Face Charts For Contemporary Elizabethan Looks

Contemporary Elizabethan Ideas

I think this look is quite striking because of the bold lips and with only having black on the eyes. I have used the colours associated with Elizabethan make-up and covered the eyebrows to make it Elizabethan but I don’t think the look is as visually interesting as I would like it to be. I think more colours are needed to achieve this.

This look is a softer version of the previous design with more defined eyebrows and softer shading on the cheeks but I still think a wider range of colour is needed to make it look more modern.

I did this design to create a striking look by only using a few colours and used colours that were popular in Elizabethan times with a few modern twists for example the graphic shaping around the eyebrows. I do not think that this look is strong enough though and does not show the Elizabethan influences obviously enough.

In this look I used Elizabethan styles of make-up on the top halves of the eyebrows, eyes and lips and modern make-up on the bottom halves. I like this look but I would like the modern and Elizabethan to blend together more seamlessly in my final design.

In this look I did modern night make-up on most of the face with Elizabethan make-up blending from the bottom corner of the face to represent that the Elizabethan style is being taken over by the modern. However I think this look doesn’t mix the two eras together very well.

This design has Elizabethan make-up with modern day make-up on the eyes and lips to show the modern day look taking over the historical look and they almost blend together to represent how the modern has evolved from the past.

In this design I used modern make-up with Elizabethan make-up on the eye lashes, cheeks and inside of the lips to represent how the modern day make-up looks have evolved from the Elizabethan looks. I think this look is the most striking and uses the most colour so I am going to use this as my final design. The eye shadow is a modern day smokey eye and I have used black, grey and white so that I have a acromatic colour scheme on the eyes to link to the colour theory work we have done. Ive used modern day contouring on the cheeks, temples, chin and nose with an Elizabethan pink blusher. The lips have a modern day pink/red colour with a paler more Elizabethan colour blended into the centre. I have tried to do my look so that it represents how the past Elizabethan looks have evolved into modern day make-up.
