As I have been paired up with Dil for my final assessment, I thought it would be a good idea to work with her for this Elizabethan make-up activity. I did a consultation of her skin, so that I would be prepared for when I begin practising her make-up design on her. I think she has quite good skin to work on, with very few blemishes or sensitivities.

Today we learnt further techniques for applying a white base, and added whitened eyebrows and eyelashes, blush directly on the apples of the cheeks, and rouged lips; all in theme with Elizabethan make-up. By now I feel confident in my white base application, although today I tried the Illamasqua White Base Foundation rather than the Supra Colour. I liked it more than the first time I tried it, as I think I used less coverage and buffed it more for a less solid and blotchy effect. As Dil's eyebrows and eyelashes are so dark and thick, covering them with white make-up did not have the 'bleached' effect I was hoping for, so I may have to try techniques like wax or glue, with concealer on top, to give the effect of bare eyebrows. For the lips I used a reddish blush colour, and pressed it on with my finger. I really liked the striped, blotchy effect in the first lip picture.
