It's rude to stare

A film was also made on this day, which will be shown in the final online exhibition from the 5th May 2010.

Tracks of Tears

'NO' to bullying

It was great fun preparing for this shoot, I designed 'NO' a week before the shoot and asked Cheryl, who has amazing thick red hair to model for me. I managed to wrap her own hair around the letters, without using any fake hair. I wanted to add a personal emphasis to the strength of saying, 'NO', don't put up with bullying, don't keep quiet, speak out.

Don't let time stand still

True beauty lies within

I really enjoyed this FMP shoot, I airbrushed this make-up, changed the hair colour and used plaits/fish-tail plaits.

Hiding behind a mask

Colours of the Rainbow

My arranged model didn't turn up for this shoot but luckily my very good friend, Hannah Perry stepped in to help.
I was using colour, and different products such as paints, make-up, glitter, sugar and flour to construct an experimental look to represent individuality and freedom of identity construction. It was great fun making this look and that's exactly how you should be able to feel when expressing yourself.

Putting a face on to the world

Don’t lock yourself away and cry if you are being bullied-speak out and open your butterfly wings! Show the world you are beautiful. Don’t be sad and hide away, get help and be free, don't suffer in silence.

My Final Major Project

I want to explore make-up further, and be more creative with the use of colour and with the hair techniques I use. After a shoot, I can sometimes feel that I could have done better with my designs. I would like to be able to take the shoot further in some cases and be able to explore ideas, enhancing my make-up even more and improvising with make-up possibilities. However, this is not always possible, but my FMP has now given me this chance. So this is what I intend to practice now, whilst at the same time following a brief.

This blog will show my FMP journey, which hopefully after lots of experimentation, make-up exploration and wild ideas; will result in learning new skills and having more confidence to do exactly what I want to achieve, working fast to get it and becoming a better Make-up&hair artist.
