Make up practical week 6

Traditional Elizabethan Make up.

Equipment:

• ·      Full make up kit.

Traditional Elizabethan make up was a very pale face and eyebrows. No mascara or liner. Lashes would be pale or white too. Blusher was applied just on the apples of the cheeks and a slight bit of lip colour.

• ·      Use primer and white foundation all over the face, up to hairline, lips, ears and neck.
• ·      Lighten the eyebrows with the white foundation. Brushing against the direction of hair growth.
• ·      Lighten the eyelashes using small brush getting as close as you can to the lash line.
• ·      Heavily powder- don’t worry if it looks dry as this was common in Elizabethan times due to products they used (or lack of resources causing them to create different mixtures of things.)
• ·      Apply pink blusher on to apples of cheeks.
• ·      Apply blusher on to the lips. More pink than orange.

Evaluation: I feel like the practical went well. Next time I would like to block out the eyebrows a bit more and make the lip slightly more prominent.
