I am so proud, happy, excited, everything about what I did. When I started I had no idea that my final images are going to look like this, but personally, I absolutely love the result!  Hope you enjoy it too!
Many thanks to everyone who helped me to achieve this: teaching staff, Lauren, Rafael, you are amazing!

Sneak peak of the final outcome - before and after

I had the final shooting today. I am too exhausted to write everything right now. All I can say is that I was in the studio from 9 to 5, working continuously. I had a collaboration with a second year Fashion Styling student in the morning and I had to do the make-up for her "behind the scenes" short film. After that I did my model's make-up and my shooting. My model was Lauren, which I have to thank forever for her patience, and my assistant was Rafael, my boyfriend, who helped me enormously with the lighting.

Here's a sneak peak of the final outcome and also a before and after the "natural" make-up:

Make-up tests for the final natural beauty look

I have a clear image of what kind of make-up I want to do for the final shoot and I hope that it will turn out well, because these pictures I took of me don't encourage me much. I think that I don't like them that much because they don't really stick to the brief, because of the smudged smokey eye. But if I'll remove it then maybe it will look better but still not incomplete. I tried to do freckles with a darker foundation but I don't know why, on me just look like pimples. I hope that on my model (Lauren) won't look the same... anyway, I think it's all about the lighting. So, proper lighting, proper images. Even a not so good make-up looks fab when professional pictures are taken of it.

Second practice session

Today was our first practice in the studios from floor 4 and also my second practice. I paired with Lauren and Sian and they were great models, assistants and photographers at the same time :)). We used the beautydish this time and I particularly liked it because of that round light that we can see in the model's eyes when shooting with a beautydish. What I didn't like is that I found the lightning a bit harsh at the beginning, but after I set it up properly everything went good. This time I gave up using the tripod because I just couldn't work with it, but I realisez that the photos could easily be ruined because they can get blurry sometimes if I move or don't focus correctly etc. But that's fine, I have to work more at focusing the pictures better and at adjusting the flash properly.

Here are a few photos from my practice session:
