Halloween is coming up and was in mood for something dark and morbid this time. :blackrose: :skull:
I don't really celebrate those kind of holidays but lately I saw a lot of pictures from this Latin-American Holiday "Dia de muertos" --> [link] which takes place around Halloween (or Samhain or Allerheiligen... whatever you want to call it). I just love the way people dress up for that day and I always wanted to try that kind of makeup.

I tell you... The makeup took me ages! And it still looks kind of messy. I'm not really satisfied with it, but I couldn't do any better on my own.

I hope you enjoy it anyways. I wish you all a happy Halloween/Samhain/Dia de muertos/Allerheiligen! :aww: :pumpkin:

Dia de muertos... Dia de los muertos... I don't know how it is really called, since the web offers both variations. Maybe someone Latin-American can help out ;)

EDIT: :icon7cimi-19ceh: was so kind to explain that it's "Día de muertos" :aww: and that this kind of look belongs to La Catrina, The Lady of the Dead. So I decided to update the title. Seems more fitting than the previous one :nod:

Full view please :nod:

Good perspective. I loved the lips, it draws me in I fine. Still... even through it's 'messy' as you say, it's still pretty awesome. It's a perfect shot and well worth the time to get this wonderful result. Great job!
