Simple Elizabeth Bennet Inspired Tutorial


Recently I was re-watched Pride and Prejudice (the 1995 version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, not the more recent one) and really liked Elizabeth's makeup; it's really simple and natural. I decided to have a go at recreating it, or something like it.
I used:
  • Collection Concealer in Shade1 Fair
  • Collection Lasting Perfection Powder
  • MUA Powder
  • Natural Collection Blush in Sweet Cheeks
  • Revlon Lash Potion
  • Natural Collection Lipstick in Berry Sorbet


Elizabeth's makeup is really natural looking, so I decided to go without foundation, and just use a little bit of concealer and powder to cover up any blemishes or shininess.

Elizabeth/Jennifer Ehle has really fantastic cheekbones, so I decided to try contouring my cheeks to try and get that affect. I basically just applied a bit of powder that's slightly darker than my skin tone under my cheekbones; I don't really know much about contouring in case you can't tell. I think it turned out okay though.
The powder and my freckles are just all blending together

Next I applied some blusher. I didn't actually use as much as it looks like I did in the picture; the lighting just got very strange, and I sorta look like I have a fever or something.


Next, apply a little bit of mascara...


Add lipstick, and that's it!
