I decided to use red as my main colour. This was due to red being predominantly used in the Elizabethen era. I used the illamasqua skin base to create a white complexion as I feel this creates the most even and more natural white skin base. I added the illamasqua translucent powder onto one side of the face to set it but it made the skin look patchy. The white base has good coverage but I'm not sure if I would use it in my contemporary look as it makes the make up harder to place on top. Next I used red as a contour shade on the cheeks. The eye shadow colour palette didn't have a strong red colour so I used a dark pink shade. If I were to do it again I would build up the colour to achieve a stronger tone. I would also like to use the same colour across the forehead as a contour. This would then give a more contemporary feel to my idea. For my the eyes I used the same contour shade and placed it on the lid. The colour wasn't as pigmented as I would have liked so I kept reapplying to build up the colour. To darken the eye I used the red from the supra colour palette. I place it in the crease and the outer edges and blended it out. The supra colour blended out really easily. I placed this same colour under the eye. I really liked the eyes and think the colour choices worked really well. Trying to find a colour for the lips that went with the eyes was harder as there wasn't an exact shade. I therefore mixed two shades together and placed it all over the lips. It complements the look really well. If I would have had more time I would have liked to add more definition on the eyes and the cheeks.
