The green could be blended a little more evenly across the body, or blended with complementary colors for a creative twist.\n\nWhat&#8217;s gorgeous about this look is the &#8220;tribal&#8221; element of the stenciling and detail, which is simple, beautiful and organic in its finish. This element could be worked into the story or concept of the entry in more detail.\n\nOverall, additional special FX elements along the frame of the face add a great Halloween touch. And the entire mood is dark yet mesmerizing.[\/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;38833&#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;500&#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: Popovici Alexandra<\/h3>\n<h4>Story<\/h4>\nI wanted to create the perfect love story background.

The blending and attention to detail are beautiful, and the techniques to create a true piece of art shows tremendous talent.\n\nThe colors and pigment are intense, but could be given more <em>pop<\/em> with some added neon tones, such as in the sunset and across the eyes.\n\nThe entry is a powerful fantasy look, but a few little elements could take it to another dimension to give it a Halloween twist. For instance, some special FX techniques could have been used to add texture and multi-dimensionality to the sunset, birds, or lovers. Some highlight, contrast, and glittery elements or appliques could also enhance the multi-dimensionality of this incredible body of work.[\/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;Full Width Line&#8221; line_thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; divider_color=&#8221;accent-color&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;60&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<div class=\"\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Congratulations_to_Veronika_for_winning_the_2019_Halloween_Makeup_Contest_Treat_category\"><\/span>Congratulations to Veronika for winning the 2019 Halloween Makeup Contest: Treat category!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nVeronika wins an Anastasia Beverly Hill \u201cPro Lip Palette\u201d, a LORAC \u201cNeon Lights, Pro Pressed Pigments Palette\u201d, an RCMA Makeup \u201cNo Color Powder\u201d, and a pair of Museum of Ice Cream x Sephora Collection\u2019s \u201cRainbow Sherbet Lash\u201d.\n<h3>Thank you once again to all the makeup artists who submitted entries for this contest!
