Help! How do i do my make up for a Medieval woman ( like a queen) for halloween?

Question

The dress is red and gold ...please help!

Answer 1

you want realism? Don't wear any!

Otherwise go with brown tones. brown eyeliner, various shades of the brown family for eye shadow. a natural colored blush and lipstick that almost matches your real lip color.

Unless you want to dress up like Elizabeth 1, in that regard go pale and porcelain, red hair, a foundation 5 shades or so lighter than your actual color, Absolutely White talcum powder and black eyeliner with bright red lips.

Answer 2

You don't really need any, since real makeup wasn't widely used in the Middle Ages. If you insist on having some, use just a little bit of blush, mascara, cover up or foundation if you need it, and natural-looking pink or red lipstick (whichever is closer to your natural coloring). Make sure they're not glittery or shiny or anything- that will make it just look fake.

Answer 3

Make-up was not a very common thing during the Middle Ages. As royalty you would probably apply rouge to your cheeks and perhaps lips. During the Renaissance, roughly 1300-1600, you would see more make-up in use as chemicals and spices from the Middle East became more widely available.

Answer 4

White pancake makeup, rouge on the cheeks a strawberry blonde / red wig if you want to look like queen Elizabeth I. (and black teeth!)

Answer 5

Pale powder, red lipstick, black eyeliner, rouge just on the apples of your cheeks. Maybe a big black beauty mark off your eye or mouth.
