My Final Design

For my final makeup look for contemporary Elizabeth, I chose to use browns and oranges to represent different shades of Elizabeth’s most famous asset – her bright orange hair.

I feel my final look incorporates a lot of Elizabethan style; the pale face and bold lips and cheeks are all elements of Elizabethan makeup, however the use of browns and orange rather than red and pink make it more contemporary.

The majority of the elements within my makeup look refer to Elizabeth directly (i.e. pale skin and orange eye makeup) however for the final assessment I will add in some accessories that refer to the Elizabethan period as a whole to make it more effective and appropriate.
