Recently for my Elizabethan project I have been researching into the Elizabethan era by looking at a variety of Elizabethan portraits, quotes on hair and make-up from the Elizabethan era, books such as 'Fashions in hair the first five thousand years' by Richard Corson which has pages of useful information about the processes Elizabethan women would go through in order to achieve bleached hair, and also has many images of various Elizabethan hairstyles for both men and women which is really useful. I also watched the film 'Elizabeth' which was really interesting, as the make-up was done in such a way that it looked authentic, but at the same time with a slight contemporary twist as the product wasn't layered on so thickly.
I am really looking forward to experimenting more and researching into more contemporary versions of Elizabethan hair and make-up, as there are so many possible outcomes when taking inspiration from things such as the pale skin and rosy checks and lips, the solid structured elaborate hair styles, and the grand clothing and jewels.
