I was really happy with my creation on Bryony. I had practised some of the make up before and I had also practised the hairstyle.

The part I was most nervous about was blocking out the eyebrows. When doing the assessment I blocked out the eyebrows and followed with the foundation. I felt like I could've done better on blocking them out, so I thought about it quickly as decided to redo them.  Using some cleanser and a cotton bud I removed them without touching the foundation the best I can. I then began the process of using the pritt stick, I used more this time and used my fingers to smooth down the eyebrows.

I was really pleased with my hairstyle especially as I find I struggle with hair more than make up. I just kept calm and took my time and followed the instructions that Bryony gave me. The set I did came out perfect for the style I was trying to achieve which was because of the direction I barrel curled the hair.  I also notice after looking at the images that the back of the hair on the profile image slightly dips.  To change this, I should’ve used some more bobby pins to hold it up and give it an all round even shape.

I also missed something off the list of instructions, which was a tiny beauty spot.  I didn’t realise until I had taken the pictures and Bryony started removing her make up.  I was very annoyed that I missed this off as it was my own fault for not going through the instructions properly and I was so in the moment I just completely forgot.

Also, looking at these images I can see that Bryony’s skin is quite dewy.  I should’ve added some more finishing powder to give more of a matte look.
