Understanding of the Elizabethan Beauty





The Elizabethan beauty was very opposite but not that different to modern beauty, pale skin and veins showing and high foreheads (big foreheads) was considered to be beautiful. Women painted there skin white drew fake veins and even shaved their hairline to achieve the high forehead look. I guess not much as change know, instead of women painting there skin white, they bronze it up using fake tone; and instead of drawing veins women know draw in their eyebrows.   So although the looks are opposites the same inspiration is there.
This picture of Tyra Banks as captured my heart. Not only do I love Tyra Banks, I love her In this picture, she has brought the Elizabeth the era look to life. The makeup and hair colour and accessories are all on point. Everything from the pale skin to rosy chic’s and almost invisible eyebrows is just perfect. The costume is precise and oh so Elizabeth the 1st.  
The costume worn in this picture is something one would expect wealthy women in the Elizabethan era to wear. The colour of the dress is very similar to the one worn by Elizabeth in the above portrait
