I have started looking into a variety of make up designs that I could possibly use for my contemporary new Elizabethan make up. Iv'e draw up 3 new make up designs that are based around the Elizabethan theme however have contemporary techniques and ideas to them. I started looking into different colours that I could use for my make up design and what look represent the Elizabethan era. On the day of our assessment we will bring in our final design, notes of how to create the look and pictures, this will help my partner create the look I designed for them on me. Below I have draw up 3 new Ideas that could possibly lead towards my final design.
CONTEMPORARY TO HISTORICAL ELIZABETHAN DESIGNS
|
This first design I have created is very contemporary however has Elizabethan influences to it. I've made the skin very pale which is a natural and sometimes forced colour in the Elizabethan era as it was popular too have pale white skin. I've based this design round the colour of deep purple, this is because I feel the colour purple represents royalty . For the cheeks I've contoured them with purple and slightly going up the sides of the face, this technique is very contemporary and is used in modern day. The eye lashes I've put them completely white and blocked out the eyebrows with soap and applied white over the top. It was very traditional in the Elizabethan era to have very fair eyebrows or either none at all. The lips I kept them really small in the middle with a harsh line to define the lips, this was done with purple supra paint. |

As you can see in the design I've kept the base of the make up traditionally very pale again. I used a red powder to contour the cheeks and up the side of the face and down onto the forehead. This creates a heart shape on the face with the contrast of white to red. For the eyelashes they are painted white again to keep them very light and fair, the eyebrows this time is just combed through with the white paint to make the eyebrows look like there completely gone. The lips again are the same style and shape however is painted with a deep red. |

This design is very similar to the first design I've just changed it ever so slightly. The base is the same, very pale and flawless, the contours the same, just highlighting the bone structure and giving definition and the lips are painted in the middle with the purple supra paint. The slight difference I've done in this design is that I've applied purple eye liner to the water line to highlight the eyes and instead of the eyebrows being traditionally white I've gone very contemporary with this design and painted the eyebrows purple with the supra paint, this would be applied with a small brush and just colour in the eyebrows were the original brow is. In each design I want the skin flawless and powdered so its not greasy at all. This is very traditional Elizabethan as in the 16th century they would tend to powder there face alot so it was very powdery, so much that you could see it. |
