Here is my introduction to me! I'm a 21 year old passionate make-up artist who's love for make-up started through performance in musical theatre. Seeing all kinds of prosthetics and looks created in front of me gave me the drive to persue a career in make-up! I then went on to gain experience in various theatre shows, fashion shows, private bookings and worked with my first celebrity client last year! Ive currently got a certificate in Bridal and Fashion make-up application and also my BTEC level 3 in Make-up artistry. Ive had the chance to also work for brands such as Benefit cosmetics and Chanel (loved it!).
For our first project we have to recreate an elizabethan style of make-up with a modern twist and find 3 solutions to make the look work and still embody the elizabethan way of wearing make-up. From what I already know about the Elizabethan era, it was all about nobility and wealth and many famous men and women were born in this era including William Shakespeare, Sir Thomas Wyatt and Mary Queen of Scots. The make-up from this era for wealthy women showed their nobility as wealthier women were seen to have pale skin and working women who were outdoors had tanned skin which showed their class.
My only fear with this project is combining the traditional elizabethan look with a modern take and how I'll make them work well together, but through research I know I'll have a better understanding of the history of Elizabethans and I'll be able to encorporate different aspects of that history into my work. These aspects might include fashion and any post production aswell as the actual make-up.
I'm also however really looking forward to creating a look with a modern twist as it gives me freedom to explore different avenues and I'm looking forward to coming up with my final idea!
