Estella Make up Research

My initial Idea for Estella's makeup was to create look that represented make up worn by an English rose - Natural. In all the adaptions I've seen, Estella wears minimal makeup that made her look naturally dewy and young.

As you can see the Makeup on Estella is very minimal and
you can't actually tell that she has any on


Victorian Beauty Regime 

In the late 1890s, the makeup style of Victorian women was that of paleness. Lemon juice and vinegar juice was either applied or consumed to maintain this fair complexion.The idea of a woman actively seeking a tan was unheard of and only expected in the farming class. Society women kept indoors much of the time.




My Idea

So I'm going to keep to the original look of Estella, one of natural beauty. This will help to give a true representation of Estella, because in the book she's described as a natural beauty.
