Elizabethan inspired contemporary look/make up in fashion

 About the image
British designer Gareth Pugh's opening outfit paid homage to Elizabethan dress, featuring a latex ruff collar a top and a dress with latex ruffled underskirts – it was clear that Pugh was staying true to form.

About the makeup

-The makeup has been kept very simple. Just like the Elizabethan era, the eye brow has been taken off and the cheeks kept rosy, as well as the lips. This is a clear interpretation of a contemporary Elizabethan look. The clothing, especially the neck piece, is Elizabethan inspired.

About the makeup
-It’s clear to see that this image of Tyra Banks is a representation of the Elizabethan era. Her hair is more of a ginger colour, which is the same as the Elizabethan look. The makeup worn is very simple and natural looking, making it more contemporary. However the stained lip and a red cheeks is very Elizabethan. The use of pearls and the head piece is a great interpretation of a contemporary Elizabethan.

About the image.
This image is an alexander McQueen tribute. May 2010 by Tyra banks. Paying tribute to the legendary fashion designer Alexander McQueen, 36-year-old America’s Next Top Model host Tyra Banks pays her respects by creating a shoot inspired by McQueen‘s latest designs with a guest appearance by American Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley.

A Quote from Tyra:  “I wanted to do a photo shoot decked out in H2T McQueen. McQueen was considered royalty in the fashion community. I feel like a queen whenever I wear his clothes (especially the stunning blue dress I wore for this shoot)! I would like to think that he would have loved these photos.”

About the makeup
-Beyoncé in an O2 mobile phone company advert. There is a lot of Elizabethan reference in this image, everything from the hair been height and textured which was a grate fashion in the Elizabethan era. The makeup worn by Beyoncé for this advert is contemporary as it has a lot of natural beauty within it, however the red lips and the natural looking pink cheeks represent the Elizabethan era.
