Historical Elizabethan Make-Up

    In one of our recent seminars we was told to recreate a historical Elizabethan make-up in a few simple steps! We also learnt that we could use our Charles Fox Super Colour palette for mascara, brows and pretty much anywhere on the face and body, which came in handy for todays lesson as we had to create white eyelashes and brows to complete todays look.
 
Step 1:

Prime, apply foundation and powder using Illamasqua Skin Base in the shade 01 until your face has an even pale white finish.

Step 2:

Using Charles Fox Super Colour palette and a mascara wand, pick up some of the white body paint onto the brush and brush though the brows and eyelashes until they're completely white.

Step 3:

Next using the Charles Fox blush palette apply a pink or red blush to the apple of the cheek in a circular motion until you have your desired intensity and shape.

Step 4:

Lastly, using the Charles Fox lip palette apply a red lipstick to your mouth trying to not be too tidy with the shape as Elizabethans wouldn't have brushes to apply a crisp lip line so keep that in mind when you recreate this for yourself.
