The process...

The assignment with this makeup was to create a beauty makeup that borrowed elements from the artist's favorite animal. I chose the green tree python because I was excited by the challenge of integrating the geometric patterns of the scales with classic soft feminine beauty features. I applied a light foundation base to smooth the skin tone everywhere except for the forehead. There I used fishnet as a template to paint the scales around. I lined the eyes and applied yellow eyeshadow to make them pop. The application process took 60 minutes.
