Practicing my final design

Here is a picture of my final design for the contemporary Elizabethan look. I have taken the colours used in the Elizabethan portrait along with the very defined rosy cheeks and red lips and combined these with the contemporary image of the Queen of hearts, by using heart shaped lips and heart shaped red cheeks. I wanted the base of the face to be kept a natural skin shade to draw attention to the eyes which i used white supra colour and white eyeshadow to create a dusted on masquarade mask shape. I didnt want the whole face to be white or natural because I wanted to incorporate something from each picture, in the portrait the base make up on Elizabeths face is all white and in the modern image it is natural so I have gone for half of one and half of the other. I have blocked out the eyebrows using pritt stick to create an Elizabethan looking high forehead and used stick on pearls to decorate the forehead as Queen Elizabeth was known to be a big fan of wearing pearls. I am going to practice again tomorrow using the aqua colours as I feel shading and creating a soft line with supra colour make up is quite difficult.
