Final Video Tutorial & Feedback from Ellie Neville

This is the second version of the tutorial. It has been cut down a little and the logo has been changed but ideally I would have like for it to have been cut down a little more. I think for now I will show it as a video which the pieces have been featured in rather than an official tutorial, as I think for an official tutorial it should be filmed in a studio to give a more polished professional finish.

After getting this copy off Ellie I asked her the following questions about the pieces and working with them:

• What was your initial impression of the Abbellita pieces- please refer to design and quality.
• How did you find the application process? was there anything which you feel could have been improved?
• When would you be most likely to use these pieces, both personally and as a make up artist? 
• Are there any more comments you would like to add on the overall experience of working with Abbellita pieces?
• Could you think of any ways in which the ease of application could be improved, or any way the product could be improved to make it more consumer friendly

 Her responses were as follows:

• Initially I thought these Silicone pieces were beautiful and intricate. The designs were varied amongst a theme. The pieces seem sturdy and felt like they would last a day of wear.
• The application was simple. Only a handful of products were needed. However, with the more elaborate pieces I found it difficult to melt away the edges without peeling up edges of the pieces and having to glue them back down, making it a slightly lengthier process
• Personally, I would wear the Abbellita pieces to a festival or a summer occasion. As a professional makeup artist it could be used on a fashion shoot to make the looks different and original
• Overall, the experience of working with these pieces was one I would love to experiment more with!
• The size of the excess silicone around the edge of the piece could be reduced to make it easier to blend and cut down. The pieces could also be pre-painted for consumers to have different collections throughout the year

Ellie commented on the application process and how she struggles with blending the edges out as they would roll back up. I think this could have been down to using witch hazel instead of IPA as the alcohol melts the edges and thins them out so they blend into the skin without pulling. She also spoke about the excess area around the pieces and pre-coloured pieces which are both areas I have begun to look into and experiment with, so this backs up that the development I am doing is important and useful.
