The thing I notice the most is blood, one minute there is blood all over someone and the next it's nearly placed next to them and then it flips back again. There are so many movie mistakes that the more you learn the more you find things which need to be amended.
I think being able to produce work which is the same each time shows your skills as a make up artist. You can produce the same thing over and over again which shows you know what your doing, you've practised and your well trained.
Today we did a continuity test where I had to do a black eye one someone take it off and start all over again trying to re produce the same look, in the same place using the same colours.
This is the online image I used for inspiration and how the black eyes I produced came out -
As you can see the first picture the colour is very deep and dark, it comes down the socket or the 'bag' of the eye and stops there. There is redness and a tinge of yellow on the skin too. I did use an online image for inspiration for this black eye but I think sometimes following something else is really easy it really hard.
Doing a black eye is quite tricky as you don't want to over do it but you want to make it look real.
The second picture I brought the colour down the eye a little too much and I didn't do it just around the socket area. I feel like the colours are very similar and so I was pleased with that.
The next time I do something like this I really need to concentrate on taking pictures on each step and have them in a sequence so the next time I can look at those and know exactly what I did.
That is where I went wrong here - you get carried away and forget to take the picture when you've done one part.
I find continuity quite hard as it is hard to produce the same thing more than once but to be a make up artist you have to do these things or you aren't as good as you should be. Recreating looks on models should become easier with more practice and the better skill set you get.
