This was somewhat of a challenge but a lot of fun. Rob was inspired by an image of a girl with flowers held over her hair, and once again we set out to “better” the wood nymph feel. We wanted to use purple Iris’s over her hair, though Cally could not find them so we used these greenish flowers – whose petals were recycled as eye-brows and eye-lashes with the help of DUO glue.

Main Make-Up Ingredient: DUO adhesive, fresh flower petals, MAC eyeshadow in “chrome yellow“, “parfait amour” and “thunder”(limited ed.) MAC pigment in “golders green” was used over her lips under clear lipglass.

Pro Tip: When dealing with something fiddly such as petals or feathers or individual lashes use tweezers to position the object in place, check the direction of the curve of the hair/petal and hold in place until secure. Using as little glue as possible cover the tip of the lash or petal and wait for the glue to become tacky before adhering it to the skin.
