Initial experimentation for this project has been based around collecting everyday materials and applying them to the face. Initially I was drawn towards the idea of using egg shells to create a dynamic surface on the skin, show the fragility of the material. I began by using larger fragments of eggshells to created a patterned effect on the skin. However after the initial one to one tutorial I was advised to think about how I can use and apply materials in a unique way that hasn't been done before and that pushes the boundaries of aesthetics in makeup. With this in mind I crushed the eggshells and ground them into an almost powder substance and re-applied them to the skin. The result was extremely effective and differed from the first application in that the result was much more ambiguous and the material used could not immediately be recognised. This is something I will have to focus on throughout the project to ensure I produce work that is innovative and fresh.
