Wear a Mask of Yourself - Final Images

 Since my mask was my makeup but emphasized my final image had to capture the application of the makeup. I wanted it to portray the application of makeup as if to go on a night out, which is why I wore my nice wig instead of just exposing my gross hair. Though I think I could have put on a different outfit to reinforce the look.

The pictures are taken in a bathroom mirror as this is the general make-up application/getting ready area for most. The way the edge of the mirror and other bathroom stuff is included in the image helps to set the scene for the image but I feel like my positioning is better in the second image as that's how I generally stand while I'm doing my makeup, leaning into the mirror so I can see what I'm doing a bit better whereas in the first image I'm more slouched, so to me it looks rather unnatural.

The second image would have been perfect if there had just been some of the shelf, or bathroom stuff around, as it would have given some extra context to the image. I'm not sure you could even tell the image had been taken in a mirror if you didn't know already. In this image the eyes are definitely looking more into the mirror, so this helps to make it look like a natural process, the first photo's eyes seem to look slightly into the camera though this may just be the way the band is bending.
