My Final 3 designs and plans.

Look 1. Red Regal

 For my first look I wanted to capture The wealth and power of my Lady in waiting. With the use of deep reds and pale base colours I wanted to create a powerful look using the eyes as a main feature. For this look I used Kryolans Supra colour palette colour in white for the base and slightly contoured with a dark mauve colour from my mac palette. I then pushed the red from my Supra colour palette all around the eye and then blended it out then placed mac pigment over it to set it. I then used the same red from the kryolan palette to line the lips and i then blended it into the white already on the lips.  This was very easy and simple to apply but created a very dramatic look. As my researched progressed My designs developed and I started to delve deeper into my Lady in waiting's story.

I had practised this look on my partner Erin at the beginning and I loved it. However I feel its not strong enough to be my final design so I decided to do some more research to see how my ideas progressed.

Look 2. cultured and worldly

This is my second design Idea for my Final design. I really wanted to incorporate royal colours and Jewel colours in this design to signify royalty, wealth and the riches of the world (Music, art, language and culture). I feel that this represents Kat Ashley as she was the woman who taught Queen Elizabeth 6 luanguages, art, musical instruments, geography, mathematics, history. I feel that this was amazing for a woman to know these things in those days especially as an unknown woman from a modest-ish background. I also feel that this was an amazing gift that she gave to the future queen. Elizabth was known to have said that Kat ashley spent everyday teaching her new things as to prepare her for her future. I would use Kryolan white base over the face buffed in with a kabuki brush. I would then use eyeshadow from my Kryolan palette to shape,contour and add dimension to the face. I would then add glitter over the top in the same colours (Green, Red, Blue, Pink, Purple and gold) They would be deep tones and blended into each other.  

Look 3. Love and loyalty

This is my final design. This to me symbolises the love and devotion Kat Ashley gave to Elizabeth. She was like a mother to elizabeth. 

'Anne Boleyn gave me life but Kat Ashley gave me love' Quoting Elizabeth the first.

After Elizabeths mother was murdered by her father Kat Ashley was hired by Henry the 8th to be the princess's carer. she never left her side. and Elizabeth was said to have been devastated by her death and was by her bed side when she died. She devoted her whole life to Elizabeth not only to teach her about the world and to teach her skills and progress her talents, but she taught her love and showed her loyalty and gave her the only family life she would ever know. This is my final chosen design I really love the arrangement of the shadows and the colour combination. I also love the dots as I feel it adds depth to my design.

Practise with this design.

This was a practise I had done on myself and this where I was inspired to add the dots. I think this is a really strong look. I have however changed the lashes to black long fluttery fake lashes. I think this will look a lot more intense which is the look I'm going for.

Accessorises

I bought my hairband with the flowers and earrings from H&M. I wanted them to be flowers as I was inspired by the head decorations the women wore back in the Elizabethan times. They were very elaborate and beautiful and I'm inspired by flowers all the time so thought they would go beautifully with the makeup but with the hair as well. I have decided to put my hair in a middle parting and spray it white. This is a throwback to Elizabethan hairstyles as they liked there hair fair as it represented youth and the middle parting was also popular in Elizabethan times as the women liked their hair symmetrical. I also wanted big diamond earrings to signify wealth and wanted them to be rich heart colours to represent the love Kat ashley had for Elizabeth. I wanted the whole look to be passionate and abundant with colour and different textures.
