Here are the final shots of my recreation of an image suitable for a high fashion magazine cover. See further development and prep in my previous post!

Not planned but we added a hat! It seemed to work with the makeup!

Evaluation:
I found this assessment more challenging than our previous one as there was an extra person to factor in! Rather than just having to organise a model as we have done in past assessments and taking our own photos, this time a Photographer was needed. Trying to get everyone in the same space at the same time proved a little more difficult and I had to factor time in for postponements and cancellations.
On the day I found I went over my timings which made me feel under pressure as our Photographer was there early! He seemed happy to take tests shots and chat but still, I felt a bit rushed as I didn't want to keep him hanging around longer than ness.
I started with the makeup look. I was happy with the result overall before going on to the hair. The hair turned out ok but the plaits weren't as low as I had previously imagined. I went with it anyway.
After a few hours everyone decided they were hungry - we took a pizza break before the final shots. *possibly a mistake...
This meant the makeup needed touching up, I went back in over the lips but I think in hindsight I should have totally removed the lip colour and reapplied it as the end results look a little patchy in places. Aqua colour is not smooth like lipstick and can crack up after a while. I was really happy with the mascara look which stayed on perfectly throughout pizza!
We took loads of shots but we were unhappy with the lighting. Unfortunately we weren't able to change it due to our location so we had to work with what we had.
We couldn't seem to get the shot we wanted, something was always a little amiss even though our model was doing a fantastic job! The hair was bugging me so we decided to add the hat in - which thankfully really complimented the look.
We got our final shots and the skin looked beautiful and fresh as planned, the plaits are still just about showing and I was pleased the neon makeup look.
After playing with a bit of Photoshop I decided on the colour image with the pink background for my final cover shot. This is the one I chose to use to recreate a front cover. Up until this point I hadn't decided on which magazine I would use it for but I finally chose Elle. Although this look would have suited a few of the other choices, when I looked into Elle's recent front covers, they have been using slightly more edgy photos of late.
I am really happy with the overall image, I'd like to recreate more in future.
