My first face chart I was inspired by the classic Elizabethan red lip, but added a modern twist by creating tear drops of gold going down onto the lid and mirroring it on the bottom lid. I created this as Lettice is known for being second best in the sense that she only got Dudley because the Queen was finished with him, and after she was banished from the courts she still tried to live up to her status, I also chose to use the gold as it symbolises how fame hungry she really is and it's all she really wants to see for herself. For the red lips, it was a reference towards the Elizabethans but it also relates to the devil and it has connotations of being linked to stereotypes of being promiscuous, as in her going off with Dudley and betraying the Queen.
