Modern Elizabethan makeup

Gothic Beauty magazine's Kristine Rose shows us a  "modern Elizabethan look"...since I'm darker skinned, I've chosen to stay with the red as it shows up more on me than the coral or peach:


A beauty product brought to my attention recently is this eyeshadow palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills, which is, according to the site, "A present-day take on Renaissance colors, this eye palette features 14 shades that let you create stylish, day to night looks. From the earthy yellow and ultra-matte finish of Golden Ochre to Primavera’s shimmer gold with a metallic finish, this palette’s high-pigment shadows are crease and fade-resistant and are sure to bring modern elegance to your eye looks." Naturally, I had to try it out...


When I first went to buy it, none of the Sephora stores apparently seemed to have it in stock, so I had to buy it online, and so far I like it: the packaging is quite elegant, and the colors are nice. Needless to say, I'll be using it for faire from now on!
