The Make-Up Studio - CONTEMPORARY ELIZABETHAN MAKE-UP

How to create a CONTEMPORARY ELIZABETHAN LOOK

Mix your model’s correct foundation shade on the back of your hand with the white foundation and matte primer

Apply all over the skin, including ears and neck, using the foundation brush and buff in well using the buffing brush

Powder the face well using the powder brush

Apply the blusher to the cheek bones using the contouring brush, and blend away any harsh lines created using the highlighting brush

Using three eye shadow colours of your choice (I used Taupe, Conker and Mineral Earth from the Sleek eye shadow palette) create a contoured eye shadow effect as practiced in week five

Add a eyeliner to the top and lower lash lines using the angled brush and finish off the eyes by adding a touch of mascara to the lashes by using a disposable mascara wand

Then add the lip colour to the lips, being sure that you get the lip line perfect
