An interesting job with her makeup here... A lot of illusion in place.
Her lips are rouged, with the lower lip quite de-emphasized -- like she barely covered half the lip with the color.
Of her eyepencil, the line is drawn just a bit under her lower eyelids (at a distance this would probably make them look larger), right on the lashline at her upper eyelids with this line extended out a bit past the eye, then another solid line drawn in her crease.
Eyeshadow was not marketed in the Victorian/Edwardian era, though some women -- especially actresses -- did use equivalent substances. In fact, the first eyeshadows that were marketed appear to have been cream substances, more like actor's grease-paint which was used by stage folk. It's hard to tell but it looks like she might have a coat of something over her eyelid and swept down under her eye as well.
It should be noted this is probably only a stage actress's makeup -- not something that a regular woman would wear. But still, it's nice to be able to see some of the cosmetic tricks they were putting to use!
