Within the major project, collaboration will provide the makeup artist with different elements and components overall adding to each image. This will allow the makeup artist to delegate different jobs to individuals that are skilled in each particular area. Collaboration within the industry is very common. Makeup artist will often work with many different professions including mainly photographers, fashion designers, and directors. Being able to work with different people, as a team is very important when project managing along with being able to manage the team involved in your own project. Due to this, the makeup artist felt as though it was important to collaborate with others to show their team working and managing abilities.
The main collaborator that the makeup artist intends to work with is a fashion student from the college. For one of the images of the major project, a dress made of money is a key concept to the look as part of an effort to put across the point of the fast fashion’s greed of money over sustainability. The makeup artist is not skilled in fashion textiles and so therefore it made it obvious to collaborate with someone who is skilled in this. Initial sketches of a design were put into place in order to aid in visualising a clear concept and to also help establish to a fashion student what wanted to be achieved. The first initial stages of this collaboration included reaching out to the head of the BA fashion department, outlining ideas and design concepts in a formal email. This will allow direction to an appropriate candidate for the design concept.

If this concept is unable to be conducted due to any time constraints or factors such as COVID 19, the makeup artist intends to use green and gold coloured clothing instead. A headdress made out of dollar bills by the makeup artist will be the focal point of the look as well as an elaborate makeup design to assist this.
