Loreley

"Loreley"
My make-up designs for a photoshoot I intend to do in the near future. "Loreley" is a mermaid who lived in the Rhine, so the theme is basically "mermaid" but I mixed it more with an "inland" idea rather than out at sea (because the Rhine is a river).

The lipstick is two shades of red, getting darker in the middle with a little bit of gold in it too (and some gold gems!). Lighter and darker could be reversed if that would make it look more normal and wouldn't look like it's bleeding out.

The hair piece is something I made using feathers, a shell, gems and some chain - I couldn't get a good angle, though, because I haven't actually attached the clips yet (so it is basically just balancing on the side of my head in that photo.... And yes, that is a wig)
