Contemporary Elizabethan Final Look

Contemporary Elizabethan Final Look

Here is a face chart for what will hopefully be my final design for my Contemporary Elizabethan makeup assessment which is coming up in a couple of weeks. I will give a breakdown and details of how I would like the outcome of the design to be when applied to the face.

As you can see my design is quite subtle and minimal as I wanted to focus more on the lips and the cheeks for this design. There is a lot of gold to be seen on the face chart which I feel shows Elizabethan as gold was seen to be worn by people of higher class in society and was seen as a royal colour but also gold can also have a contemporary feel to it so I decided to think outside of the box and have the eyelashes coated in gold supra colour instead of the normal black or white. 

For the base of my makeup look I have tried a white base but I feel this look would be better if a white foundation and a hint of natural colour foundation were to be mixed together to give a paled and washed out colour not just pure white. Contouring is more of a modern thing to do in makeup so I decided to keep with the blusher is seen the be very Elizabethan but instead of just applying to the apples of the cheeks I want to gradually and lightly build up the blusher colour in a more of a shader was up and over to define the cheekbones more and then add a sweeping of highlighter under the eyes and down the nose to give more definition to the face. 

I want the eyebrows to be blocked out for my final look which will be done by using a bar or soap and water and to be built up into a paste across the eyebrow hairs and smooth them down ready for the foundation application. 

Then finally for the lips I want to use the gold supra colour again which I think makes this look very contemporary and gives it a more modern and editorial feel to the overall look.
