Traditional Elizabethan Make-up

Traditional Elizabethan Make-up

products used: Illamasqua skin base 001, Illamasqua setting powder, Kryolan pink blusher, Kryolan cream white paint on lashes, Kryolan lip palette lc302

I applied the white base with a foundation brush, the setting powder with a big fluffy brush, the blusher with a smaller fluffy angled brush, used a mascara wand on the eyebrows and applied the lip colour with my fingers.

This make-up was quite simple and easy to do, the effects of the make-up looked pasty on the face I am guessing this is what the Elizabethan make-up would look like as they wore think make-up. I enjoyed doing this and thought I done really well but I don't like the textured and thickness of the make-up if I was an Elizabethan I would make sure I  had smooth make-up or would not leave the house.
