Karla Powell has always been a large inspiration of mine. I love every piece of her work due to the complexity and the time and effort you can see that she puts into every look. I decided to look through her Instagram to see if I could find any inspiration for my final idea.
I came across this particular look of hers that features metallic make up with a theme of purple, pink and silver. She was asked by Illamasqua to complete a live demonstration of a look inspired by he 2013 'Envy' collection. She was inspired by their Blizzard nail varnish and thus came the name 'Blizzard Disco'.
Even though this make-up look has no resemblance of any inspiration from the Elizabethan era, I wanted to look at particular make-up looks and styles that I could potentially use. For example, she used white on the eyelashes. Elizabethan women had very pale eyes, therefore this gave me inspiration to use white on the eyelashes instead of black. I also like the metallic colours used in the look and feel this could give a contemporary feel to my final design. I would look at featuring gold or silver over the face to symbolise wealth. I also like the use of contouring with other colours around the cheeks and forehead. I feel this really defines the look and would modernise an Elizabethan look. Looking at artists work really inspires me in brainstorming my best ideas and thinking of what would work best for my final design.
