Evaluation

Throughout this brief I have learnt so much about the Elizabethans, not only about their make up and fashion but about their lifestyles. I have especially enjoyed learning about Queen Elizabeth who I feel is very inspiration throughout her life. I loved learning about all the ways they created their make up with the small amount of resources they had in these times, no matter how damaging it was to their skin. It made me appreciate how lucky we are in these times and showed me how far people would go to gain the ideal face of beauty of those times. Although we got to look at basic techniques, I really enjoyed learning the parts that are especially for the Elizabethan style such as Blocking Eyebrows or the perfect white base.
If I were to do this again I would want to find more primary and secondary research, especially looking at more books. I needed to incorporate more portraits and more influences throughout my study. Other than that I've found the blog extremely helpful in keeping track of the development of my work. My technical files have always been useful to look back on and remind me of the skills I've learnt.
