Unzipped

My look for Halloween 2017. Again- I may have taken the easy way out and not worn an actual costume and done my makeup instead. However my 5:00 am wake-up call begs to differ. Since I never ever do a trial of my Halloween looks; I give myself a little extra time in the mornings to figure out what I’m doing and how. Believe it or not, I used makeup and tools I already had. I mean, when else was I going to wear ALL the purple, blue and pink pigments and sparkles I had apparently lying around. I literally wear the exact same makeup look every single morning (see left side of my face) so this was fun to do. Step out of my comfort zone and play a little. I was going to have the zipper unzip to reveal a gory, bloody mess; but I thought that was a little too gory for 5 am. I love the way it turned out and the tricks it forced me to think of along the way to make this work.
