First Miss Havisham Assessment *

These are the images from my first Miss Havisham assessment. On the whole I was really pleased with how the assessment went, I felt as though I was able to complete the look easily within the time provided, and that it wasn't too hard to re create what I had practiced. I think the hardest part of my design to re create will be the lips as it is difficult to be precise in creating the tears. For this reason, I created a dry look all over the mouth but one larger, more prominent tear that should be easier to recreate in my second assessment. 

To make it easier to recreate next time, I began the hair by creating a neat, late victorian hairstyle. Instead of pulling out lots of strands from the bun (as I knew this would be difficult to re create exactly) I created my messy effect by backcombing the front pieces of hair. I then used dry shampoo, focusing on the roots of the hair as that is where Miss Havisham would be naturally greying. 

I will continue to practice this look, to ensure I can recreate it for my second assessment.
