Queen Elizabeth Meets Rihanna - Red Lips & Pale Face

Since our first assessment was to create a New Elizabethan, and I chose Rihanna as my new elizabethan, my final makeup desing is going to be a mixture between Queen Elizabeth I and Rihanna's makeup. 
The portrait that I analysed in one of my first posts is the "Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I"; oil on canvas (c. 1592) by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger. That is the portrait that I chose to be my inspiration; the elements that I will use for my contemporary look are the pale skin and rosy cheeks

Just like Queen Elizabeth, Rihanna loves her red lipstick. As a matter of fact, she has released two shades of her VIVA GLAM Lipstick, by MAC; one is actually called RiRi Woo and it is a similar shade to their famous Ruby Woo lipstick.
Here is an image of her rocking the red lip at the premiere of Battleship in LA (May 10th 2012)
Rihanna wore bright red lips with a white dress for the premiere of Battleship in LA.

After showing these face charts to Kat Vogart, she said that the red lip is an element that most people are thinking of using in their final look. She suggested I try to change the colours. Also, she mentioned that my design should be more of a mixture of Queen Elizabeth and Rihanna, than it is now. This feedback was helpful.
