For example, the little amount of eye make-up, the heart-shaped lips, and the unusual use of the paler skin around the edges of the face.
Looking at this image actually gave me some inspiration, and pushed me to develop my New Elizabethan design further... Looking back on my design, I was slightly concerned that my look was actually too similar to the image where I originally got the inspiration from (e.g. the use of white around the eyes which blends into skin colour). I have therefore decided that I am going to switch my design around the opposite way - I am going to have skin coloured, very modern make-up around the eyes (e.g. a smokey eye with false eyelashes), and it will then fade out into Elizabethan make-up, e.g. pale skin, red lips, etc.
Therefore, my design is going to show a literal transition from modern to Elizabethan in the space of just one face. Around the eye area, it will almost be an explosion of modernity and today's contemporary society, with very dark heavy make-up, and this will fade out across the face, and merge into very pale skin around the edges of the face, and it will include red cheeks, (if the merge reaches that far) as well as a more Elizabethan lip colour, instead of a dark burgundy.
I will create a new face chart trying out my design/look I am thinking of, and see how it works when put on paper. If this is successful, I will then try the look on myself or a model, to see if it remains effective.
