Inspiration

Red Hair, luxurious textiles and fabrics

This feels very Elizabethan to me. The red hair, large bold patterns and heavy embroidery. 

With the padded hair, pale complexion and doll like features it reminds me of what Elizabeth might have looked like in her older years. The creative director of this makeup look is the legendary Alex Box.

i love the above image. The bold colours. The large hair completely over the top with accessories is the epitomy of the modern Elizabeth. The reds and greens large over the top accessories remind me of the royal colours Elizabeth Tudor was famous for wearing.

Alex box Christmas campaign. This is definitely Elizabethan inspired. The big hair ,the pale skin, no brows.
