The dying Queen was heavily made up and she looked like she was already deceased. Elizabeth was suffering from what is now known as Leukemia and had a ghostly pallor in her last days- the makeup only enhanced this ( White-greyish) look . I would imagine her Ladies In Waiting were responsible for royal cosmetics including post mortem. a very interesting question- but her Ghostly Pallor is obvious in even cinematic tributes to Elizabeth I.
