Final & Chosen Face Chart & Inspiration

This was my third & final face chart that I created; 

For this, I decided to have a foundation matching the skin colour of the model apart from the mask like white going across the eyes, bridge of the nose & temples. Like my previous face chart, I wanted to keep the mask white but I made it a bit more dramatic. In this, it shows that I have had the eyebrows drawn in but when practising my design, I changed it to have them blocked out so they are white with the rest of the mask. This is to keep the historical aspect of the  Elizabethan makeup. I got more inspiration for the mask from this picture;

I like how she put her own special twist on such a simple, classic look. She used a rich red to match the red jems that are placed on her face to create the mask.

The lips that I have designed are using two colours from the Kryolan Supacolour pallet, the deep red, purple & gold. I made them ombré by having the red on the outside & blending into the purple with the gold slightly applied on top of the purple in the mouth crease. I like how it's done this because it's made it feel much more contemporary by adding more colours. Another thing about my design is the blusher I've used. It goes around my hairline in a heart shape and follows round into my cheek bones to add a slight contour. I did the heart shape in the hairline to resemble how sometimes, the Elizabethans would use jewellery to fall from the hair onto the forehead. This is what my practise of my design came out like; 

I really like how it turned out because my artist did an amazing job at getting it spot on to how I wanted it. However, we did forget to add the beauty mark on the left side of the cheek & I've also changed it to add black false eyelashes. I did this because I feel like my eyes are being blended in when I really want them to stand out. 

I produced another face chart to show the slight changes between my third, and what I thought was my final face chart & my actual final face chart. This is what it looks like; 

I really love my final contemporary design because I believe that you can still see the Elizabethan aspects in it but you can also see how I've made it contemporary. I hope that another practise comes out exactly like this.
