Makeup was generally frowned upon in the early and mid tudor period, but became more popular when Elizabeth was Queen because she often wore it. In the tudor period make up was called 'paint' and was usually not very good because it was often gaudy in colour and clumsily applied. However more common forms of make up were used which lightened the skin and hair, because fair hair and skin was considered beautiful at the time. Elizabeth I used a conncoction of egg shell, egg white, ash, rose water and later white lead to make her skin white. This was because she was generally said to have a sallow complexion and after 1562 she was scarred from smallpox.
