Alexander McQueen
The image on the bottom left was the inspiration into the designs (bottom right) that he created for the runway in March 2013.
The makeup look in the top right hand corner was the recent fall 2015 collection that he designed, this was the runway makeup that they used. As you can see it has a lot of similarities to Elizabethan times however has been modernised to cosmetics and trends today. The complexion is still extremely pale and a rouge tone has been used on the lips, cheeks and eyes. The look is a lot softer and has been blended a lot which is very on trend at the moment. The eyes are bright and the eyebrows are very fair. However, in Elizabethan times the complexion would be very matte, this look has a dewy, glow to the skin which is very modern.
