The film 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age' is directed by Shekhar Kapur and produced by Universal Pictures and Working Title Films. The screenplay was written by Michael Hirst and William Nicholson. Cate Blanchett is on the role of Queen Elizabeth I of England and the film is about the romantic disappointments of Elizabeth to Sir Walter Raleigh, the invasion of the Spanish Armada, betrayal by Elizabeth's cousin Mary Stuart and how Elizabeth secure her position of being Queen of England. In the film, Blanchett (Elizabeth) wears many different outfits and the costumes were created by Alexandra Byrne. The film won an Academy Award for Best Costume and was nominated for BAFTA of Best Costume, Makeup, Production Design and Actress in a Leading Role. On below are some of the pictures from the film and you can see Blanchett wore many different outfits.
The makeup look of Blanchett (Elizabeth I) kept simple in the film and the makeup didn't changed as much. The features of the Elizabethans of pale white complexion, thin arched eyebrows, rosy cheeks and lips were seen in the film.
On above, I have found a photo of a scene from the film of Elizabeth I which I think links to my final design makeup look. By the use of white complexion on the face, it symbolizes wealth, purity and beauty during the Elizabethan era. I have used gold colour on my makeup look which shows power and wealth and also links to the photo above where Elizabeth is wearing a dress decorated with gold beads. The eyebrows are barely invisible which also related to my makeup as I have used white base to block the colour of the brows. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth:_The_Golden_Age
