A few days ago my partner and I got together to discuss her New Elizabethan make up design and for me to have a practice at it.

| Becky's Face Chart |
Upon initial inspection of Becky's face chart I noticed that its a fairly artistic representation of the Elizabethan era. It involves the application of a mixture of water and flour to the face to create a sort of mask. This mask then dries and make up is applied over the top to represent the damage elizabethan cosmetics would have done to the wearers face.
Here's the look I created on the day.
Im really pleased with the outcome considering it was my first attempt using materials Id never used before. There are a few things I need to work on though.
1. I need to apply less flour mixture to the cheeks as in this attempt it didn't dry in time and didn't produce the cracked effect Becky was aiming for.
2. I need to blend the flour mixture in to the hair line more to make the application look more finished and flawless, and thus do the same with the products used on top.
3. My contouring needs a bit of work, on one side I've taken it further down the cheek and also the placement is a little bit off. Next time i need to remember to build up the application gradually and also to feel the cheek to help my placement
Becky also decided that another layer of white skin base over the top would be needed to intensify the white as at the moment it looks a bit too pink.
In this post I haven't gone in to great detail about the process used to complete the look as on this occasion Becky just wanted to get comfortable with using the products and the overall look she was aiming for.
