The hair and make up for The White Queen, according to the BBC Media Centre's media pack on The White Queen, was '‘dulled’ down to make their faces look almost tired on camera - rather than what is usually applied to ‘brighten’ faces for TV.'. This was to make the characters look older as the series progressed.
This helped with the authenticity of the time span of the series because the 10 episode series is over the course of 20 years.
In terms of hair, Rebecca Ferguson (Elizabeth Woodville) had the longest hair wig because at that time women did not cut their hair so to make the hair look authentic, the BBC had to sought out a real hair wig.
