\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe work on the snow queen shows a level of finesse that is very impressive. The careful use and placement of color and the over all mood of the make up allows for the inspiration to be clear, while not being overly literal. The use of blending and hard edged lines creates a beautiful juxtaposition of the hard and soft that is seen in the inspiration image. The winter wonderland is beautiful, but it is also harsh and perhaps unlivable, these two characteristics exist in this character. <\/p>\n\n
The work is subtle and beautiful. I am particularly taken by a few key elements, first, the small reflective foil flecks on the forehead and temples capture the sun spots of the image perfectly. The foil lashes are a stroke of genius. I adore the soft use of fine silver glitter on the lips and brows. The tiny touch of chartreuse peeking out from the crease (just as the it peeks out from behind the trees) is magic. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Some of the colors and positions are not perfectly identical on both sides, but in this case, I find it to be more suited to the character. No living creature is 100% identical on each side, and I think theses slight differences somehow make her a bit more human. This is a great lesson in what happens when skill and creativity meet. Beautiful work. <\/p>\n\n

This look makes excellent use of the rich purples and icy whites from the image. The look is captivating. I adore the cut crease, the use of such a hard white on the waterline, the double winged liner and the soft hombre in the lip. <\/p>\n\n
There are a few points I would offer some critique on (only in an effort to push you further as an artist). The upper lashes have spider legged. This happens when too much mascara has been applied without taking the time to comb out our separate the individual strands. I would recommend. applying, combing them out and reapplying. The lower lashes are very clumpy and this distracts from the beauty of the image. With an eye that is so dynamic and specific, it is important that your work be nearly exact on both sides. Here are a few points you should look at.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
