Starry Eyed

The first step in my graduate collection was experimenting with makeup to create a look reminiscent of Yvaine the Evening Star from Neil Gaiman's 'Stardust'.

One of our subjects required a magazine to be created, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone and get one of the looks sorted out! This look was a lot of fun to create and as we shot this in the laneways of Melbourne we left glitter patches wherever we went |D

The dress itself was made last year but I never got around to shooting it. It was originally 'raincloud' themed, but upon further inspection it looked quite star-themed too!

Lilly ever so graciously painted all of the stars for me.

 She used a mixture of eyeshadows and sealing gel to form a 'paint'.

Lastly, my favourite item that day was Urban Decay's Lickable Body Powder.

We glitterfied everything and it was glorious 8D
