Anita Berber Continuity P1

Over two studio lessons, we are to partner up and create our own historical interpretation of Anita Berber on each other. We have 45 minutes each to complete the hair and makeup. The following week, we are to recreate the same look to test our continuity.  

The makeup products I used for this assessment were:

-       Kryolan Foundation Palette
-       Illamasqua Translucent Loose Powder
-       Maybelline Great Lash Mascara (Very Black)
-       NYX Eyebrow Palette
-       MAC Chromagraphic Pencil (Basic Red)
-       Sleek Eyeshadow Palette (Bad Girl)
-       Bobbi Brown Lipstick (No. 10 RED)
-       Rimmel London Lipstick (No. 170 ALARM)
-       Illamasqua Powder Blush (Ambition)

The products and equipment I used for the hair style were:

-       Hair brushes
-       Grips and hair ties
-       Curling tongs
-       Dry Shampoo
-       Hair Spray

How I created the hairstyle...

1  Brush through the hair and spritz with dry shampoo
2   Part the hair slightly off centre
3   In sections, take pieces of hair around the parting (top layer of hair) and curl using curling tongs
4   Carefully slide the hair off of the tong and grip in place to cool
5   Using the curling tongs, curl the hair around the front of the hair line towards the back of the head and also secure
6   Back comb the rest of the hair, working from the bottom upwards
7   Loosely gather the back combed hair and tie at the end with a hair tie
8   Starting at the tie, roll the hair underneath, around your fingers, to the nape of the neck
9   Secure at the nape with grips
10   Tease around the face and secure with hair spray
11  Release the curls and loosen over the backcombed bob
12  Secure with hairspray
13  Brush back the side of the hair and pin discreetly.

THE OUTCOME

Due to unfortunate circumstances, my partner (Terri-Anne) and I were unable to create our first Anita Berber look on the scheduled assessment day. Instead, we were able to do it in our own time which meant we didn't have a professional camera to take the photos.
These are the images produced from the assessment. 

I am really pleased with the outcome of this first assessment, especially the hairstyle. I'd only ever practised on a dolls head and I was pleased and relieved to have the style work really well on an actual model too.  There are, annoyingly, a lot of fly aways with the hairstyle. Had I of considered this before, I would have tried to tame them with a comb and hairspray.
