Introduction

This project is called "The New Elizabethans". In this project I will be exploring Elizabethan makeup, from the very beginning to today, looking at how things were done then compared to now. I will be researching Queen Elizabeth I herself, and looking at why she chose the makeup she did. I will also be looking at the way makeup transforms you, as it transformed Elizabeth herself. All of my research will be documented here on my blog, and I look forward to learning about, and exploring the Elizabethan era, as it was such a critical era in the history of Makeup, and I think it will be so fascinating. All of this research will lead to a final project, which is to create a contemporary Elizabethan Makeup and Hair look.
