Watching clips of the film I find the Cate 'Elizabeth' Make-up very natural, calm and beautiful showing early stages off her life. Elizabeth was very pale but had very clear skin which I personally think shows the sign of great beauty, she had beautiful long red hair which was naturally wavy. Through out the film the make-up artists show a clear indication of Elizabeth ageing as her hair was thinning out and one of the scenes you see her hair falling out as she brushes it. At the final scene of Elizabeth you see a great age difference from the beginning of the film and the way the make-up is applied as it shows heavier make-up, the hair stylist created a wig which was designed into a Elizabethan hair style but also to show her hair line had been brought more back onto the head. Think the make-up shows a great way on how Elizabeth looked back whilst she was on the throne of England.

Fire Over England (1973)
Flora Robson
"Queen Elizabeth is running this show. The men in her court should be thinking about how to add to the glory of the Elizabethan Age and how to foil those pesky Spanish who got far too much influence in England when her older sister Mary was on the throne after their father Henry VIII was succeeded by their sickly half brother. Elizabeth thinks Michael Ingolby can do great things. Michael is mostly thinking about one of Elizabeth's ladies in waiting, Cynthia. Soon his mind is on survival when Elizabeth sends him on a voyage to Spain".
Special Effects Artist - Renee Hulbert was responsible for the special effects of 1937 fire over England, the make-up artist is not to be known as I searched to find on the internet and nothing was to be found.
In this film is was hard to judge the make-up as it was in black and white. But looking at the hairstyles was great in this film as it gave creative technical hairstyles which was Elizabeth thing back when she was the throne. I like the hairstyle which is created in this image I have chosen here as I think it shows royalty and sophistication which was Elizabeth's description on how she was as a queen. The prosthetic nose which was applied onto Elizabeth was applied on with great disguise as there was no sharp edges to the application.

The private lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939)
Bette Davis
"A depiction of the love/hate relationship between Queen Elizabeth I and Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex".
Make-up Artist - Perc Westmore
By watching clips of the film as I couldn't find the full film online I saw great make-up and hairstyles, In this image I think it shows great skill into wig work and how the curls are a constant size and shape and a lot of time and effort was taken into creating this hairstyle. This film was based on Elizabeth older generation. It shows she applied a lot of make-up as shown in the film, her eyebrows were thinned, pale skinned, minimal make-up on the eyes and red lipstick. This make-up showed the sign of power and that she was in good control of her country.

The Virgin Queen (Tv Series 2005)
Anne Marie Duff
"The Virgin Queen explores the full sweep of Elizabeth's life: from her days of fear as a potential victim of her sister's terror; through her great love affair with Robert Dudley; into her years of triumph over the Armada; and finally her old age and her last, enigmatic relationship with her young protégé, the Earl of Essex".

Looking at the two images given it shows a great ageing difference. I think the make-up is similar to the film Elizabeth 1997, a very natural young Elizabeth grown into an older and a harsher make-up application a wig is applied to the older Elizabeth and her hair is more of an Elizabeth hairstyle with consist curls, shape and size on the front hairline of the image on the right.
