CONTEMORARAY ELIZABETHAN MAKE-UP – METHOD

1.     Cleanse tone and moisturize the face to prepare for application. (5-10 minutes)
2.     Block the eyebrows using soap and spatula tool. Make sure the soap is wet. Apply 3/4/5 layers and then powder once slightly dry to keep it in place. (10 minutes)
3.     Apply a light foundation with the white base foundation from Illamasqua. Apply this over the eyebrows by lightly stippling the product on with a sponge. (5minutes)
4.     Use the same light foundation mixing with the white skin base all over the face neck and ears  - REMEMBER EARS! – Use a foundation brush and buff it into the skin. (5-10 minutes)
5.     Powder all of the face, ears and neck well. (1 minute)
6.     Contour the face with the camoflauge pallet  (HIGHLIGHT: cheek bones, brow bone, forehead, on the bow of the lip, bridge of the nose.) (CONTOUR: under the lip, end of the nose, temples, jaw line) blend the contouring of the face well but make sure it is still visible (10 minutes)
7.     Powder the rest of the face (1 minute)
8.     Apply blusher from the apples if the cheeks, upwards to the top of the ear, blend into the skin.
9.     Use an angled lip brush to fill in all the lips (Rimmel London coffee shimmer) apart from the center of the bottom lip (5 minutes)
10. In the middle of the lips apply silver (from the kryolan rainbow circle) and blend it outwards. This will give an ombre effect. (5 minutes)
11. Using the rainbow circle, apply silver all over the eyelids, up over the eyebrows. Take the silver slightly under the eye for a highlighted effect. Using the silver create a blended heart shape from brow to brow – (5-10 minutes)
12. Powder all over the eyes so there are no creases in the product on the eyelid. (1 minute or less)
13. Apply the gold product from the rainbow over both eye lids and blend outwards (5 minutes)
14.  Powder over both eyes again (less than a minute)
15. Using the darker gold from the rainbow wheel, use a fine brush to create a line on the crease of the eye lid and blend out (5 minutes)
16. Powder both lids again (less than a minute)
17. Using the clear eyeliner base product, dip it into the bellapierre gold glitter, and apply as close as possible to the upper lash line and the outer edge of the lower lashes (3 minutes)
18. On the lips apply some colour stay product by bellapierre onto the center of the lip where the silver is, and then press some gold and silver glitter on with your finger. (3 minutes)
19. Using the mascara wand and the rainbow dip the wand into the white/silver and apply to top and bottom lashes (5 minutes)
20. Once the make-up has been retouched and any areas needing more attention have been attended to you can the put the head chain on. Ensure the head chain is sitting right in the center of the head. (3 minutes)

Elizabethan and Contemporary Portraiture

My Chosen Elizabethan Portrait


My Chosen Contemporary Enterpritation





Doe Deere suggesting wealth

Okay so I have to admit when we were asked to find modern portraiture that suggested wealth the same way elizabethan paintings did i may have had a few things in mind already. A bit of an obsession of mine is the amazing Doe deere the woman is the owner and founder of lime crime make-up and has taken part in far too many amazing shots for my eyes to fixate on for months at a time. long story short she is amazing. admittedly there are far more subtle recreations of the wealth shown in elizabethan portraiture today, but doe deere does do it best.

MODELING, MAKEUP BY DOE DEERE

Although it is very clear not only by the name of the editorial but by her attire that the photos are to resemble royalty it is the smaller representations that draw me to it. Like the bright pigmented red on her lips which were such a sign of wealth within the elizabethan era.
