This Georgian look is much the same for men and women. With men you will need a white court wig, with a tail at the back and a little less blusher (we've used a lot here to make it clear).

Why so pale? It was considered elegant, only a peasant would have a tan as they would have been working in the fields all day only, the most elegant people would avoid the sun at all costs.
1
Starting with a white pancake; we recommend this rather then the white face paint as this is translucent and allows some of the skin tone to show through, take the make up down the neck and onto the décolletage. Take the white over the sides of the mouth... Why? See number 3 below.
2
Add blusher, we use a really strong pink colour (OK so we've overdone it a bit here, just for clarity, you should use a little less); ideally add it to the 'apples' of the cheeks' puff up your cheeks and add a little rosy glow. Uses eyeliner and mascara as usual and add a beauty spot.
3
Add lipstick. This is an important bit to get the look, having taken the white of the base over the corners of the mouth now add the lipstick to the centre, a bow at the top and a small bottom lip, it gives you a pert little mouth, some people know it as bee sting lips!
4
Almost finished, once you have the dress on check that the make up comes far enough down towards the neckline of the dress (you would not want a pink tide line!) Add a white wig and you are finished.
Removal.
As the white base is water-soluble simply wash away and cleanse the face as normal.
