This is my first face chart that I have designed. I was inspired by the patterns that Paperself use in their lashes so I decided to incorporate pattern into my make-up design, as the Elizabethans also used lots of rich pattern in their clothing. I would start by applying a pale base, not white, to the skin mixed with a matte primer, and I would conceal in the necessary places. I would then powder on top to set the base and I would put the pale pink Illamasqua powder blusher in 'tremble' on the cheeks and slightly up the sides of the head and on the forehead but only a little. I would then line al the way round the eyes with a black eyeliner so they really stand out. I would then get my patterned stencil and mix my gold loose eyeshadow with some duraline to make it a liquid form and paint it through the stencil onto the face across the eye area like a mask. I would then apply a pair of lashes of a moderate length and thickness to define the eye. Finally on the lips I would use a Bobbi Brown high shine lipgloss in 'Bellini 14' which is a pale pink gloss with lots of pink and gold glitter particles in it. I think this make-up look is a mix of both Elizabethan and contemporary make-up as there are Elizabethan elements such as the rosy cheeks, pale skin, pale lips and gold colouring a pattern, but it is modernised because in the way the make-up is applied around the eyes and what products are used.
For my second design, I would also start with a pale base but not a white base and I would mix it with a satin primer and conceal in the necessary areas and powder on top. I would then contour the cheeks using an Illamasqua powder bronzer and I would also add 'tremble' powder blush to the cheeks. I would then prime the eyelids and start on the inner eye with 'half baked' from the naked palette which is a vibrant gold eyeshadow. I would then progress to 'smog' which is a deep bronze shadow and then into 'darkhorse' on the outer corners of the eye which is a shimmery chocolate brown to give a rich glossy smokey eye. I would then use a black eyeliner to line around the eye and would use the Paperself lashes o he outer corner of each top eyelid, and I would also pain the tips of the lashes in a liquidized gold shadow. I would then fill in the brows to make them statement brows, and finally I would use a MAC stain lipstick in 'cyber' on the lips which is a deep purple colour to tie the look together. I think this look is a good mix of contemporary and Elizabethan make-up as there are Elizabethan elements such as the rosy cheeks and the rich gold and purple colours and pale skin, but modernised with contouring and how the colours are used on the face and the addition of patterned lashes.
For this design, I would make a skin base mixing a pale foundation with the Illamasqua white foundation and the matte primer, and would then powder over the top. I would use 'tremble' blusher on the cheeks to give some colour to the skin. I would then line the eyes with a white eyeliner and use a black eyeshadow to create the design on the forehead and around the eyebrows, and would stick a pair of Paperself lashes on top of the eyeshadow where the eyebrows would be. I would then use the white foundation to colour all of he lashes in white. For the lips, I would use my MAC 'cyber' lipstick and would dab some gold loose eyeshadow in the centre of the lips as I think gold and purple compliment each other well and are very rich and royal colours. Down the neck I would liquidize the gold eyeshadow and use a stencil to create a decretive pattern. I think this make-up look is a good mix of contemporary and Elizabethan designs, as it has pale skin, rosy cheeks, pale eyes and rich colours and patterns, but with the modern twists such as the design round the eye and where and how the make-up is applied.
