For my final design I decided to look in a few places to get
some inspiration, I looked at some contemporary images and also some Elizabethan
portraits. Looking at the portraits it was quite hard to see what makeup they
had on but I saw some of the typical Elizabethan makeup traits and hoped to incorporate
them into my final design. The first
portrait I looked at was the image below, it shows Elizabeth I, looking cold
and serious. I can see from looking at it that she has red lips, and a pale complexion,
these were both very popular looks in the Elizabethan era. A lot of Elizabethan
portraits have things in them that have different meanings from this painting I
can see that she wears pearls, which in these portraits could symbolise purity
and wealth. Also Elizabeth looks like she has no eyebrows in the picture so I took
this and incorporated in my design.
