Senior Project Reflection


(1) Positive Statement

I'm really proud that everyone had a really fun time. Everyone seemed genuinely interested and willing to participate in everything. My 2 hr outcome was amazing.


(2) Questions to Consider

AE. I think I worked pretty hard on my  hr and my entire senior year. I think I deserve it and I definitlety went above and beyond. I custom make metal plates at my dads shop so everyone had the proper material and so were the cosmeics. STayed really late setting up and cleaning for the room to be perfect.

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)? Why?

AE. I gave it my all. My senior project went further than I expected it to go. I put in over 200 hours and understand my topic with great deatail. It has turned into a career for me that I'm extremely proud of.

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?

Service learning was amazing. Getting exposer in the make-up industry and getting the skills to make it in the industry.

(4) What didn’t work for you in your senior project?

I had to go to high school so sometimes I'd miss out on really good make-up opportunities; but I wouldn't be where i am without IPOLY.

(5) Finding Value

This is now my career. I will possibly be signing a contract with Ruby make-up academy this summer along with the unbelievable opportunity of working on the TV show Faceoff. I've gotten a lot of experience and I'm extremely grateful for senior project.

Answer 1

1) The best technique for the application of horror film make-up is to know proper brush stroke techniques when detailing the model.

2) A trained make-up artist with control of the brush will in the end come out with the most exact detailing of the face.  Without proper education the end product will come out sloppy.

3) My source is my make-up instructor, Liz Mendoza.

Blog 4 - Presentation Reflection

1) The interview didn't affect my presentation all that much. My interview was focused more on the horror aspect of makeup. It did however make me want to talk more about sanitation and makeup, because a lot of girls don't know how important it truly is. In my presentation i talked about how the makeup that gets caught in the barrel build up baterial and causes you to break out.

2) Not app[lying makeup correctly can make you look older really seemed to stand out to alot of girls because no one want to look grandmothers.


3) Thinking of what to present on was very difficult to me because I didn't want to pick something that might be of use to me later on but at the same time I didn't want the presentation to be boring.
