Final evaluation of the unit

The Elizabethan unit was very interesting to me, finding out the cosmetics that Tudor women used also the recipes of them and finding out more about the history of how women wore their make up and hair, what they thought was beautiful and acceptable. I have definitely improved my research skills because this unit required a lot of research using books, websites and other sources. My practical skills also developed significantly because this unit involved a lot of practicing on other people, applying make up, learning how to cleanse, tone and moisturize, working with make up brushes and other techniques that needed to be learnt. My practical skills especially developed during the time that I needed to practice my partner's make up design before timed assessment. My time management skills also improved significantly because I had to make time for my partner to practice on me and also for me to practice on her, but most importantly to make sure I don't run out of time on my times assessment time. This unit tought me all about Elizabethan make up, how women preferred to wear it, the recipes of the cosmetics which some of the ingredients shocked me, also how to work with someone else, how to apply the make up products correctly using appropriate brushes, and how to work under pressure when there is a time limit. I made sure I stay up to date with my blog because if I fall behind I start to feel stressed, I did join late to this course however I was able to catch up with all the work that I needed to do which I am proud of, also I was very happy with the outcome of the make up design that I needed to do, I achieved the desired look that my partner wanted and managed to do it on time which is a big achievement for me.
