Key Films And Actors Who Played Queen Elizabeth I 

Elizabeth I (2005) - Hellen Mirren

Hellen Miren portrayed Queen Elizabeth I pretty well, soft make up was well recreated making it look very convincing to Elizabethan era. 

The Virgin Queen (2005) - Anne-Marie Duff

Anne-Marie Duff's make up I was not impressed with, it was lacking a lot of details such like more red pigmentation on the lips and cheeks, it did not look like Elizabethan make up. 

Elizabeth (1998) - Cate Blanchett

One of the best recreations of Queen Elizabeth I, Cate's make up and hair was done perfectly true Elizabethan, in every scene make up was very accurately recreated from red lips, cheeks, pale complexion, to bleached out eye brows, white eye lashes and shaved hair line.

Fire Over England (1973) - Flora Robson

Flora Robson recreated Queen Elizabeth quite well

Blackadder (1980) - Miranda Richardson

In this film I have noticed that make up was definitely more different than Elizabethan era, skin a lot more sun kissed and tanned, eye brows did not seem to be bleached out nor the eye lashes. 

Shakespeare in love (1998) - Judi Dench

Judi Dench impersonated Queen Elizabeth really well, she committed to have her hair line shaved as well as bleaching out her eye brows. 

Elizabeth R (1971) - Glenda Jackson

Make up was portrayed and presented very well, mask like skin complexion (due to all the damage to the skin), red lips with a lot of blusher on the cheeks, high forehead and white eye lashes definitely represented Queen Elizabeth when she got older and she was forced to have more of a mask like make up on her face.
