Elizabeth - Golden Age is a mystery and suspense/drama film and was brought out in November 2007. It's directed by Shekhar Kapur and written by Michael Hirst and William Nicholson.
This film is about the golden age finding Queen Elizabeth I facing blood-lust for her throne and familial betrayal. Elizabeth finds her rule openly challenged by the Spanish king Philip II with his powerful army and sea dominating armada trying their best to restore England to Catholicism. Elizabeth struggles to balance ancient royal duties with an unexpected vulnerability in her love for Sir Walter Raleigh. However he stays forbidden for a queen who has sworn body and soul to her country. Elizabeth then persuades her favourite lady in waiting Bess to befriend Raleigh and keep him near by, although this plan enables Elizabeth to see their growing intimacy. As she charts her course abroad, Sir Francis Walsingham keeps his masterful puppetry of Elizabeth's court at home and her campaign to solidify absolute power. Walsingham manages an assassination plot which could topple the throne but as he unmasks traitiors that may include Elizabeth's cousin Mary Stuart, without realising he sets England up for destruction.
My make-up design relates to the golden age film because of the pale white complexion, very light, fine eyebrows, pale eye make-up, rosey cheeks and the red lips.
