Whilst on our trip to London to visit the National Portrait Gallery we had the chance to do some shopping where at Illamasqua I couldn't help but notice that the looks from their new collection 'Facets Once... Enduring beauty' seemed to be very Elizabethan. I feel as though these look very modern Elizabethan.
For example this advertisement seems to be very Elizabethan inspired to me because of the lack of eyebrows the model has. The skin also seems to have a porcelain look to it and the lips are rouged like that of many Elizabethan women. However I feel that Illamasqua have put a modern twist on this look by having a slight contour on the cheeks (a big 'trend' now) and by having the hair slightly on the face as opposed to how Elizabethan women would have theirs in a style out of the face.
Once again this advertisement feels very Elizabethan to me. This is because of the red hair up in a tall hairstyle. This also feels Elizabethan to me because of the way the cheeks have been blushed quite heavily, however once again I feel like this has a modern element to the look with the use of the smokey eye.
