The ideal look for a women in the Elizabethan Era was a pale face and red lips and cheeks. Only upper class women were aloud to wear makeup, because lower class women worked outside and developed a tan. Being pale was a sign of beauty as well as wealth. White make-up was used to give a very fair look and it also was great at covering wrinkles, therefore giving a younger look. White lead and vingegar was used to give this white complexion. Kohl was used on eyelashes to make them appear darker and expensive red dye called cochineal was used for the cheeks and lips.
