Although the makeup is fundamental to the contest, the more visually stunning the look is, through tasteful use of the hair, costume styling, and accessories, the more points will be awarded in judging.\n\n<strong>Skill\/Technique:\u00a0<\/strong>Higher points will be awarded to students who demonstrate the use of polished makeup skills, detailed application, symmetry (when it is supposed to be symmetrical), and a diverse use of techniques.\n\n<strong>Photo Quality:\u00a0<\/strong>A good quality image is essential. The photograph should be\u00a0clean and crisp. Higher points will go to images that look like they could be on the site of an influencer, or in a professional portfolio. Avoid images that are blurry, messy, or have cluttered or thoughtless backgrounds (e.g. messy bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.). Any images that are not a realistic version of the artist\u2019s actual work will be disqualified (e.g. anything more than gentle retouching, including blurred skin, visible or over-retouching, filters, etc.).\n\n<strong>Fun\/Originality:\u00a0<\/strong>I expect to see joy, wonder, beauty, and horror! Have fun every step of the way!\n\n<strong>Story:<\/strong> A few sentences about your character, and the story behind him\/her, can do a lot to sell your image. Don\u2019t fall into the trap of telling what you did with the makeup, instead tell the story of who this person is. The stronger your story and concept, the more precise and clear your application will be.\n\n<strong>Final note:\u00a0<\/strong>Mermaids are one of the most popular forms of fantasy makeup in the internet stratosphere. Try to delve into your own imagination, and not the images and how-to\u2019s of others for inspiration. Copying someone else\u2019s how-to or slightly modifying the same make up that has been done a thousand times before, will not show your creativity, skill, or imagination. Anyone can copy a makeup look, but it takes a true artist to actually create something original that others will eventually want to copy. Challenge yourself to make something brand new, in doing so, you\u2019ll truly awaken your inner artist.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finalists_Scoring\"><\/span>Finalists &amp; Scoring<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner background_image=&#8221;31666&#8243; enable_bg_scale=&#8221;true&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;450&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Artist: Cara Sawtell<\/h3>\n<h4>Story<\/h4>\nIt&#8217;s the 1700&#8217;s &#8211; A woman has been left to die out at sea by her husband after she caught him with another woman.

I really appreciate the diverse use of technique. The reshaping of the brow is magnificent. The contour along the hairline, cheekbones, jaw, and neck are divine. I love the addition of the tasteful touch of scales. This is a perfect example of how a tiny touch of something tells a whole story. I think there could be a bit more symmetry in the look. The brows go up at different angles, the outer corner of the eye shadow goes up at different angles and has a different depth of color, the glitter on the inner lid is different on both sides, the line of glitter at the top of each side of the nose is asymmetrical, and the contour in the mast of the face is not symmetrical. I think your concise story is a great addition, but this image leaves me with unanswered questions. Why are her scales and eyes bleeding? I understand the blood from the mouth, but as an artist, sometimes we need to know our image says enough and edit some of those extra additions that don\u2019t further the character and story.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner background_image=&#8221;31665&#8243; enable_bg_scale=&#8221;true&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;450&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Artist: Jelena Olshevska<\/h3>\n<h4>Story<\/h4>\nI had a dream, and in this dream I fall inside an ocean stream.\nThe world I saw was new and dark, but in the end there was a spark,\nA glowing mermaid whispered to my heart:\n&#8220;Life is too short to not make art.&#8221;\n<h4>Score<\/h4>\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Effort:<\/strong> 10\/10<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Skill\/Technique:<\/strong> 10\/10<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Photo Quality:<\/strong> 10\/10<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Fun\/Originality:<\/strong> 10\/10<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Story:<\/strong> 6\/10<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Total Score:<\/strong> 46<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]\n<h4>Comments<\/h4>\nIt is undeniable that this application is exceptional.

I commend you on the superb application. As I mentioned in the contest guidelines, I am not a fan of overused techniques, like the fishnet style scales\u2014unless they are reinvented or done exceptionally\u2026 and in this case, it is exceptional. The lip is applied with great precision. The contour on the nose is exceptional and it restructures the face. The light eye application is nothing short of editorial and the use of the white liner and mascara adds an unearthly touch. I would have loved if the two large jewels were symmetrical and you had committed to a background. The amazing image loses some of its magic when you see a plastic blind behind it. I think it might have been a good idea to leave off that shell. Sometimes editing one thing makes the image stronger\u2014and being that you already used the clich\u00e9 fishnet technique, it might be good to leave off the other clich\u00e9.
