Elizabeth - Cate Blanchett

Melissa Michaels. (2008). Oscars 2008: Cate Blanchett Doubles Down on Her Lucky Number Two. Available: http://www.hollywoodtoday.net/2008/02/22/oscars-2008-cate-blanchett-doubles-down-on-her-lucky-number-two/. Last accessed 25th Oct 2013.

Cate Blanchett who played Elizabeth in Elizabeth: The Golden Age was a big inspiration to me when it came to Elizabethan hairstyles.  I love the texture of the hair and how it is styled off the face.  These two elements were something I definitely wanted to include in my final hair design.  Because the hair is off the face, you are drawn to the make-up and how elegant her face is.

Although Cate's hair is curly I decided I wanted mine a bit more textured, this is when I decided to use the frizzing technique.  However, after trying it out, I realised my design would be better if I used crimpers.  I tried this technique out and decided it was perfect for my idea.
