What make up did Elizabeth's 1st have?

They wore a very thick and white face makeup, because fair skin was found the most beautiful, with very bright red lips and cheeks. This makeup meant a woman was upper class and had money. Ceruse was a mixure of white lead and vinegar, and it was also poisonous. Most people use this extreme makeup to cover signs of aging.

Face paint was known as fucus, it was a combination and types of red colour. Vermillion was most popular of all. Cochineal and madder were also used as rouge. It was applied in a thick layer on the lips.
