, especially with the back shot, is different because when I first took the pictures at the first assessment the model was wearing a scarf, but I decided to go without it and take another shots, and I forgot to take a back shot as well without the scarf... This is to remeber next time when I have to work to maintain continuity. Overall I am satisfied with the result althought I could have done it better... but it's the first time, I should be more indulgent with myself, right? No, I know I shouldn't... but at least this makes me feel less guilty.

Timed assessment 2

Ok, so the second timed assessment is finally over. That means that the timed assessments are over. That means that I am happy. Happy for that and happy that almost everything went well. I liked how the result turned out the second time except for the hair which I felt that didn't look 100% exactly the same, but anyway you couldn't tell the difference without having multiple looks at the first assessment picture and the second. I followed the exact same steps as I did at the previous exam when it comes to the make-up application, except that I used a different foundation because in the meantime I ran out of the Make Up Forever HD one. But Kryolan worked well though I couldn't mixt it with anything else as this one is a grease-based foundation (really good looking on a dry skin) and the other ones I've got (and the moisturizers as well) were water based. About the photography, because I didn't take lighting setups at the previous assessment, I just used whatever setup it was at the moment and it turned out to be a bit different but that's it. At least the make-up was completely the same. And the brows, oh, the brows...

Timed assessment 1

I am pretty excited about how this assessment went. Everything was good, I had enough time to finish the look, my model helped me a lot with caring for his skin to look its best, everything was carefully planned and prepared and I think that the result is beautiful too. I think I've managed to recreate Dorian Gray as he would have been in the late-Victorian era, young, charming and with attitude (except for the fact that in the book he had longer hair, but this could have been him after a visit to the barber). 

I took continuity notes during the assesment as well because I have changed some stuff during the assessment because I thought that this would look better. 

The only regret I have is that I didn't take continuity notes for the photography to make sure that next time it will look the same... but to be honest people were waiting in the queue for me to finish taking pictures after the assessment and I was too nervous to remember taking notes. 

That's how the finished result looks:
