And meander & traipse on brick pathways...

On Analeise, I did her makeup mixing a smokey grey tone and an ochre on the eyes applied in a roundish shape reminiscent of the 1920's and a sienna yellow beige shade on the lips. I eyeballed and custom mixed the lipcolor using OCC Liptars...

Yana got a variation of the same look, afterall, theyre 'sisters' the 'fauna' to 'flora' but a bit softer on the eyes and a rose tone on the lips courtesy of YSL Rouge Volupte in 03 Ultimate Beige

Obsessed with Sparkly Nails right now. I did 2 different lacquers for this look, one a greigy base and the other a sparkly topcoat courtesy of OPI for Sephora. I love the way that it catches and glistens in the light...sort of like minx on a diet...
